To start, I want to say... I never imagined this would ever end up happening. I never imagined a lot of great things that have happened throughout the years here on clraik happening... but they did.
Since the beginning, I've had dozens of members join our staff and help around the community. There have been odd times where my trust was broken, even before clraik while running and maintaining a forum for years. So I've kept certain positions reserved and, what I thought to be never shared!
Bat was different from the beginning. I could see the passion he put into his work. And usually this stuff fascinates me to a degree... but he kept on and on with this "hobby" and it inspired me to start putting more time towards clraik, the community. It wasn't just fascinating anymore, but interesting to the point where he ignited my motivation to continue building and giving attention to the forum. Many of you have seen the many changes we've had happen lately. The forum is standing at its best as of this post and Bat has played a tremendous part of to have that. Essentially, he showed me he is more than capable and deserving of this position.
In the last two years, we have had more forum upgrades, fixes, major modifications (for the better!) than any other time frame this forum has existed. His partnership has helped tremendously, especially since I've had my time limited with everything else going on in life.
Behind curtains, he's shown and shared personal projects I never even thought I'd see. Stuff that has never been accomplished since I started coming around and being a part of a Neopets forum in 2004.
Thank you for being a great partner, mentor, and best of all, friend.

All of this aside, I want to note that this does not change anything regarding our standards and regulations.
We are always looking to improve, whether that's by recruiting additional staff or not.
