Life goes on: a retirement
Posted: 2006-11-23 23:10
As you've seen, I haven't been able to get any time to work on Maaya's for a good period of time. The loss of data back in the spring was a really critical turning point: just when things started to roll, we lost a good bit of data from the most active wiki month ever on Maaya's. I got angry and lost interest.
And things have stayed pretty quiet since then. Except on my real life. I have a new girlfriend; I'm finally moving out of home; and I soon have a job that will make sure I'm short of any spare time. I'll be staying in the background, but I can't be The Administrator anymore. I just don't have the time and the interest.
So, what to do from now on? We have a few choices:
With the choice two, someone can take over the whole thing. This would be something that I'd prefer, because it'd let the community evolve in the future and not just stay in the old ways. Someone else might have a vision for Maaya's and could make the community flourish; as a thought, Maaya's probably can't keep living only on Maaya.
The last choice is the worst in many ways, but still a possibility if there is noone to keep care of the lambs, one to really take a big responsibility known as being The Administrator.

So, what to do from now on? We have a few choices:
- Let things stay as they are. Maybe give someone else admin rights, but nothing will really change besides new wiki content and forum posts.
- Give the domain and forum files and database to someone who has the ability and interest to run Maaya's.
- Move the community into a free host or just somewhere else. Let the domain go.
