OK children its time, for as the title says, some heavy shit.
As of today I learned that the online university courses I take in between my job and taking care of real life stuff is on the chopping block. The university is currently holding it as the prime candidate for dropping during the next fiscal cut-back. Due to being nowhere close to the university or any other that teaches the classes I am currently taking this means I and any other students in such a position will simply be dropped from the course, completely negating the second half-credit of work we have done. And due to the nature of most of these courses I would have to take the whole thing just to get the second half-credit if I ever went back to finish in the future.
I have roughly 2 weeks at minimum to 4 weeks at maximum depending on how quickly they can arrange to make the cut.
Obviously I am having a bad day and have uttered many oaths at the heavens. This is also clearly a bad thing for BS in general considering how we are currently organized with me essentially running everything. I may love BS but this is real life and if I can pass these courses and get my masters I will be able to put myself in a much better financial position in life. In the end it is sadly no contest. This of course does not mean I will be gone or leaving forever but for these next few weeks I will be essentially grinding these courses. Doing work thats meant to be done over months in just a handful of weeks.
So to get through this Zhiel is taking my position for the next few weeks. I would also like volunteers for moderator aid, obviously I will only be picking one or two of you and they will likely be one of our longer standing members. I would choose who I think would do best but first lets make sure your willing without being pressured when I ask. These individuals will be there to make sure things keep rolling, they may also be allowed to approve the training posts which are building up however Zhiel will retain the right along to approve profiles. Normally I would simply have tried to do this work in what little free time I could find even when I got into a busy point like this but this isn't just busy, my future depends on finishing these courses, but at the same time BS has become extremely busy this past month and clearly I'm going to need help keeping the site active if I'm not here to make sure new members get attended to.
So make your offer now, assuming we don't get 10000 members tomorrow this will probably be the only time I'll be appointing mods, however the positions will be permanent so long as you remain at BS.
I'm sorry for the abrupt and sudden warning, but trust me, it was a far harsher smack to the head for me.
Good luck.

P.S: I will try to keep the main arc moving in my spare time, but thats likely all I'll have time for. All “personal” RP's involving me I'm sad to say will have to be put on hiatus.
