Chary to step down as Chief editor: Thank You for a wonderful 5+ years
It is with a heavy heart that I announce the departure of our beloved Chary from the position of Chief Editor. Chary took over early 2021 and has done a wonderful job over the years, keeping our site and community lively, and managing our editorial staff with a firm hand or two. Her real life has caught up to her and doesn't leave enough time to maintain the busy rythm that this job requires, but fear not: you'll still see her around lurking and contributing every now and then!
As a tribute, I would like us to take a moment to remember a few of her memorable articles in recent years.
- GBAtemp Switch OLED giveaway raffle: 1,708 replies is the largest single act of community participation she ever set in motion; she brought the raffles back by popular demand and made the drawing public on Twitch so members could see it was fair.
- GBAtemp Java Minecraft server : She asked the community if they'd want it, then rented the server, built the "TempCraft" modpack, wrote the guide, and hosted it on her own domain (mc.chary.tv). Enthusiasm followed all the way through to delivery.
- AMA: Chary, Chief Charmander : The best available source of her actual voice, with everything people really needed to know about her.
- Nintendo Direct E3 2021 roundup : 32 live edits to the opening post during a single Direct, with the TempCast streaming commentary alongside. This was GBAtemp's last true E3.
- GBAtemp Extraordinaire: 5 questions to a legendary Temper: pair it with the four-year Group Highlight series: together they show a Chief Editor who repeatedly pointed the site's biggest megaphone away from herself and at the members.
