Mod Post: YUI News and Beyond

This is not your usual Mod Post — this might be a shocker or a sad moment.

Anyways, it was first posted on my personal journal. Lately, I have been busy with work/lazy/busy with other stuff other than fandom/other priorities. After weighing my current life status, I have decided the following changes to this site.

With 670 posts in total and more than 126,000 visits, this site proved to be a hit to YUI fans. Unfortunately, for the same personal reason, this site will be needing (same with yuistalker) a new Administrator and/or Contributor. I will be posting the full details on the website as well.

This saddens me as well as I really love this blog. It was more updated than my original YUI Stalker website (yuistalker). But, I had to weigh the situation, and currently, I can’t continue to fully maintain the website anymore. I need help — or more of I will just be helping the new Admin (if there will be one).

Anyways, to those who wants to apply as Administrator and/or Contributor, here are the few requirements needed:

1. Of course, you need to have a WordPress account.
2. Must be a YUI fan and have a network of YUI sites that can be used as reference (though the latter is not really a needed requirement).
3. Must be dedicated and willing to do update the site regularly.
4. Must be fluent in the English Language.
5. It’s a plus if you are fluent in Japanese and can translate from Japanese to English.

To all willing, please drop a comment on this post or directly email me at yuistalker@gmail.com! I’ll be waiting for applicants! If I can’t find a new Administrator/Contributor by next week (I guess), I might get prompted to totally close the website. Sorry guys.

Lastly, I would like to say two things to all of my visitors:
1. Thank you very much for all the support you guys gave to me, this website and my efforts on sharing the fandom. It has been a good and happy journey, and though its not a good-bye, you’ll feel me less than the usual in the past.
2. Sorry for those who might get disappointed with decision I made. I just had to organize and pick out what things are my current priorities and what are not. It might sound selfish, it might sound insensitive, but I felt I need to do this.

BUT.. this does not end my post. I might not be doing the usual updates and news on several YUI-related websites of mine, I have also decided that I might do a few YUI feature post in my blog (yupeh) — feature post that can range from personal opinions to various information about YUI and others. This is kinda my tribute to my penultimate YUI idol, Teo — who did a similar one on her defunct blog now. I know I can’t match her witty, inspiring and ‘educational’ posts in her previous blog, but I can always try. So, you might want to look forward to those.

Cheers,
Rob
