Hello my dearest friends,
It is with a heavy heart that I'm afraid I have to step down as manager as well, making me the third manager to step down as of lately. But not exactly for the same reasons. Me and the other managers, Eeems, Netham45 and Deep Thought, came at the conclusion that I am not able to keep up with the job of manager, due to various reasons, so we decided to make me step down. I'll still remain Coder of Tomorrow and operator on IRC and my activity probably won't decrease.
Hope you are okay with this, hope I'll help as much as I can with the site and that maybe, one day, I'll come back...
May the force be with you,
Juju
-
O_O I did not expect that, personally.
I hope things open up for you and you find yourself able to return to manager. ;)
-
wow, we are getting alot of staff changes...
-
OH noes. I will miss you as staff. :'(
edit: fixed stupid spelling error
-
Where did this come from?
I LITERRALY just asked juju if he was manager RIGHT as this popped up!
Sorry to see you step down D:
-
I think I'll miss myself as well, but oh well, that's life. I have to wish myself good luck for the future.
-
As said in private, we think you're an awesome guy and a valuable contributer to Omnimaga. We wouldn't be where we are if not for you. We hope you stay around for a good long time; we all respect you immensely.

Thank you Netham and the rest of the staff :)
aeTIos, same.
-
I was shocked at first since I didn't knew why and even more when I saw you weren't CoT either but I'm glad you're still CoT and that you are sticking around. I think sometimes it's best to focus on some other stuff for a while though. Thanks a lot for the work you have done as manager though and hopefully you stick around for another while.
Hopefully you can return to manager/admin eventually if you feel like it. Also remember that you were the first Omnimaga member to ever make it straight to Manager/admin without having to be CoT first O.O
-
so ninja managers dont count ;.; or was i moved after i cant remember?
-
Are you still manager Geek? IIRC In 2009 or 2010 I set you as one, but you were still kinda ARS because you were not active much yet. You had FTP access and stuff. Not sure if staff removed you, though.
All I know is that there will most likely be even more staff being removed (and replaced) because like 5 or 6 are no longer active since months ago. X.x
-
AFAIK you're still ninja manager?
Also, fun fact, I think I went by every usergroup on Omnimaga...
-
@juju i am still a ninja manager fear me and mah banhammer >:F
@dj and yeah probably. the managers and myself are talking that out and coming to what we deem the best continuation on the actions that we have started to undertake. it should work out for the better in the end. ^^

Actually you were regular member, then eventually ARS, then you went straight to manager without a CoT status. Afterward you got demoted to newser for like 30 minutes before becoming CoT :P

?????????
-
Not you too!
-
No! Juju! You were a great manager! Now there's like no one left...
-
Well there's Eeems, Netham45 and Deep right now. I think they're looking for a few more that are already staff and maybe a few more CoT but I'm unsure yet how long this will take.
-
Sry i didnt get to read the first page @ the time, but now Im aware. Posting on phone, just thought it was dramatic 2 see 3 managers step down that thought there were few ppl left. Hmm need to give it a Deep Thought. ;)
-
Don't worry, while we are thinning the ranks a little we are still planning on plumping them up again. We already have people in mind for it as well.
-
DJ, the image name is "almost crying" ;)
-
Noooooooooooooooooooooo!
Not Juju!!!
-
Don't worry though, as he's still staying around. Just one staff position below and most likely with the same activity. It's just that the staff is getting restructured based on the recent activity of each. For example Juju hardly did anymore site administration/news posting or didn,t participate well enough in moderation, but still had projects in the works and was very active, so he got moved to CoT. In Hot Dog case he wasn't doing admin stuff since last summer so he got moved to ARS. It just took a long while until the staff changes occurs, so they're all gonna occur at once. Also there isn't much need for that many ARS anymore, because the nDoom incident has been over for over a year, so all inactive ones that are no longer active as IRC channel op will be removed, while all CoT that didn,t post in over a month will be removed as well (except JustCause). Actually most of those CoT would have been removed long ago because the staff rules force CoT/managers to post a minimum of 10 times in the last 30 days, to maintain a certain level of activity.
So this is why you might see like 6-9 staff getting demoted or retiring within a few weeks. Of course in jimbauwens' case his departure is a different story, but the rest are mainly due to a long inactivity in their domain or as a whole.
Hopefully there are more managers again though because it would suck if there were only 3 to do all the work of fixing the site and stuff. X.x
-
Yet another one without enough time. :(
Good that you will still be active :D
-
At least now it gives Omnimaga a opportunity to restructure the staffing roles with new blood (currently active people). And it is tricky being consistently active, and all the former staff that have just stepped down have done a good job in their roles.
-
Y u step down? :(
Make me manager!/me runs
-
Depends BalancedFury, you've only been here about 6 months.
-
I think he was mostly kidding. :P
although ztrumpet was made a manager 5 months, 11 days after his join date. :P (http://ourl.ca/4645)
Depends BalancedFury, you've only been here about 6 months.
exactly 6 months. :D
-
At least juju will remain CoT
-
! it really is exactly 6 months
-
I wonder when they will decide? It should be soon.

exactly 6 months. :D
Well back then I was still admin and I was online so often that I chatted with many of the members privately on a regular basis, so it got easier to know them, and with Ztrumpet I earned his trust really fast. With some other people it can take longer, though.
And yeah the trick is to really renew the staff so there is new blood and the list doesn't end up with mostly inactive staff with the time. It's also good that the team has some great projects as well, so it encourages regular members to also code too.
-
As mentioned earlier, hope things free up so you could come back soon lol
-
Sad to see you step down Juju :(
-
Yeah..
2 managers leaving in the same month :(
-
Yeah..
2 managers leaving in the same month :(
in the same day*
Yeah this is pretty sad.
And yeah I agree, the staff should renew its blood often.
-
Yea but still :P
Who are the 2 temporary managers?
-
Um, so we haven't actually decided yet?
Also some of the more inactive CoT and ARS should be reviewed or something.
-
AFAIK nothing has been decided yet, but more changes in the staff should come soon.
-
I just hope it doesn't take like 4 months like usual though, so it's not too late when staff is renewed x.x
-
It takes that long?
Oh wow.
But it seems ok right now I think, just a few less managers.
O.O

She hasn't been active for a while
-
Yeah, DJ_O and myself suggested a lot of times taking down several of the inactive staff, but I think nobody really did anything... It went pretty fast when we elected Deep Thought though.
-
Wow, this is a bit of a surprise! O_O Glad you're still going to be around though Juju. =)
