|quote=When we founded BMW in 2015, we had very little, actually 0, vision on what the group would become outside of just have a group that played Rust. If you’d told me then that BMW would go on to bully a blind Conservative radio show host, bully Bethesda into sending people canvas bags, and accidentally becoming a “Nazi” breeding ground, well, Id probably believed it because that does sound like some shit I’d get up to. Frankly the fact that we made it this far in as good a shape we have speaks wonders about our core members. | |||
Last May, after the fallout with the SA Discord, I found myself wondering if I still had the old Tay Touch ™. So, I began laying the groundwork for BMW to eventually be handed off to someone else. I spent the next 4 months getting BMW to the point where I felt we could declare victory via BMW 3.0. From there, it was all about vetting a successor. Almost immediately two candidates jumped to the front: Alex and Peaches. Both obviously are super dedicated to making BMW as great as it can be, and last month I decided it was time to finally hand over the reins of this shit wagon hurtling towards the abyss. | |||
So as of this Monday morning at 12AM, I will be officially quitting as leader of BMW, and putting Peaches and Alex in charge. | |||
This doesn’t mean I’m leaving BMW or dropping off the face of the Earth. Ill still be shit posting and calling you all losers, as well as doing the movie night because that’s pretty lit. However, in the coming months/year I will be branching out more into real life. I plan to finally finish the final two semesters of college and IDK MAYBE EVEN GO TO MED SCHOOL LIKE I ORIGINALLY PLANNED IDK MAN. | |||
I’m very glad to have met all of you and to have had the pleasure to run this group as long as I have. Being part of this group especially the past year or so has been the greatest pleasure of my long and gay internet career.I know I’ve made a few mistakes and some of y’all may even to this day deeply disagree with the choices I’ve made, but know I did everything I’ve done for the betterment of this group, and it shows. We have one of the more personably and friendly groups of tight knit friends I have ever encountered. Even people who have just recently joined have easily integrated in. I think that’s something we can all be proud of and its something I pray that only gets better with time. It does make me sad in a way to be stepping down, leading shitty gay internet groups has been my raison d’etre since 2012. However, in a lot of ways I think that’s been a scapegoat, hindering me from doing the more important things. | |||
To my replacements I would leave y’all this "wisdom": | |||
- Never allow cliques or ingroups to rule | |||
- Never allow your personal feelings to overrule what’s right for the group | |||
- Don’t be afraid to do or say something controversial if you think it’s right | |||
- Never Split The Group | |||
- Never allow the group to grow idle and stale | |||
To people reading this who are not exactly fans of mine, Id say to not let your feelings regarding Taylor Swift cloud your feelings for the group at large. I’m just one man, and as I’ve said for years and years, “BMW is more than one person”. This represents a true new direction for BMW. Don’t let petty indifference and squabbles hinder greatness. | |||
So in closing, Fuck Goons and Roll Ti(ght)de | |||
P.S. As my last act I pardon Joe | |||
