A new age!
Hello community,
It gives me great pleasure to be back and continue taking care of this community, with the help of you guys, the ones who keep it alive.
For those who don't know me, my real name is Ovidiu and go by the alias of CyclopP. I've been with XJ since 2006 (even earlier but I didn't have an account until 2006). In 2008 I applied for a cup and map admin position. Later I was promoted to the leader of the mapchecking crew and after some time to COO of XJ. In 2011 I decided to retire due to my inability to continue working here and because I didn't quite like the way this community was evolving, or better said devolving.
A few weeks ago I decided to offer my help again, because I knew it was needed and because I felt like it wasn't fair the way I left back then, leaving faker alone to handle everything. The timing was perfect, since faker was already planning to retire and also he already thought of me as being his replacement.
He promoted PsYxOpAt to the rank of COO, leaving me in his position, as CEO.
Before I continue any further, I would like to show my respect and gratitude towards faker, who is probably the most hard working admin XJ ever had and because he was, and still is, a true CEO. Hat off for you, faker!
Now, these management changes were deeply discussed and I assure you that no one accepted anything blindly. We do have a plan, which I will talk about in a moment, but everyone needs to understand that these kind of things take time and won't happen over night.
Short story, our plan is as following:
