Well.. Time to make a statement I suppose.
I'm the new host of TMW. It's been an open secret for a while and I figured it should be publicly stated.
I originally wanted to remain anonymous because I have no desire for special recognition. I'm also aware that I've pulled some pretty crazy stunts in the past that might make the community think twice about my role here.
So what IS my role here anyway? When the first host after the move was DDoSed into oblivion I offered my services. The TMW administration at the time(Jenyla, o11c, Frost) followed up on this and decided to accept my offer as I have machines on a network specifically designed from the ground up to handle such attacks.
Before the move to my servers was decided I made it perfectly clear that: I am a hosting provider. Nothing more, nothing less. I am not a TMW administrator. I claim no rights to the data being hosted. I claim no non-hosting-related decision making rights. I provide a server for TMW to run on and help keep it operational. This is a professional host/client relationship and is to be conducted with integrity.
Yes.. I am also a past code contributor and a TMWC Advisor. This is separate from my role as host and should any conflicts of interest arise my role and responsibilities as host comes first and foremost. For example, if I do not agree with the direction the project takes I will not use my role as host to influence it.
I've been a professional systems and network administrator for almost 17 years now. It is my honor and privilege to give a project such as TMW a home. I will do my best to keep things stable and secure.

My sig's the truth unless I am talking about the hosting. I'm just a player and former developer.

Don't worry, I always knew. I still love you the same. You don't have to tell your father if you feel you're not ready.
