[POLL] - A new leader

As much as I'd love to carry on being the leader of WWEv, our union, it's come to the point where I have to do what's best for us in order for the union to overcome this dull atmosphere. The action is for me to pass the torch, to resign as position of such an exhilarating union in order for it to follow through.

Over the past few months, we have hit some rocky roads, and we pulled through alright, but with a significant decrease in activity. My status of activity and enthusiasm hasn't helped the union much either but in all honesty, school has took top priority since the final year started. All I can do is apologise sincerely, for I deeply feel I contributed to the union's latest downfall. The only way to sort this mess out in my opinion is to start fresh, with someone taking over, giving new light and prosper for the future. I feel I have done my bit over the past two years but it seriously feels like it's time to pass the torch, as cliched as that sounds.

Now, I don't want you all to think I'm leaving the union. No, I'd just like to take control as an officer and just moderate the union instead of being the authorised admin. I've had such great discussions and moments being a part of this union and I sure hope there will be more to come in the future!

I have chosen the nominees, so to speak, on who I feel is capable of stepping up as leader of the World Wrestling Everything union, and it's up to the entire community to decide.

Please leave a comment besides your chosen nomination.

Thank you.

i don't want it. don't vote for me. vote for Jim Hellwig.

It's not nearly as bad as I thought it was. For a second I thought you were leaving the union. I'm not sure what a new leader could do, but I'd definately back The Dude.

Sad to see you step down Mena, I have been here for about a year and I thought you've done a great job leading.

With that being said the 4 you selected as new choices was very hard to choose from. Being that I respect and like each of them very much. But I have come to the conclusion of voting for The_Dude14.

Well since Stephy doesn't want to be leader I vote for Dude.

everyone vote for The_Dude, Jackov doesn't do as much stuff as you guys think.

KBF and I don't care and we work to much to even be around.

somebody tell AlexN that he should be leader :P. then we can finally get out "GS Endorsed" emblem.

everyone vote for The_Dude, Jackov doesn't do as much stuff as you guys think.sephy37

This comin' from a guy who posted this not too long ago.....

Yeah, I went there.  Just returning the favor. ;)

that was like a 3 months ago!

and this coming from a guy who has this sig?

I think the_dude should be the leader as well, since he is a charter member of the Union and has stuck by your side since day 1

I hope Union Activity eventually picks up, but as long as the WWE keeps giving us the BS, that they are shoving down our throats, week after week then activity will be lower until the WWE becomes more interesting again and I have got to the point, where I do not miss watching Wrestling anymore, I missed it for about a month as I was trying to get away from it and from what I read on here in what few threads I read on here, things seem have only got worse, not that I think things would have changed that much over the last 4 months, since I last watched the WWE

LMAO!  I remember you postin' that creation in OT.  It's best to not know what was goin' through your head as you were makin' that. :P

Also to Mena, you should not have to say you are sorry for anything, none of what has happened is your fault, it is just the fault that interest in the WWE is way down right now and as long as things stay that way, then activity will be down though and it is going to be a challenge for whoever is the leader to have increased activity around here as long as the WWE stays the way it is right now and I think whoever becomes the leader should expect to see activity to remain like it is right now until the WWE gets better, but the way things are going in the WWE, I do not count on that happening for a long time

I know you have hinted before about stepping down and I think you just need to focus on other things and get away from Wrestling a little bit for a while, while putting most of your focus on your schoolwork

It is truly sad to see you go.  As a leader myself, I know how much work it can take, so I fully respect your decision.  You've done so much for this union, but sometimes you just need to move on, just for the sake of change.  And honestly, I think this is a good time for it.

Anyhow, I voted for The_Dude.  I think either of the 2 remaining candidates would be a good choice, but when I think WWEv, I think Dude before I think Jackov.

Well another thing Wally and you know me as well as you do your officers in the NFL Union and if I ever wanted a spot as an officer there, I feel like I would have a good chance to get it, but when I look at the NFL Union and it is a thriving Union that continues to grow, because interest in the NFL is very good and we always have good threads there and a good relaxed atmosphere and I think your officers in the NFL are more happy with the NFL, then what the Officers here in the WWEV Union are happy with the WWE at this point in time and I feel like that makes a huge difference as far as allowing you to be a leader and when you have officers who are active and are happy with the topic that the Union involves around, like I have noticed that you have not been that active around the NFL union recently, but you haven't had to be, because you have a great group of officers who pick up the slack, when you are not able to do much and that helps a lot

Mena at 1 point in time use to have a very dependable fleet of officers, but due to lack of interest in the WWE and other officers feeling the need to step down and do other things, it makes it very hard to be a leader of a Union, when interest in down and your officers are leaving and you have to do more, when you are not able to, I do not think Mena would have stepped down, if interest in the WWE was much higher and he had a dependable fleet of officers, because he was able to slack off, when he was too busy, because he use to have the officers here that could take care of things, when he was not able to do much

I am just glad that over at the NFL Union, that you Wally have that luxury at this point in time, because it use to be in this Union, but not anymore though

Well Mena, I wish you in all what you do, and hopefully your officier status is here for you. Good luck with all your coursework. Tough choice to say who should be the leader. If I really had to pick someone, I say The_Dude14 because he has done an excellent job updating us with lots of stuff. His knowledge of wrestling is keeping me around here. I think he is one of the good friends I got here at WWEv.

***Edit: I would pick Sam as well, but he got a full load on his hand taking on GamingRing as a MOD, and some other places. He has done a magnificant job updating us on the Homepage. So if Dude decline his decision as leader, then Sam is my next pick.

well, mena has done an excellent job as leader, but i see where he is comin from.I have voted for the dude.

If he turns down that position though, i think that, icytower should get the position.

I'll keep this poll running till Christmas day till I pass on my position as leader of WWEv.

If any of the four candidates have any objections or have anything else to say about the matter, please don't hesitate to post so in here or privately via PM.

don't go by the poll. go by what people posted. it doesn't make sense if 20 people that have hardly posted her all vote for someone and it makes that person farther ahead in the poll than others.

While this doesn't come as a complete shock to me, as hbk91 has mentioned on a few occasions considering stepping down as leader for a while now, its still something I don't want to see.  If it were up to me, I'd say that hbk91 should remain the leader unless he plans on leaving GS altogether.  This Union was your idea and no one has put more into this union than you.  However, its not my decision and I'll respect it whatever it turns out to be.

I'd also like to say I truly appreciate all the kind words and support people have given me in this thread.

However, I don't think I'd be the right choice to be the new leader.  I honestly don't see anything changing for the better if I were to become leader.  I have not exactly been brimming with ideas for this place or in general enthusiasm towards wrestling as of late.  I haven't watched any WWE program since Lashley won the ECW Title and haven't been watching Raw or Smackdown for a lot longer than that.  Also, similar to hbk91, the forums have taken a backseat to other concerns.  While I had and have no intentions of leaving the Union, I really don't think I'd be the right choice as leader.  Again, though, thank you all for your support, I really do appreciate it.  And thank you, hbk91 for all you've done as leader, if you do choose to step down.

Maybe some of these guys are like me though, I've been reading on this board since it started but didn't join untill about a month ago.

well then make a post and explain your reasons and who you voted for, don't just use the poll

I have not exactly been brimming with ideas for this place or in general enthusiasm towards wrestling as of late.  I haven't watched any WWE program since Lashley won the ECW Title and haven't been watching Raw or Smackdown for a lot longer than that.The_Dude14

With the recent comments by The_dude14 I would like to re-state my choice.

I never thought this union has taken a bad direction. Slowed down at times, yes, but not ever really been in trouble. It is the #1 union of Gamespot for a reason. I think you've been a great leader no matter how many times you post. I do think The_Dude is right, even though his is winning the poll if he isn't watching Wrestling programs a lot and even admits he doesn't think he would be right for the job I think it shouldn't happen. I think he would do a great job as leader as well as the other 3 choices so it's a win-win situation.

I may not post as much as I would like too but I still lurk and read everyday.

I agree with some posters above me and say try and stick around and just wait to things clear up. Let the officers to their job and just do what you can.

I honestly want WWEv to start afresh for 2007. We need a leader to bring energy back into the union's atmosphere and regroup what's left of our active community.

It's got to the point where I have realised that the union needs to be changed. Not changed entirely, no. It needs to be changed constantly, updated as often as it can. This is a wrestling site. Wrestling is 24/7, despite how 'terrible' some programming can be.

My struggle to progress our union is dominated by time which has trapped me throughout my studying. I did terrible in my exams back in June, and they were just end of year mocks. 2007 is the real deal for me, final exams, and I can't afford to waste more time.

If a democratic appeal won't solve this matter, I'm pleading the four of you I have chosen for one of you to step up and accept my position, please. I can't stay on and do the job I have been recently doing.

hbk91

Well you can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make him drink and that is the basic feeling right now about somebody taking over your position and most importantly having the heart for the business

It does not matter who is brought in or if we get new members or not, because until Wrestling becomes watchable again, then this Union will remain in the current shape, that it is in

It just has got to the point that with few officers and loosing some of your best officers, you cannot be a pediastrian leader anymore here, because when I first came here back in March you had a very active group of officers, who were very dependable and did a lot and you did not have to do much as the leader then

This time last year we had some many active members and people who wanted to become mods. You saw all the mods at least once a day posting. We had the awards and people were happy with the union.

What happened? I believe some lost interest some became frustrated with other users and left and some look around but just see no reason to post. I believe after CM Punk debuted we lost something IMHO to look forward to. We always sapped up news about him. Then there was RVD with his WWE title push we kept hearing about. That also made the union excitable. A possible DX reunion. But this year had so many disappoints. TNA also kept us as it was new and fresh. Now it has become stale as it came to Spike TV. There was ROH which was so different but now it is hard to keep up with.

Then it was also the fact that the authority figures were all different and you could actually see then on the board instead them being in the shadows slowly moderating.
Before RAW topics could reach page 10 now we put all 3 together and barely reach 5. There's noone to discuss it with in the thread so you either just watch or post and get no responses.

That's just my 2 cents on what's happened. The repetiviness of Cena vs. Edge really killed the union IMHO.

Honestly, I think the day when this union began declining was theday all those guys left. Darren was one of the most enjoyable guys to listen to, and watching him and Gary interact (towels) was pure gold. Also, that whole Fantasy thing Gary set up went to hell, which brought in several guys. After that a lot of people just stopped caring. Honestly, I never thought I'd be one of the guys sticking around while so many WWEv originals left. (Some of you guys, like Mena, Gary, and Zach, should know what I'm talking about.) WWEMAN101

Darren isn't real.

I guess I will remain as leader of WWEv, for now.

Believe me when I say I will try and do my best to revive the union from this great sleep. Mark's analogy put it best and it was rude for me to put pressure on the four of you I chose, especially on Christmas day. I'm sorry for that. I can't make any promises for the future but I'll do the best I can.

That's all that this union can hope for Mena. Although you stepping down wouldn't ruin the union, I honestly don't think that would happen, no one else can offer any more then you can at the moment.

I know I wasn't one of the four main choices, and I'm cool with that, but I still feel that I should make this statement.The only thing I have to offer to the union that you don't is the time. I CAN'T do banners nor could I mess with HTML without A LOT of practice.

why dont we rebuild this place? Fantasy games and stuff like thatDark_Hylian8
