Staff Retirements and Changes

[Simon]

We have a few staff updates to share today.

Kazin will be moving from Global Moderator to Admin Assistant!
Kazin has been part of our mod team since 2020 and has done an amazing job helping out around the site and community. We're really excited and honored to have them joining the admin assistant team in this new role.

Coalchaser is returning to the team as a Fan Art Archivist.
We’re so happy to have them back and helping with keeping all of our wonderful fan creations organized and preserved.

We’re also saying some goodbyes to a few staff members:

Aaron✦ will be retiring as a Global Moderator.
Aaron first joined the team back in 2015 as a General Helper, he was later promoted to mod and has been an incredible presence on the staff ever since. He is stepping down to focus on other responsibilities. Thank you so much for your many years of dedication and care, Aaron!

Dia. is retiring from their Fan Art Archivist position.
Dia. has decided to step down due to having less time to commit to staff work. Thank you for all your help keeping the Fan Art section thriving and organized, Dia.!

Riddler will be retiring from his Artist role and switching to Guest Artist status.
Riddler is stepping back from his regular artist duties as they’ve become busier with other commitments. We’re so grateful for all the wonderful items Riddler has brought to CS over the years, and we’re thrilled he’ll still be around as a Guest Artist.

Please join us in congratulating and thanking all of them for their hard work and contributions to Chicken Smoothie.

I'm just some random cs user, but I enjoyed seeing Aaron✦ in the forums and my few interactions with him were positive. He seemed cool. I'll miss seeing him on staff. But I understand the grind so I'll just be grateful for all your hard work c: thanks Aaron✦

I'm not as active in the chatty type forums as I am in the trading ones, but its great to see some new people as well as sad to see people go. I don't think I've personally interacted with Aaron at all, but it was cool seeing him around and interacting with others

Hope life treats you guys well, Aaron, Dia, and Riddler!
