Alright, a lot of promotions went down recently due to some losses of management, but I think we need to highlight the actual promotions that went down. All I have to say is congratulations to all of the users whom got a promotion. They aren't all listed for their changes yet, but I think you all should know the promotions that went down. Let's just get into this (Wither was promoted to Bureaucrat earlier and I think people already know this so he was not included).

~ Commander Ghost from Administrator to Bureaucrat

The man definitely deserved this in the end. Ghost was promoted back in March of 2017 by Ari to become a Chat Moderator. Ghost went from occupying a Chat Moderator position to Discussions Moderator when times were tough. He did rather well there and became even more active than me which made him the more active Discussions Moderator of us two. He then became an Administrator due to his efforts of helping the wiki on the RVR and such outside of his own position's abilities which made him qualified. The amount of work he has put in for our wiki has gotten him promoted to the Bureaucrat position. It was definitely well earned and I can honestly only applaud Ghost for toughing out his initial doubts and becoming such a great and prominent Staff member. I hope all of you feel the same way.

~ PlozAlcachaz from Discussions Moderator to Administrator

Looks like I get to talk about myself (won't be biased here or anything). I was promoted back in June of 2017 by Ari for my RVR activity. Despite only being on the wiki for activity in one month (as well as being reported a few times myself at the beginning), I got the position. I occupied the position of Discussions Moderator for about 11 months before I got promoted to Administrator. I must say personally that it is an honor to help such a great wiki and to have been given an opportunity like this. The original other three I was promoted with (one returned below) weren't exactly here anymore, but I guess my experience got me this role. I am looking forward to help bettering the wiki with the other staff that we have.

~ Gogeta46power from User to Discussions Moderator

Gogeta has been a user on the wiki for over two years when he made his first contribution and has become active since. From the time I've seen him, he was active most days and tried to contribute to the RVR in the ways he could. He was good at spotting rule violating comments and such while being a constant contributor. His promotion happened today as of May 7th, 2018. Considering his efforts to also help formulate a DBF YouTube channel and help out in ways he can, he has shown he is clearly responsible and cares for this wiki. His promotion is well earned.

~ Buff Dedede from User to Discussions Moderator

Buff Dedede/Batter isn't the most active, but he still has his experience and can likely help the wiki out again. He has shown he has interest in the Wiki again and will continue to help out in the ways he can. Considering Ari saw him as a prime candidate then promoted him back about June 6th or 7th of 2018, he already has experience similar to that of mine to show that he is good for repromotion in the position. He already knows how it works, so there are no problems on the other end.

~ Raiando from User to Chat Moderator

He was one of the prime candidates last time Chat Moderators were being considered, but he just lost out to Gold. However, he obviously got that chance to be one reimagined as he was promoted today as of May 7th, 2018 like Gogeta. He is constantly on chat and is a fairly mature user. He has been around for a long time and knows how to keep chat moving with a pace. Considering his overall nature, he's a good fit for the position.

Conclusion

All of the people promoted honestly deserved it (not being biased to myself again). With these promotions, hopefully the new additions and the users who were promoted to higher ranking statuses will help us recover the DBF. We've had a bit a rough period since early 2018 or so, but we can hopefully come back from it with these users who have tried to better it since. I can only wish them all the best of luck in their new positions and that they well make this place only have a better future. It may be sad when an old staff member takes their leave, but the new are the fresh faces we need to help better out path into the future. That is all.

P.S. Sebas, you are commended for your work for this site. We thank you gratefully for lending your time to assisting in making the wiki a better place.
