Young Writers Society

Site owner and founder, @Nate, is retiring from his position.

Nate has done a lot for the site, not just because he created it. Anyone can create a site, but Nate did more than just create the site - he build it. A full-time college student, low on money and even more so on time, yet he still kept the site going, building it brick by brick, making it the amazing site it is today. A lot of money and time has gone into this, with nothing given back in return. It was hard work, but here we are today, because of him.

But as time went on, he grew more and more frustrated. The site is self-run, solely coded by Nate only, and after a while, he started to burn out. Currently, with over thirty-thousand members, with all bugs and errors being fixed by only one man, we can see how it would be tiring. We offered to take over for a week and allow him to take a vacation, the one he's currently on, and we hoped it would relax him and change his mind, but it seems it isn't.

You can read the exact reasons for his departure here.

The Big Brother team is currently discussing who will take over Nate's position. In the meantime, if you have any questions, please see a Global Moderator or an Administrator.

Thank you.

I've already spoken with Nate, and my ascendancy is pretty much guaranteed at this point.

I would urge everyone to hold on to their pantaloons, because I plan on cleaning house.

...Aw come on.

So long, Nate.

While all of this sounds like legitimate reasons for stepping down, given the date, I am doubtful as to the validity of this post.

Ditto, @ongoeslife. I was believing this until I saw the date. >.>

You mods and admins are a bunch of teases and trolls.

I agree with both @ongoeslife and @ScarlettFire. I need substantial proof that he is retiring, or I won't believe it.
*puts on Holmes glasses* The game is afoot...

I actually got that quote from Survivor.

I intially believed this...

Well... as an administrator, he's mostly stepped down from working. So, this is mostly old news. He relies a lot on the rest of the staff to do the work, which is why most of the administrative work is done through the anonymous Big Brother account.

Guys! We should be happy for Nate after all he's done for us <3

Enjoy your vacation and we'll miss you around the site.

This is so a prank. The rick roll though xD

We'll miss you, Nate!

Come back soon!

I can't believe Nate is leaving. I'm literally crying right now. I'm also using the wrong form of literally.
This is truly a sad occasion. We should all mourn.

That rick roll, tho.

That was a beautiful video, in the link, Iggy. It makes sense now, why he'd want to leave that is.

Today is a sad day.

Come on, Iggy. If you're gonna pull an April Fool's prank at least watch your grammar
