Black Six Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 It is time again for some staff changes. Fun for everyone!The sad: Ziko is taking a leave of absence for now. Thank you for your help!The happy: Sumiki is taking his place as our newest Forum Assistant! GSR is taking Sumiki's place as our newest Forum Mentor!Additionally, due to the lack of a steady stream of storyline-related information, we are disbanding the Reference Team. Current Reference staff will be transitioning to other staff positions or retiring. Toa Lhikan Hordika will be a Forum Assistant and LewaLew will be moving to the news team. In the future, the entire staff will contribute to reference activities on an as-needed basis.Please join me in thanking all these people for their hard work in supporting BZPower!

You see Sumiki, I'm actually that hitchhiker you passed by ten years ago on that stormy night, come to take my revenge by slowly crawling up the ranks behind you until I find the perfect moment to strike.Rather, what I mean to say is, congrats on becoming an FA! It's was the obvious choice - I mean, back when you got hired as an FM I was surprised since I thought you were already staff, which says a lot about how qualified you are. :PBest of luck to TLH and LewaLew in their new positions as well. I'm sure you guys'll do awesome. :)As for myself, it's an honor to join the staff, and I'm glad someone saw it coming, since I sure didn't. Looking forward to working with all of you, and looking forward to helping out BZP as a FM! Quote Hey: I'm not very active around BZP right now.

Ballom Nom Nom Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Well, I saw TLH's promotion earlier, but didn't realize that the entire reference team was being disbanded. Makes sense though.Congrats to Sumiki for moving on up, and to GSR as well! I'm sure you two will do great in your new positions. But, GSR, you need the special Forum Mentor newb banner still. ~B~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LewaLew Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 (edited) Looks like I'm the only one who didn't choose PHENOMENAL COSMIC FORUM ASSISTANT POWER. Congratulations to the others, though I'm sad to see the Reference Team go. Though there was no more story material, there was still work to do that many of us lacked non-Real Life free time to work on. Of course, now I get to work on something similar to my old position with KanohiJournal, before the magazine was closed down.Oh, yeah, and bye, Ziko. I wish you well.

GSR Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Oh, and I'm a bad person for forgetting this in the first place, so it gets its own post: many thanks to Ziko for his service to BZP over the years, and all the best to him wherever his post-staff travels take him, be it at BZP or elsewhere.

Gatanui Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 (edited) Out of any staff members, I wouldn't have expected Ziko to retire. This was definitely a surprise, but hopefully he'll return. Either way, it's been great having you on the staff, Ziko! I shall remember you as one of the most dedicated members we've had on the staff.Then Sumiki becoming an FA is confusing, to say the least. I guess I didn't expect you (or anyone, for that matter) to change your position this soon. Well, you do get to stay on the staff, so that's great and congrats! ^_^I wasn't expecting a new FM but still, I can't really say that GSR was a surprising choice. It does make sense and I do see GSR as fitting for that position. Congrats, GSR, and welcome to the staff and a special welcome to the FM team! :)TLH becoming a FA is two weeks old, but still, congrats. The Reference Team being disbanded was kind of bound to happen, though, but at least you and LL get to stay on the staff. That said, congrats to LL as well, and enjoy your News Reporter position! :)Anyway, the Reference team should be removed from the Active Member Color Legend on the forum index and such.-Gata Edited August 29, 2012 by Gatanui Quote - Gata Please don't use my avatar or signature without permission, thanks!

You'll make an awesome new Forum Mentor, and it's great to have you as part of the staff!I'm really surprised (and saddened) to see Ziko leave -- that guy is crazy with how much he reports and how much work he does on the staff, it'll be sad to see him go (but hopefully not for too long). I'm also slightly surprised to see Sumiki take his place...he seemed to fit nicely as an FM, but considering how active he is I'm sure he'll do great as an FA as well.Congrats to TLH and LewaLew as well! I'm sure you guys will be great. Personally I like how the RK team was dissolved, as you guys will be able to do things now.

Velox Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I love the fact that you people think we didn't have anything to do. Ah, the tragedy of condensed words and misunderstanding on the internet. What I meant was simply that there was less to do. Obviously the RKs did things -- the group would not have existed otherwise. I am merely pointing out that, with Bionicle gone and less to do, that I think it's a good idea that the RK group was dissolved. As there is less to do, now those few who are still active can partake more actively as staff on BZPower -- in your case, posting news. That's not to say that you won't ever do anything RK-related again; Black Six himself stated "In the future, the entire staff will contribute to reference activities on an as-needed basis" which I assume would be mostly former RKs (after all, they know the storyline best). All I was saying is that you guys can now be more active on the forums of BZPower, from a staff position. "Doing things" also refers to powers -- before you couldn't post news, and TLH couldn't close topics. Now you guys can "do [those] things" as you have been given that power.I simply didn't want to write that all out, but I guess I should've.
