Happy Two Years, and an Announcement

On January 1, 2008, I purchased the domain FilmArcade.net. Needless to say, from the beginning, it was a task that I was interested in pursuing. With a team full of awesome writers, I would like to say that we kicked some ass from the beginning. FilmArcade.net wouldn’t be without everyone that was involved.

And from the last two years, I say we indeed kicked some ass. We’ve gotten in touch with countless studios to help promote their movies. We sent two wonderful writers to the Sundance Film Festival last year. Our Oscar live blogs have kicked traffic’s ass. I say we pretty much gave a lot of film blogs a run for our money.

I say all of this because after two years of running a site like FilmArcade, it is time for me to put my reign to an end. I have begun pursuing further interests, and it has seemed like I’ve been away this past year. I’ve learned a lot this year, and discovered a lot of new things. Now that those things have come into play, running a site just felt like one of those things I just haven’t had the time to do.

But FilmArcade isn’t done its fight. We still have a long way to go. I have put the site in the hands of Anthony Thurber, who has been with me from the beginning and has never left. The man has been taking care of the site for a long, long time, and for that I can only thank him. I couldn’t ask for a better co-admin. Now, he has the position of the head admin.

As for me? I’ll still be around, peeking my head in and checking up on everything and everyone. I’ll be around for the Oscar Blog this year, and may even throw in a review or two if there is anything worth writing about.

This site has been my baby since the beginning, and giving it up seems like it would be one of the hardest things to do. But we’ve been going on for two years strong, and hopefully, even longer after I’m gone.
