Forum:Announcement regarding Dps04's Future on Shops

Hello everyone,

It’s Dps04 again! As we all know, some admins have been announcing their plans for resignation in the past few weeks. As such, I think it is appropriate time for me to announce MY future on the wiki and eventually, my plans of resignation as banker and administrator here on CP shops. I’ll try to keep my announcement succinct. (Though apparently it isn’t KD)

Banker
As you guys all know, I am technically the banker here on shops, and don’t worry, I have already added your salary (150WB$) for August. I’ll remain as banker here until September 1 2015, and I’ll try to have every bank account organized and archived before I resign. I’ll resign as banker immediately after I hand out the salary for September. If I were to choose, I personally think Slender is best fit for the job, as he has already been an admin here for some time, and I confident that he is familiar with the duties of a banker as he has been a good assistant banker of mine. However, in case you guys believe that the next banker should be chosen through democratic means, such as by holding a community vote, then feel free to do so. There is still plenty of time left until September 1, and I support every decision you guys make on choosing the next banker.

Administrator
Alright, let’s cut to the chase. After careful consideratiom, I have decided I will resign from adminship at the latest on 8 November 2015. I will tender my resignation with effect on the aforementioned date, and to other admins seeing this post: feel free to demote me on or after the above date in case I was absent from the wiki on 8 Nov due to personal reasons. Again, it is up to the community to decide whether a replacement is needed, not by me :P.

Moon Island

 * ''Note: If you are not affiliated with Moon Island, then feel free to ignore this section.

As per the Moon Island Constitution, when I resign, the chairman is the one who will manage the capital and its subregion. This includes all cities within the subregion. Since Typhoon Mall is located in Dancing Penguin City, the chairman of Moon Island thus also becomes the owner of Typhoon Mall and can edit the mall if he or she wants. However, I do hope I can reserve the right to edit Dancing Penguin City (and Typhoon Mall) after my resignation :P.

Why am I resigning?
Well, as far as I concerned, many admins who have resigned, or is planning to resign, have cited age as one of their major reasons for resignation. Well, I won’t mind telling you guys my age. I am 18 years old already, much older than many of you guys may think. So if CK considers himself to be an old man, then I might as well consider myself as a centenarian. Lol, I was joking only XD. Anyway, I am graduating from secondary school this year (I guess that’s equivalent to high school, but I am not sure) and starting my university life soon, so I guess it will be wise for me to squeeze in more time for my studies and thus reduce my responsibilities here on the wiki. In addition, aside of adding salary on a monthly basis and updating pins for my mall once every week or so, I honestly haven’t been doing much on the wiki and I certainly haven’t done much to my mall in the past few months. Thus, I believe it is better for me to pass the torch to someone more active and more suitable for the post than me.

Conclusion
Finally, I just want to make it clear that this announcement is only meant for announcing my plans for resignation. I will still visit and maybe even edit here regularly after resigning, and I will still be on IRC occasionally. Who knows? If you guys are lucky enough, there may even be a House of Fame 2015 by the end of the year! (in case you don’t know, the House of Fame is a donation event held annually by Dps04 where you can earn up to tens of thousands of wikibucks. Older users will know about this.) Needless to say, being an admin here has surely been an unforgettable experience for me. The only thing I felt regretful is, as an admin, I have been witnessing the decline of shops over the years. Shops used to be an energetic, active and popular place back in 2012 or 2013, and now it has almost become as dead as a doornail. But, as CK mentioned in his user page, I am reasonably confident that one day, the ship will be repaired by a bunch of talented sailors, and it will starting sailing ahead at full speed.

Feel free to leave comments on the talk page. Thanks everyone :)
