Howdy Uranium fans,
I find myself in a slightly emotional state as I look back on the days that lead to this point. Starting as a fan like many others, I joined the pokemonuranium.com forum to share my experience with the game and offer help to those who were having trouble. After sending a private message to Twitch regarding the sudden surge of traffic and my years of experience with Forum boards and moderation, I was made a mod working under Iron. I can't remember the last time I had been so excited, I was a small part of a truly incredible project that I was passionate about not as a professional, but as a player, Twitch and Iron gave me the opportunity to be both.
Fast forward to Today and I celebrate my two year anniversary as Pokemon Uranium's Community Manager, rebuilding the forum from scratch, communicating with thousands of fans from across the globe not unlike myself, I've sat down with major tech journalist for interviews, spent months spreading the word that the project didn't die, it just joined a new Daycare. I have heard stories about how this game has saved lives, about how people found there partners and formed a romantic relationship and only found each other because they were both part of the fandom, I've heard stories about how this game helped people stay on the straight and narrow as they were in rehab fighting addiction but most importantly I have heard stories about how happy and how excited people were about Uranium and I hope JV and Twitch are just as proud of making it that I am just working for it.
So welcome, my friends, to year two of the Uranium forum 2.0, the domain has been renewed for another year, and it has been a fantastic journey interacting with all of you. This Forum only exists because of the people who post and communicate here. A forum without a community is a ghost board that serves no purpose, a purpose that no Administrator, Moderator or Coordinator can fill. Rest assured that in order to do our jobs, we rely on you to give us the purpose to do so.
There are a million and one people I wish to thank for bringing us to this point but I'll try to keep this short and sweet, please know that even if you were not mentioned, your contribution to making this website a better place has not been disregarded and I am deeply appreciative of you being here with us.
@Iron Well, what can I say? When we spoke for the first time could you have guessed that this is where we would have ended up? Had someone told me that this is what would happen I probably would have laughed in their face. Regardless, an endless amount of thanks goes out to you for coming back and tackling this with me. Your actions, words and constant support have been paramount in keeping this place in working order. It has been an honor and a privilege working with you.
@Polaris Of course who could forget the person who modded alongside me on the old Forum. It was a joy hearing from you after you found us again and your work speaks for itself. Not only are you an extraordinary Mod but a talented artist which was desperately needed. Thank you for being here!
@PhantomUnderYourDesk and @Lord Windos So how should you two be addressed? King and Queen? Joker and the Thief? Salt and Pepper? Mustard and Ketchup? Abbot and Costello? Bonnie and Clyde? In any case, your continued and active presence have been a major part of keeping this forum alive, your kindness and eagerness to participate has been key to the long-time success of our community. It has been a pleasure working with you both to ensure that we create an inclusive, safe and most importantly welcoming environment for users both new and old, thank you for your continued suggestions and feedback. (Also, I don't mean to brag and I don't wanna say I fostered the OTP, but I kinda made the environment and kept things ship shape so... do I get credit? Yeah? Do I? Hm? No? Okay...)
@Dragonstrike How could I not mention you with that post count rivaling Wine and Cheese up there? Though there are many things I could bring up regarding your contributions, the one that meant the most to me, the one I'm most appreciative of is your willingness to work with me when times were tough through no fault of your own. I appreciate the openness and maturity it took to find a positive solution for both parties and I thank you for it.
So without further adieu, allow me to welcome you all into Season 2 of the Uranium Forum, as always if you have any suggestions, comments or concerns, or spot a bug in the system please contact me or leave a post in the proper forum. I hope to see you all in 2019.
With thanks,
Cody
