It's kind of silly I've been compelled to say this, but members of the BotB admin staff have come to me with concerns regarding disinformation about who's in charge around here. 🤣
Come this May, Battle of the Bits will turn 17 years old. I've been in charge this whole time. If I had anything in my life I could call my own child it is this very website. And this website would not continue to be developed if it was not for the community that populates it. There has always been a chicken-and-egg type scenario here.
I am much indebted to the volunteer BotB Admin team (leftenants on the discord) for not only being eyeballs on site activity but also acting as an insulation barrier between myself and the folly of n00bs. This allows me to focus what energy I have on maintaining the site and working on improvements. Big ups to the discord mods who deal with problematic situations too! <3
That being said, I am the only one with access to the server and source code. No major battles or new formats get created unless I do it. That's just the way its always been. Doesn't mean it will always be that way. This website is a long term hobby and it wouldn't be fair to myself or the community (speaking from experience) to try making it my full time job. My career and future are currently in flux, and I literally can not afford to give much more attention here than I am already. I can't respond to every request or idea. All I can do is my best to keep most of the people happy most of the time. :D
It gives me great joy to see the community continue to thrive. I think all I've ever wanted for Battle of the Bits was to be a relaxed and fun place for people to hang out, make art and influence each other to try new things. Thanks to all who mentor n00bs to be better artists and people!
ALL N00BZ!!!
