 Posted: Fri Dec 08, 2017 12:32 pm Post subject: Rancor Pit ownership |
 |
|
Hello everyone. I would like to announce that I am stepping down as admin of the Rancor Pit. I no longer play the game and don't have a lot of time to devote to the site. I feel I'm no longer doing the site or the community justice, and probably haven't been for a long time. Rather than just shut the site down, I am transferring ownership of the site to Whill. He will be taking over as the new admin/owner of the site. I will still be around to help Whill with any technical issues that may come up, especially to ensure the transition goes smoothly. I would like to thank Whill for taking ownership of the site. I think he will do a good job with it and I hope this transition will keep the site around for a long time to come!

Good choice. If anybody is interested and dedicated to D6 Star Wars, it is Whill.
Happy trails, Taal. Don't be a stranger! |

The King is dead. Long live the King.

Err... Let's think of it more as a Diocletian-type emperor. At least in terms of the end of the reign... not in terms of social and political reforms. 
BTW, having worked along side Whill for the longest time, I can't think of a better match. I'm really happy that Whill has the time and energy to devote to the site.

Sad to see you go, Loc. I wish you the best of luck in whatever you do. Thank you for setting this site up and maintaining it for so long. I've met some incredible folks here, and I have you to thank for that opportunity. Godspeed, my friend.

Thank you, Loc. Thank you for creating The Rancor Pit Forums and maintaining it for over 14 years. For a site devoted to game that ceased publication almost 20 years ago, we have created quite a legacy here. Over 6,500 topics and 170,000 posts! And thank you for working with me to keep the site going and for all your help with the transition.
Cheers to you, Loc Taal!

To commemorate the occasion, my son and I watched Star Wars tonight, the one with the rancor pit in it.
It's interesting that exactly 5 years ago today, Loc Taal announced Cheshire, Jmanski and me as Moderators here.

Thank you! I feel there are several others here just as interested and dedicated to Star Wars D6 in this community. I'm in great company here.

Thank you! Bless you, my loyal subject. LOL.

More of a benevolent supreme chancellor than emperor.

Most kind.

And we begin down the slippery slope...

LOL, Naaman. I have a couple GM friends I'll have to share that with.

Yes, I can add new ranks. If you have any suggestions for what's above Grand Moff |
IMO, garhkal and Hellcat should probably have some input, as well. |
Absolutely. But let's table this discussion for now as I have more pressing matters to address such as devising and posting updated site posting guidelines, and cleaning up all the announcements and sticky threads to make things less busy and more streamlined.
Likewise, I ask that everyone please hold off on suggesting/requesting technical upgrades to forum functionality as these things would be down the road. I am a novice webmaster learning as I go. If there are any problems with using the site as you have been, please point them out, but otherwise let's just continue to function as we have been for now. I have a family, day job and other time commitments, so change is slow. Thank you.

Wait... so I can't put in a request for that retinal scan at a login instead of my password? Dangit. I could swear that there's an easy plugin for that.

Just lurking here, but have been for YEARS. Glad to see the site isn't going anywhere, this site is important to keep around, as d6 is one of the greatest rpg's of all time, and the writing about it here can't just vanish into the ether. Even though I barely play the game, every now and then I still pick it up and when I do, one of my first stops is this site. You all are doing the Lord's work.
