Howdy neighbors. So let's get the most important thing out of the way. Zoot has appointed me co-admin of the Zarty. I've known Zoot for about a year now and he has shown a lot of trust in me during that time. He was of the opinion that I am way more active and familiar with the day-to-day environment of the Zarty. Zoot has, for a while now, found himself often having to be informed on the latest nonsense that his userbase is arguing about, or the latest boogeyman that we are meant to keep an eye out for. Therefore, he had decided to delegate the overseeing and maintaining of the Zarty to me while he directed his focus on other projects, such as animation, his career, and studying art, as well as helping with development of the ocgemerald club. At the end of the day, I still answer to him. He has just entrusted me to try and maybe improve the website if possible, and due to my immense respect for him, I intend to do my best to accomplish just that. This thread is meant as a list of important and not-so-important information regarding my inauguration.
Oh right. Yes, I have been a janitor for the past year.

That's racebait of ANY kind, be it white or brown. We used to tolerate it because it was a kind of sharty culture and a majority of the offenders weren't even giving the racebait any further thought beside it being an innocent joke. It has become apparent, however, that the loud minority of racebait posters are genuine off-siter degenerates who are only trying to stir up trouble. Racebait threads will be moved to /drenthe/. Racebait intended to derail high-effort threads/posts will be dealt with based on janny discretion. Context will always be taken into account, and fun will not be outlawed.
