After only having 2 people nominate themselves for the vote, myself and the admins have discussed with each other who we think would be a good choice for a new owner of 5punk.
In this case communism has won over (Vladimir approves), as we decided that Democracy doesn't always work well here at 5punk, and one of the candidates was actually our first choice before I publicly mentioned me stepping down from this role.
So without further ado , your new 5punky overlord is FatherJack.
FatherJack has sent me a number of ideas he has for 5punk, and I have ran them past the moderators as well, and we all agree that they sound very good, and go along the same lines and thinking of myself and the admins.
I hope you all wish him well in his new role as leader, and I will be around for a while to help hand stuff over as best I can.
Once this is done, I will step back (as leader) entirely and just visit the site when I get chance, and hopefully have more time to spend gaming with you lot
I'd like to point out that no money has changed hands for this as I know a few 5punkers felt this was wrong in some way (even though I could have quite easily taken the money and run).
However, if you would like to donate some spare cash to my paypal as a way of saying thank you for 5punk, then that would be gratefully appreciated, and I will keep a running tally of what's been donated below, so that you can see I'm not going to be able to retire in a mansion in Barcelona with the cash.
You can donate by visiting the donate pages, and clicking on the button under Woo Elephant Yeah's 5punk.co.uk hosting donations or if you are clever enough to do it yourself, the e-mail is chrisandsam@gmail.com
Donations so far : £120
My time here at 5punk has been great, and I still cannot believe what I managed to achieve, none of which would have been possible without the continuous help of Stoat, and his mad "coding skills" and suggestions.
I can't mention everyone, but I'd like to thank all of you for helping to make 5punk what it is, and long may it continue. Some of the things 5punkers have done such as clubbing together to buy/send a toy to my baby daughter after she was born have really moved me, and I have laughed so hard some nights on teamspeak that I am almost in tears (I'm looking at you Roman/Bobbins).
Giving away 5punk has probably been one of the most worrying and hard things I have ever done, as I have put so much work into it over the years, and it's been an extremely difficult decision for me, but I'm sure it's the best one not only for myself, but for you lot as well.
Thank you 5punkers, it's been amazing!
