Under New Ownership
Hey there, everyone!
Per the news post, here's the thread to talk about Alacrity's new ownership!
What's appropriate for this thread: • Questions • Discussion and/or polite debate • Support for our new team members • Concerns you want addressed about the new ownership of Alacrity
What's not appropriate for this thread: • Discussions not pertaining to Alacrity's new ownership • Flaming or Trolling • Conduct not pursuant to Alacrity's Rules and TOS
<33
To answer a few questions that have been repeatedly asked:
No, Robyn is not leaving. She will remain as a coder/programmer for Ala.
The art will remain the same. Yay!
Henry is the name of Ala's owner, but he does not have an account here. It is not certain if he will create one in the future.

The admins, who play the game and read your suggestions and all that, bring them up to the owner if there is enough support and we feel it'd be good to implement.

Yeah the "not being involved" part does worry me, too, because, who makes the decisions, really, of the owner does not know the community?

Thank you very much for clearing everything up! ♥<br /> <br /> I'm a little wary of having an owner who is not involved with the community. That seems to be the only qualm I have, otherwise I'm so excited! :) It's great to so Ala taking steps forward. I have my faith in Robyn and the admin team. It will be great for the bugs to be fixed and for new features to be brought in.<br />

To start with, Rob hasn't been reduced to coder, Rob's always been into coding sites. She does it for sites outside of Alacrity, this is a position she wants to be in and considers it a way to be apart of Ala without the job of running it.<br /> <br /> Darkiss: This isn't foopets or any other site. There are some people who like to run businesses, they see potential in places and help to cultivate it to the best of it's abilities. Henry is one of those people, he sees that Alacrity is a great place and he doesn't want to change that, he just wants to fix problems and add more exciting features that everyone will enjoy.<br /> <br /> It's okay to be nervous, but try to come into this with a fresh start. We're a different site with a different sort of attitude, and Rob would never sell the site to someone who was going to mess with the core of what Alacrity is. You can bet that this guy is near as awesome as she is. :3

Correct, Nals. :)<br /> <p>Right now, I feel like this Henry person who owns Ala now is some big, ominous figure because he hasn't said anything. And we don't know anything about him. Hah. xD<br /> <br /> I'm just happy that Ala will stay the same. I told Rob back in the day that if she ever sold Ala, I'd go to her house and smack her one, but that's when she thought she'd never sell Ala. But you know, things change. Life changes, and I'm just thankful that Rob is still here, working behind-the-scences, and that she was so considerate and thoughtful to make sure Ala landed in the right hands: to someone who wants Ala to be as it is. :)
Let me get this straight: Rob has been reduced to a coder, and this new person, Jeremy, is also a coder but not the owner, and the original owner whose name is Henry supports the site *well, he owns it, right?* as much as he can, but doesn't interfere with Ala's traditions?<br /> <br /> ...so long as Ala stays the same, I won't be bugged. :)
