hey folks, i got some news! let me reminisce a bit first though.
its weird to think that in 2013 I found PS from a youtuber's video on the ubers ladder and it brought me all the way here. i joined the related PS room and posted nonsense like everyone else and it wasn't so long after that i got roomvoiced and joined the forums. looking for a clear way to contribute to the community, i figured i'd get good at writing analyses for shitmons - i could improve my writing and lessen the load on the experienced contributors. i still find it hard to believe 2013 was 7 years ago. from my early days in the PS room, to my first UPLs on the drizzlers, to my time as ubers leader and everything inbetween, ive had a pretty fun and very interesting time to say the least.
ubers has come a long way since i joined. when i joined we were once a highly censored community unable to discuss anything related to the overall tier - asking about bans got you muted or infracted. i'd like to think that over the time i've been around as a random, badgeholder, moderator and leader, i helped to push new ideals and let folks have a real say in ubers, the tier. its been a long road filled with challenges, but i think we're in a pretty good spot in the grand scheme of things. we have elevated standards for action, and are able to take complex actions that would be deemed insanity in other tiers to stay true to the original spirit. time can always change us though, and im curious to see what happens next.
if you haven't guessed already though, it won't be me that takes you there. the same fire i had for wanting to contribute to everything ubers and change the overall state of things has been dimmed by other commitments, and my lower activity is going to become a hindrance to the progress of ubers. its better to leave on a high note on my own terms, so for the sake of something i've put all this time into, it's time for me to pass the torch to some new blood and let them continue where i left off.
i'll still exist as a shadow, but i'm retiring from all my active responsibilities. replacing me will be the duo of TonyFlygon and Icemaster. between them they bring the energy and knowledge that Ubers needs to continue on, and i hope you welcome and support them as they lead ubers towards bigger things. i'll leave you with the updated team i was most known for in oras - to the glorious future.
shoutouts would end up being lengthy and id have no idea where to go with them, so instead i'll say to all of you - thanks for having me. see you around!
