fantastic

While the recognition rank rework is still being discussed, the Board came to an agreement that LGs should no longer have admin privileges anywhere on our platforms, including the forums and the servers. The reasoning behind this change is quoted below: If an LG or anyone in a recognition rank would like to receive admin powers again, they will be asked to make a standard admin application so that their activity and other factors can be checked. Thanks for your understanding; if any LG has concerns over this, you're more than welcome to share your thoughts via PM to anyone on the Board.

The winners have been announced over at Gamebanana. Congratulations to the mappers who won!

Good evening everyone, Today we have some fantastic promotions to announce! Please play this soundtrack in the background to go along with this exciting thread: . To start off these promotions, could we please get a round of applause for our newest Events Team members Poke and drippy! These two gentlemen have been bringing quite a lot of excitement to our community and we're excited to see them continue bringing hype into our community in their new role. *applause* Next on our list, some new Community Advisors! With SG moving swiftly with new projects we need a team of bright individuals with fresh ideas, and who better to add than Arctic and benzene! We've seen a lot of promise out of these two individuals as admins, and we're excited to see what they'll bring to the table as our newest CAs. *applause* With so many talented community advisors on the team, we'd also like to introduce a new Lead Advisor to the team to steer the CA ship in the right direction. It was a tough decision given the hard-working individuals already in the rank, but with this person's experience and skillset as a cool-headed leader, we're confident that they'll do well as LA. Kieran will be co-managing the CAs with Gentoo! *applause* Lastly, the moment you've all been waiting for. Our newest Internal Affairs member has been hard at work for months now spearheading multiple efforts within the community and proving himself to be a hard worker and critical thinker. Please welcome Trazz as your newest Internal Affairs member! *applause* Congratulations everyone! We're always looking to bring people onto our teams - take a look at our positions here.

Congratulations!!

Been a long time in this community and I'm happy to have made it this far. I wouldn't be here without the support of everyone in the community to give me critical feedback which improved me as a member of this community as well as made me a better person IRL. I've learned so much stuff over the ~5 years I've been here. I still remember last year when I was two months into A and wanted to ask for an early promotion to SA so I could apply for CA. I reached out to @Nishok about whether or not I should bother asking, and he gave me one piece of advice: "you never know unless you ask". So I did, and I got turned down LOL. But this piece of advice was actually really key in getting me through the ranks as time went on. I applied for CA and got it, AT 3 months later, IA 4 months later, and 3 months later: BD. The worst thing someone can say is "no", but the best thing they can say besides "yes" is "no, but here's what you can improve to turn that into a yes". Feedback is so important so that you can spend your time in staff growing as opposed to blindly trying to reach a position you want so you can enact the change you want to see. It's why I reached out to CAs and ATs as AM with feedback, and why my door is still open anytime anyone in the community wants to talk about their path in SG and what they hope to accomplish. A few mentions as well. @eXtr3m3 and @Dominic , you guys are real ones. Since day 1 of CA (and even A/SA) both of you had my back by nudging me in the right direction and not being afraid to give feedback when I need it. Even though I'm BD now I'm still looking to both of you for advice and opinions . @idealist , you and I never got along well at the start but as time went on I think both of us grew respect for one another which I've grown to appreciate. Even today you didn't hesitate to share your opinion on something. I don't think we'll ever agree on everything, but your harsh (but often true) criticisms have been a major factor in getting me to where and who I am today. @Nishok and @Liam Brown, both of you gave me a shot at TT and offered great advice even when I asked dumb questions. Enabling me to contribute in the way I know best (front-end) has helped me avoid burnout and given me something to toy on in my spare time. Hope to see our latest endeavours come to fruition soon ;). I definitely missed a ton of people above, but you guys and gals know who you are. My last piece of advice: Caution said many years ago in some fossilized forum post that many people look at BDs and think they can do a better job. It's just one of the things that comes with a leadership position and is unavoidable. But what is avoidable is how you use that feedback or opinion you have. I talked about my door always being open above, and I mean it. I or the Board might make a decision you're not happy with and that's fine, but let us know!!! At the end of the day we're in this community together, and a community only works if we're open with one another. Thanks y'all EDIT: Also wanted to do a quick shoutout to @Gator . Miss us staying up for hours working on [REDACTED] . Thanks for your honest advice hope everything's well on your end.

Congratulations everyone!
