Hopefully have a new owner soon...

Hi guys.

Just letting you know I'm in discussion with a couple of interested parties to take over The Den. There's three very interested parties, all of which are much more into WoW than I have been in a long time, two of which own other WoW websites.

I'm really hoping to find you guys someone who will not only keep the site to it's current high level, but also improve upon it and really make it fantastic.

I've noticed the numbers of people using the site have dropped off a bit since my announcement. Please don't stop coming here because of that. I'm still here and around keeping an eye on everything, and I'm sure who ever takes over will do a fantastic job!

And hey... if you all hang round lots, I might even post a few photos as a parting gift.

Sweet! A parting gift! Too bad it's a 'parting' gift though. The new owner will have very big shoes to fill indeed. Warlocks are a very finicky lot, and we have big axe-toting demons to deal with people who upset us.

Re: Hopefully have a new owner soon...

Hehe. Well, one of the interested parties has asked if I would be willing to stick around for a bit, which I have agreed to. And no matter who takes it over, I'll still be around some place or another. I just won't be the evil admin with the lead plated *** kicking boots anymore. :p

Though I feel that the quality and activity on the forum has almost increase (but I may be wrong and confused, what do I know?) and I gotta say that no matter how things will turn out, I'm sure The Den will last a long time, thanks to your great work.

So as a precaution to Akasha's announcement of probable photos i have purchased a new monitor just in case my old one blows up.... The den has been a awesome place over the past few years find someone to keep it as awesome. Thank you for this amazing place Akasha and I'll miss ya. (But not the Lead lined boots )

Your breaking my heart, Akasha. This place will never be the same with someone else at the helm. I really enjoy the continuity of having the same members and leadership around (no offense to the newbies here, I like you too don't worry ), but it sucks seeing people kinda fade away or move on to other things such as yourself. I know that next year at this time I will be gone as well, because when my family moves here to be with me, I will be focusing on them and not WoW anymore. I wish you the best, make sure you stop by from time to time and say hi to us "regulars". Unless of course, you change your mind and decide to stay...*shows off those big blue eyes to Akasha*...

Re: Hopefully have a new owner soon...

yes, this is sad news indeed.

but i understand of course with a new baby and everything, this site has not so much precedence.

but i just wanted to say thank you akasha for all your help and work in maintaining this wonderful site (the only wow site i visit regularly, or at all for that matter)

i sincerely hope that whoever takes over will continue in the same tradition.

best

Re: Hopefully have a new owner soon...

I have to admit I am visiting Warlock's Den less frequently since the news. The uncertainty over leadership and therefore the longevity of the site is what makes me less interested and involved.

Part of it is that Akasha isn't around, but the other larger part is what is the leadership I am not saying that anyone is doing anything bad, but just saying this is why I (and maybe some others) are feeling less interested and participatory. I will still log on and try to participate where I can, but just less so.

I would also appreciate that any personal information from donating to the site is deleted from records before being given to a 3rd party taking over the site whom I do not know.
