Hello Ambrosians!
We've got a big announcement coming up! Unfortunately it won't be a good one for some Members. We were dragging on for around 2 years a sucessful project. Project lead by joy and passion. However it have seemed to wore out. Our servers were yawning empty, forums silent more than ever and we were sort of sitting still waiting as the time to tick and bomb to finally explode.
And when the things started to really go downfall it's the moment we realised we can't do this anymore and we need a change. What is planned to do is -
Complete restart of Ambrosia Community. And yes by that I mean complete.
The community needs a fresh restart as currently it's not working out. There will be numerous steps, or phases if you will, that will be going through the Ambrosia for the upcoming months. Before we'll actually get to describe them detailed, here's a list of the actions that will be undergoing.
_______________
//Step 1: Servers reductionA step we really are forced into comitting. The current amount of servers is unmanagable to make each and every single one working optimally. We will be reducing the amount of servers by quite a huge margin. To be specific: Gungame, Headshot, Zombie, Deathrun and Multimod will be gone. Sadly as I mentioned, this step had to be done and we can't move on without it. We will focus on the other remaining servers as hard as we can to make them perfect. But don't shred tears, once we're done with the remaining servers and we find them strong and good enough we certainly will be extending the servers list so stick with us!
//Step 2: High-staff team position changesIn the recent events we have realised our high-staff team is not working as a well oiled machine anymore. Once it used to, but it seems like the time has given us a harsh hit. Sadly we have to part our paths with fellow people. We want to thank Stevko for his effort that will never be forgotten and we wish him to be back as soon as possible as he had to be removed due to inactivity.
Following the server removal, sadly we are forced into removal of certain head admins. We want to say each and every HA removed is being removed due to the server list changes. We all were happy with the work and effort they have brought up. If the servers could stay we would surely have left them in the spot. We are terribly sorry and announcing this brings manly tears in my eyes as these guys putted up a lot of effort on improving the servers and none of them deserved to lose the position.
Members loosing their position -
- Stevko - Universe Creator
- Next - Multimod
- terrabon - Deathrun
- redshift - Gungame
Please note these changes are not final - There might be some big changes upcoming in the future. These are just the current ones we that will be taking place right now.
HEAD ADMINS PLEASE PAY ATTENTION: We know this must be a painful day to be an Ambrosian head admin of a removed server. However we didn't just screw you over, we wish each and every head admin and former head admin to pay attention to the Headadmin board to discuss certain matters - you will still have temporary acess there untill our roster gets completely stabilized, please stay in touch with us!
//Step 3: New position announcementWe will be bringing up new position to the daylight. We have a new position coming up named -Assistant head admin. Assistant's head admin's job will be to take care of the servers whilst the actual head admin is gone. They also will have the same privillegues as the actual head admin just with one exception - the actual head admin has rights to cancel his partners decision - which hopefuly won't be necessary with good communication anyways
With this position we are directly trying to improve the quality of our servers and take care of them alot more than we used to so you will be able to see alot of improvements, alot of suggestions and issues being solved faster and server being a lot more joyful to play on overall.
We will be promoting the actual Ast. Headadmins in near future. For the very moment there aren't any assigned just yet.
//Step 4: Complete admin team re-assignmentDon't panic, this doesn't mean we're going nuts and removing each and every admin from our community. What we will be doing, as we are looking for a fresh start we do not want any inactive admins in our staff team. We will be doing a gigantic activity of our entire admin team shortly so make sure to pay close attention to the forums. If you declared inactivity for certain peiod don't worry, we will be checking that board aswell as long as the reason is justified.
The activity check will be done via a topic on forums where we will ask each and every admin to post in it respectively. We know this is a harsh check but if we want to get the Community running again we will have to wipe out all the not-working factors for fully working and massively growing community.
//Step 5: Alot of upgradesOf course this doesn't mean that we just wiped out factors holding our community back and we will be doing nothing. Don't be mistaken. The only reason why are doing this is we need to completely re-build the community from ashes to make it functional again. From the very roots, from the very today it's going to be new Ambrosia. The changes will come slow but we will be looking to be as profiting as in starting days and do what we should have done a long while ago. We, high staff basically rely on you guys - you are the backbone of our community. We would be nothing without our fellow members and I have to confess we haven't been doing enough lately to comfort you. We will surely be looking to improve alot. We will be adding new servers, possibly even new games once we're done with the main Counterstrike servers. There's really alot to look forward to. We will be bringing also some cancelled / unfinnished projects out of dust that have been forced off with the recent events, looking to pick up on them again and make the community better place.
_______________
To sum it up: Well, as you can see we are going from 0. From nothing. This time around we don't want to let you guys down and make the community better than it used to before. I know majority of you will not enjoy these changes at first but they were necessary. It's for the future because if we kept on we would slowly but surely die. Now since we have fresh grounds and everything ahead of us we want to make the community even bigger and better. We will be planning cool stuff and there's certainly alot to look forward to - so stay in touch. We appeciate every one who even stayed with us and honestly we can be happy you are still here as we didn't deserve you to be with us with our past approach to the community. We are aware of our failures, but let's throw the past behind us and look forward to the future. As I said, there's alot to look forward to, let's make this thing a Number 1 again - However now stronger, better, bigger than ever! We from highstaff are sure we can! Let's do it guys, Let's do it together! - We can't wait to get things underway!
