Hello everyone,
Without going into the long list of reasons and excuses, both Kaden and I are unable to keep up with the site in Admin and Mod capacities.
I think it is most fair to allow the site to be passed on to someone who wants to try their hand at being an Admin. Way back in the day (let's say 2002) I ran a really successful RP site that, when I had to step down as an Admin was passed on to one of the players. It ended up lasting for a couple more years, before the host site (Avidgamers) imploded. While Exodus doesn't have the same activity level that that site had, I do have faith in the ability of site transfers to turn out for the better.
So, what does this mean?
If you would like to be Admin, send me a PM on Tamrin or post in this thread. I will PM you the Admin account password, and you will at that point have full control over the site. This won't necessarily be first-come first-serve, but if no one claims within a week or two I will assume that no one wants the site. If that happens, I will stick everything into "Maintenance Mode." This will lock access to all boards and basically make everything inert without deleting anything. Exodus will more-or-less enter a time freeze, and if I ever have the time (or proper motivation) to restart the site (or find someone interested in picking the site up), it will be unlocked.
You don't have to send any kind of application to say why you're make a good site Admin. If you think you can do it, just say so. I know most people on the site to a fairly good degree and don't distrust any of you.
I do have one stipulation however: if you find that you aren't cut out for the job, please contact me by email (I will give it to the new Admin) and offer me the chance to check things out. I'm not sure if I'll stay on as a player, so I'll want to know about the site's situation. I'd request that under no circumstances (even if the site completely dies) that it be deleted: I'd much rather the admin account be passed back to me, and I will freeze it. I've deleted RP sites in the past and it's been a minor source of regret.
Thanks guys, and again, lemme know if you're interested!
