[Tibit]

Just posting a quick notice before I head to the airport.

First, Happy Anniversary to The Empire, it will be 1 year old on August 7th.

Second, as mentioned in my HF News interview for this week's edition, I am retiring as owner of The Empire and giving it away for free to xadamxk to take run. I will transfer ownership to him sometime after my vacation once he's ready. It's never been done with a paid group, but I believe it's better to have the group continue to run with the many friendships it's created over time and continue to be a place of strong community on the site instead of being greedy and selling it for a quick buck.

Upon my return from my vacation I won't be nearly as active as I have been over the last year as I don't have a much free time as I used to.

The Empire will remain the same for the most part, same gfx, info, etc. The only main difference is it will be xadamxk's group instead of mine. For more specifics feel free to read my interview here: https://hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=3658721

I've send Omniscient a PM to change xadamxk to moderator of The Empire. Glad to have had the opportunity to run the group for a year and I wish Adam luck in continuing it.

Sounds pretty good. Good work Empire! Sad that you're leaving :/

Have a good trip, Tibit.
The group will once again be in good hands!

[Leмon]

Congratulations on one year! It's a great achievement.

['Cody]

Congratulations on the 1 year but the group will surely be renamed to iEmpire when it's transferred over to Adam.

['Snorlax]

So xadamx will be able to sell and change the group whenever he wants, or will you still be owner?

Technically he would, but I'm positive he won't.
Tibit is transfering ownership (which means he will not own The Empire anymore) to xadamxk.

1 year that's quite an achievement. Hope to see more from Empire!

[Сharizard]

Congratz to xadamx! How long is your vacation ban? I know you cannot tell me, but can someone else?

[Plunder]

You're a great guy, tibit. Won't be forgotten.

[Tom`]

Hopefully Adam will do us all proud.

It's crazy to think that the Empire will turn one in just a few days. I joined about a month or so after its release date, and I can't believe how time has flied.

Will full ownership be transferred, or just moderating powers inside of the sub-forum?

[Flaaffy]

Dayum Tibit, that is one hell of a move. Congratulations this kinda shows just how dedicated you are to be able to transfer the group you worked so hard on for free!

As of now, just moderation powers.
Which were actually just transferred.

congratulations bro! cant wait to see your plans for the future

I am sure Adam will do a great job with the group. I despise change but, somehow I feel confortable with this one.

Good Luck Tibit.

I've talked 2 adam once and I've gotta say this is very nice so im very sure it's for the best good luck on your vacation Tibs and best of luck on the group Adam.

- on iPhone not easy to type

[Wonders]

Have a lovely trip, Tibit and best of luck to Adam in his new position.

I've left the group though, it was a good few months and this change had nothing to do with my leaving.
