To our Shic fam,
This is an announcement that we had hoped we’d never have to post but sadly the time has come for some of us to say goodbye. This letter is from MB and 3 mods, ᗷᗩᕲᕼᓰᘻᗩᘉSᕼᑘ Medvrich & Smerbielocks
We know this is long but things need to be addressed so please read it all.
I (MB) have poured my heart and soul into Shic for the last 18 months but as things currently stand I can no longer continue in my position as team leader and will be stepping down as will the 3 above mods.
I’ve tried to write this so many times, as you all know I’m never stuck for words but I’ve struggled to write what I know we need to say.
I never expected to find myself in this role but took a leap of faith when the owner and original dev left and unexpectedly handed the project over to Hans and I. We were faced with a choice to either close it all down or try and build Shic into something we believed in. We chose to move forward but it’s been a long and hard process to try and get everything moved over and under our control.
I am not a dev, I am and have always been a Community Manager which is where I thrive and succeed and love doing. I’ve been asked by multiple projects to get involved and help after seeing my work and see how many of the community follow me wherever I go.
I want to make it clear though that offers of work are not why I’m leaving Shic.
In my time as team leader I’ve been involved with many things behind the scenes which a lot of you don’t know or see but it’s been a lot of work and quite frankly I’m exhausted.
Unfortunately there has been no dev work for a very long time now and despite myself and the mods trying to push things along, our questions and requests have been met with silence. There is so much I wanted to do and achieve, my ideas are endless but my and our hands are completely tied.
I have been approached by so many projects and asked about collabs and promotions but sadly my efforts to discuss these opportunities within Shic has had little to no response and those opportunities which would have been amazing have been lost.
We had a dev wanting to help build Shic resources yet despite asking for access to systems for work being done and access promised, it again has been met with silence for months. This dev has now decided to dump all they had been working on despite him and MB communicating, because again he has no access to anything and neither do we.
The mods and I have kept working quietly behind the scenes to do what was needed, new branding which we were waiting to launch, creating and building social media teams, voting platforms, exposure and promotions but again this has been all a wasted effort when we can’t get a basic reply to things we need or promised items never delivered.
