Hello! On behalf of all staff, Hope and I would like to announce some big changes!
It’s taken a while but we’re happy where we are currently at and look forward to what these changes bring.

First, our new additions!

Moderators
@Papaya and @elysian
We’ve welcomed Papaya and Elysian back as our moderators! They were both amazing when they served as moderators before and we’re glad to have roped them back into this work with them again.

Staff in Training
@tulle
Tulle is a ray of sunshine and their bottomless enthusiasm brushes off on everyone. They’ve put a lot of effort into the forum since the day they arrived on our doorstep and we really look forward to seeing what additional steps they take to bring their cheer to all of you.

Chat Moderator
@Shade.
Shade has been a fantastic friend and engaging, active member of our Discord server for such a long time and they always seem to have the perfect response, whether it’s motivating others or a well-timed snarky joke in classic Shade fashion. They might deny it but their love for the community can be felt from miles away, and we’re happy to be working with them now.

Very big congratulations to these members for their outstanding love for WCO. Please wish them well on their journey ahead!

Now, along with our new team we have a few other announcements to make. Staff has been doing the Shuffle in our conference room for the past few months, and are finally confident enough with our dance moves to come out with a public performance.

Promotions!

Administrators
@hope
Hope has been an exemplary member of our staff team and an invaluable friend for many of us here on WCO. We congratulate her proudly on her promotion to Administrator. A quote from Hope on this promotion: “hope is a ver6 cool verybnice” : D

Discord Owner
@/implimm
It feels odd to announce myself but odder still to speak in third person about it! With many recent changes came one least of all expected, and the WCO Discord server has been placed in my care. I’ve always adored connecting with the community, and my peers do call me a comforting person to talk to, so I just hope to continue doing right by everyone and making the server a wonderful environment for the members of this community. I have also been invited to begin training as a forum Administrator, and look forward to that as well! Thank you all very much.

And now, to wrap things up with one final announcement...

Bill has died.

He has not died yet. Don’t celebrate. He’s half dead, and looking forward to taking care of his personal life now, and while he has agreed to step in when necessary, he has faith in this team to take care of everyone on this forum.

Cue the applause!
