    Hi Guys,

    I was hoping to avoid this thread, but there seems to be a lot of confusion spreading around the forums, so I think you deserve an explanation.

    As of tomorrow, the position of community manager (in the form it's been since January), is gone. There are various reasons for this, but I can't go into them. ;)

    This will cause a couple of small changes, the biggest being that Big N Buzz/Forum Friday will no longer happen each week, with the same going for YouBuzz Re:view. Wiki Wednesday is still up in the air to a certain extent.

    I am NOT leaving in the foreseeable future, and I haven't been fired. The job has simply been removed due to various factors - If you want the technical term, I've been made redundant. For those who don't know, being made redundant is when you lose your job not because you've messed up, but because the employer sadly can't employ you any more for one reason or another.

    Like I say, this shouldn't cause too much chaos, but that's an explanation of what's going on.

    Read the post! The position is no longer going to exist, and I DIDN'T get fired! If you want the technical term, I was made redundant.

    Ooh, OK. For those who don't know, being made redundant is when you lose your job not because you've messed up, but because the employer can't employ you any more for one reason or another.

    Thanks Maddud ;)

It doesn't even have to be a writer, just a forum member, they don't have to get payed...it could be a random forum member....maybe one that loves pokemon and has a passionate love for coldplay and has a name that starts with Aiv and ends with ant and has a nickname of A.......
