[Announcement] Change in Leadership

[Roy 10,832 / 0]

Hello, there have been significant changes in GFL’s leadership recently. I would like to briefly address them in this post, along with announcing additions to the directorate.

 

Recent Resignations
Some of you may be upset about the recent resignations but it is what we believe is best for GFL to move forward. I want to start with saying thank you to both @Shuruia and @Dano! You have both, over time, provided a lot to GFL. In recent times however there has been a decreasing amount of activity which has lead to this moment. 

 

Moving Forward
We have two members of the community who will be stepping up to fill the open positions. I want to welcome back both @Snoopy and @denros to the directorate. These two have both put a tremendous amount of time and energy into GFL and will be welcome additions to the directorate team. They have both been helping a lot since they stepped down and I believe it is time to make this official.

We look forward to these changes in leadership and believe we are taking a step forward in the right direction.

 

Thanks.

Welcome back @Snoopy and @denros Can't wait to work with you to and #MakeGFLGreatAgain.

Hi guys.

 

It’s certainly nice to be back but I’m sure you guys have a few questions as to why I came back so quickly after stepping down. You’re more than welcome to ask them and I will do my best to answer them. In short the directors team was split into 2 groups after I left leaving little communication between the team slowly affecting the rest of the higher ups which then in turn had an effect on GFL. With the unfortunate loss of two of our directors we’re left with me, Denros, Roy and Rick who know each other very well and talk quite a bit on a frequent basis. The aim of this is to seriously increase the communication and the efficiency of the director team which in turn should have a good effect on the rest of GFL. 

 

It’s going to take a little time to get used to the rank again but that’s not going to hinder my performance one bit. With coming back to the directors team obviously I’m not going to just be sitting around as that defeats the object of me returning to GFL. I intend to work a lot with the HIgher Ups team and improve the communication and transparency of GFL. This will involve:

• Working heavily with the CAs (old and new) to strengthen the team as well as teaching and guiding the new CAs
• Improving the communication with the HIgher Ups by getting to know them all a lot better and starting weekly meetings with the staff team
• Attempt to organize staff meetings
• Keeping the community up to date with what is happening behind the scenes with update posts just like this one
  • https://gflclan.com/forums/topic/12497-3-12-17-bi-monthly-division-and-staff-report-1/
• Increasing the staff presence on our servers

Hopefully we can see this as a positive step forward for GFL with bright things to come in the future. 

 

Just for those who don’t know me I’m Snoopy, or you can call me Connor as that’s my real name. I’ve been part of GFLs staff team for quite a long time. I started out in GFLs old TF2 server, climbing my way through the ranks from Server Admin, to Manager and finally to Division Leader. Me and my team brought our TF2 division back to life until the patch that everyone dreaded was released, “Meet Your Match” essentially killing any small TF2 communities off. Just before this happened I moved to the rank of Community Adviser to pursue a slightly different route in GFL which eventually led me to my Director position today. I was a Director previously at the beginning of this year but I had to step down for a bit due to work taking a massive toll on me since we had 2 people fired and 1 person left. Left me doing 50 hour weeks in a stressful sales environment aha. Fortunately I’m no longer doing that anymore.

Good to see you back as Director @Snoopy! I can tell you're going to do great things once again as a Director.

 

 

Good luck! ~Joel.

I am so happy to see that changes needed for the good of the community. I am very excited to work with both @Snoopy and @denros. They both have some ideas for GFL that will benefit us in the near future. Thank you both for returning. I am excited to see how this goes.

Welcome back, @Snoopy and @denros!  I'm glad you two are back once again.

You know that one time when dan has no complaints about two great people being added to the team? Seems weird but hey when has @denros not been a director if not higher ik he wanted to not be one, but ha he will always be one. Also @Snoopy I feel as though you resigning for the reasons you did may have infact made GFL better and stronger in the terms of realizing our wrong doing. And would you look at that no complaints from dan only seeing this as a positive? This is a brave new GFL adding two people who do things. I applaud GFL #10TIMESSTRONGERTHENEVERBEFORE.

Hahaha I don't know any of these people.
