Time for my NGU mission statement... :p
Where shall I begin? I came to NextGenUpdate the same way 99% of the member base did: for Modern Warfare 2 hacks. I didn't give half a shit about the community at the time, and after I got my prestige hack was on my way. A few months later I returned, to see what NGU is actually all about. I started going to other sections of the forums, getting to know people, and along the way made quite a few suggestions that got me known around the forum. Then somewhere along that time I became Premium, a week later a Reporter. The following month I was promoted to Sectional, and in the following weeks was a regular moderator. After a couple of months passed, I was wearing my black coat. Then, after having been a Super for a few months, I retired. Then I came back the next day. Then a few weeks later I retired again.
I disappeared from NGU in that time after I retired. Now, I'm back, and currently wearing my pink coat. I have a lot of hope for this community, and although some people deem me as too ambitious, I think that's exactly what this community needs right now.
In the years to come, I see NextGenUpdate changing. I see us broadening our horizons, and becoming more established then we ever have been before. Throughout my time here, there has never been a moment when things merely have been at a standstill. Promotions and demotions seem to be a regular thing, and one issue or another seems to be the focus of the community. My vision is that will all come to an end, and we will finally have a solid staff and administration that we can rely on for the coming months and years without having to worry much about more promotions / demotions.
I also see NGU becoming more professional, and a bigger name on the internet. Sure, we have a lot of members, but it's the other large communities that are deemed more credible than us. With the implementation of the homepage, and soon to be a new News Crew, I think we will be well on the road to achieving a news team that is both timely and newsworthy, and as do our hacks, will bring in members across the web. We've got the ground work for a great community. Now it's time to act on that, and allow NGU to fulfill its potential.
you love writing, don't you? lol anyways cool story, I hope what you say about NGU in the future actually happens, and I'll be here to help NGU make it happen =D
