Staff, Group, and Theme Changes
TL;DR: @Kyou has been demoted. @Customer is now a Super Moderator. The Multicolor theme has been made the default one.

Sinisterly is approaching the end of its second year of operation and getting ready to start it's third. In order to get the third year off on a good start, I have decided to implement changes. A couple of those changes have already been made. Namely, changes to the staff roster, group leaders, and the theme. Some of this is old news, but needed to be formally presented.

[ Staff Changes ]

First off, I have made some changes to the staff roster. I have demoted @Kyou from his position as the Anime & Manga section's moderator. He's been absent for well over a month. He's still respected here, but we haven't seen him, and he's not doing the Anime & Manga section any favors by holding the position.

After being on the site for well over a year and contributing a lot, I've decided to make @Customer a Super Moderator. He will be helping @BreShiE and I deal with reports, which seem to be appearing more and more often. He's been here a long time and has definitely earned his position, so be sure to congratulate him!

[ Group Changes ]

Lately, the groups of Sinisterly have been relatively inactive. As such, I selected new leaders for Reverence and Otaku. I also closed Agents, meaning it ceases to exist as of now. These changes have been made to boost group activity and ensure the groups are managed properly.

@Vipr and @Alex were removed as leaders for Reverence (with the possibility of returning), while @Adorapuff has remained. @Jiggly and @Six have been added as leaders of Reverence, to replace the previous leaders. @Kyou has been removed as Otaku's leader (with the possibility of returning), as he's been gone for a long period of time. @Customer has been made the new leader of Otaku.

[ Theme Changes ]

We've had this theme for god only knows how long. Few sites pick an excellent theme, then keep it in place for a long period of time. We're one of the sites that have. However, it's apparent we need to modify the theme to keep with the times, so I have started making changes.

We had a multicolor version of the theme made, which has just left beta. It is now the default theme. That's not all, either. We're currently looking to modernize the new current theme, while keeping old elements with it. This way, you'll get parts of the old theme you loved, with brand new features to spice it up.

Have a great day!
