Changes in the XJ management

By faker mapper·
Hey everyone,

it's not a big secret that I wasn't around as often as it would have been required for a good CEO lately. Maybe I was still able to spend exactly the time that was needed to keep the site alive, however I felt that I was not able to invest any additional time for new projects, cool events or structural changes that I felt were needed for a long time. Some admins showed a great initiative and organized events on their own (thanks for that, you know who you are), but I was merely able to concentrate on internal coordination tasks. I always knew that this was far away from being an ideal situation, however I've finally come to realize that the situation doesn't get better, no matter how hard I tried to make up more time for XJ in my private daily schedules. So I think it is about time to be honest enough to myself regarding this situation and judge things objective, especially after I realized that I am having motivation issue as well and I lost the connection to the KZ community, after I stopped playing myself a long time ago.

Of course this is not an optimal condition and can't go on forever, that's why I think it's really about time to retire for good and pass the torch to some one else.

Hence: With immediate effect I resign from my position as CEO. CyclopP will be XJ's new CEO and PsYxopAt the new COO. Both showed great initiative and did great work on XJ and within the KZ community in general in the past, so I'm more then certain they are going to take over just well and hopefully bring back some activity, life and positive changes to XJ.

I'm sure both of them are going to address a few words to you and inform you about upcoming changes and new projects that within the not too distant future.

Thanks for the great time to everyone I ever met and all the hours of fun we had! However, this is not a complete good bye, I will still be around, even though it won't be in the same situation and with the same intensity as before.

Farewell!

17/11/2013 17:36:00

Thanks for all your work as a 'pillar' of this whole community in the past years, faker! All the best from here on.

17/11/2013 18:16:00

gl and thanks for everything, faker. I'm betting CyclopP and PsYxopAt will do a great job ;)

17/11/2013 18:19:00

Congratz cyclop. Would you ever expect that? :)

17/11/2013 18:20:00

<3

17/11/2013 18:22:00

XJ's death certificate just got signed. Templars are winning

17/11/2013 18:54:00

Promoting cyclopp to CEO is the greatest decision this site has ever made; brilliant admin and community member alongside being an all round great guy, congratulations cyclopp. Absolutely wonderful.

17/11/2013 19:00:00

Hey faker I didn't know what the management exactly did over the past months and years, but I think it is a good decision, because managing a website and all the stuff that's coming with that job is pretty intense and time consuming. (economical point of view) It's a big step but necessary when you don't have the time and motivation. But nontheless kudos to you faker! You really earned the respect. I hope the new guys can handle everything well and hopyfully bring a breath of fresh air into the community. I only have one wish and I think it is indeed important. The roots of XJ lie in Germany. I hope there will always be some Germans in the management even if it's just in the background.

17/11/2013 20:55:00

Didn't even notice PU9maker was admin meh.

17/11/2013 21:18:00

Honestly, faker, is been a time, you did your best and it's time for someone to take a lead of site. We will see how would new management deal with this, i wish them all the best...

17/11/2013 21:44:00

"beginning of the end" "xj is dead" "cya xj" bla bla bla Xj will die only when Sauron get the ring. Fortunately, 2 brave hobbits are carying it right here and right now. The great magician faker gave the ring to Cyclop and Psycho. Even tho their nicknames are very strange even for hobbits, we all hope that they will do their best to destroy the ring and... oh wait.. what?

17/11/2013 22:22:00

Psyxopat would be nice name for hobbit... :D

18/11/2013 05:11:00

hahah

17/11/2013 22:37:00

xj wont go down. CyclopP & PsYxopAt are nice persons, they will keep this site up and running. they are even working hard behind the scene for years.

17/11/2013 23:08:00

great decision, yet still a sad one

17/11/2013 23:46:00

saddd

18/11/2013 00:06:00

Good luck man!

18/11/2013 00:42:00

good luck :^)

18/11/2013 01:59:00

Farewell faker

18/11/2013 02:18:00

good luck

18/11/2013 02:21:00

One last thing to ask from you guys, if you grant me that llast wish so to say. Please give my successor a fair chance to prove themselves, before you talk about "the end of XJ" or stuff like that :) [b]The community is what you make out of it guys. If you want some positive stuff to happen, think and act positive![/b]

19/11/2013 18:45:00

Fare Well!

18/11/2013 03:47:00

Good luck to faker, CyclopP, PsYxopAt, and XJ!

18/11/2013 04:32:00

needn't we have to be so sad. :D faker's retirement doesn't mean anything to all of our kzer. it just means there is someone fresh to handle this community. maybe there is going to be a revival if we take it optimistic. gl faker and the new admins. btw: who is the userid no.1?

18/11/2013 05:43:00

@ faker Don't sweat much on retiring. Because of the time, money and social life you have sacrificed for the sake of this website, you wont be able to stay away from it for a long time. Just get along with your life, chase your priorities and once you settle down, make a comeback. It'd be all hazy from this point onwards but hope the likes of omilo, boom, eDark, etc inspire you to become active again. Age is just an excuse. You'd never grow old enough to be back to your sweetheart. Good Luck for your real life priorities. May you settle down soon and return to the scene. :gj: @ CyclopP & PsYxopAt You guys have been doing a tremendous job staying in the background for a pretty long time. I am really happy to see you both promoted. And I can bet my life on it that you'd carry on the torch that faker entrusted you with. Good Luck !! PS: PsYxo, don't even bother to comment back on the accusations / mockery regarding the Lynn issue. The people that matter to you, already know your good intentions.

18/11/2013 06:00:00

^a3tius haha :D I won't of course. Since no one knows what was my purpose. ANyway. Guys, please give us a chance and even if it's possible, please help us to revive this community. I promise that you won't be disappointed.

18/11/2013 08:07:00

so sad, the whole community will die now Btw, congratulation PsYxOpAt

18/11/2013 09:45:00

miss you and goodbye faker!

18/11/2013 10:21:00

Yo lagster <3

18/11/2013 15:11:00

hey bro <3 haha nice to see you

18/11/2013 15:59:00

lol!

19/11/2013 00:25:00

yo vodka boy

18/11/2013 11:05:00

I remember when PsYxopAt gave me a perm ban on cosy for defending one guy who he insulted,don't know how smart it is to put that guy as COO.

19/11/2013 18:58:00

sure. For me it was weird choose But the XJ is believed to be a good choice

18/11/2013 11:35:00

Sad to see you go faker. GL to the new CEO and COO. I know you guys will do great!

18/11/2013 14:51:00

Well I don't know why the hell you guys are speaking that from now on XJ is going to die slowly and unconsciously.What a fuck? Those all bullshits.Good luck in your life faker and write some news sometimes so we can see that you are not dead ha ha :D

18/11/2013 15:29:00

LONG LIFE XJ!

18/11/2013 16:12:00

Faker you are the guy who has done second most for KZ, standing right behind Kreedz himself! Thank you for everything, as I've said time and time again! sincerely thank you.

18/11/2013 18:22:00

Thanks for everything u did for us faker , kreedz started it , you continue it , its not bad idea handling to someone else , you have your life too ! i will try my best on the forum by making tutorials for new kz maps since thats all i can, stay positive.

19/11/2013 11:09:00

Best reply.

18/11/2013 20:18:00

I am sure CyclopP will do a good job, about PsYxopAt, I am not that sure, good luck both. Cya around faker.

18/11/2013 22:08:00

awesome news , i trust both , even if i don´t know CyclopP personally , but i know that psyxopat will do a great job :D gl

18/11/2013 22:55:00

Psyxopat will have to prove himself in my eyes tho im sure cyclopp is the good choice... hes a wise mam, at least thats my thoughts about him!

18/11/2013 23:43:00

Doom sayers - doom sayers everywhere. Aren't you getting tired of doing that? In my 8(?) years here, I've seen so many "fatal" changes to the site/staff/unameit that XJ would have been in oblivion for five years plus. Give our new lead a chance. And even if you don't - I'm still confident that they and XJ will abide even without your support. To another coupla years! And thank you tons, faker, for what you did with kreedz in all these years.

18/11/2013 23:45:00

Totally right perd0

19/11/2013 08:49:00

Who are these two guys? Never heard of them.

19/11/2013 08:56:00

but, it meant kz's death? i am looking for weekly new wrs. even who's the next ceo.

19/11/2013 15:42:00

XJ can reach die, KZ won't

19/11/2013 18:47:00

Xtreme-Jumps ? All of Kreedz Good luck. Any players.

22/11/2013 03:49:00

Good news.

25/11/2013 11:45:00

sad to hear it, but have to admit, it is kinda time for a change

25/11/2013 19:20:00

You've done a TREMENDOUS job in keeping this site alive! I think you're making a good decision to finally do what's best for your own life's future/current present. Only concentrating on juggling the balls you know you're in total control of and not constantly being reminded of thinking that you should try breathing life into XJ at the same time. I Sincerely appreciate all the work you've done, thank you.
