Well, it finally happened. I’ve finally decided to retire from being the leader of the AUB. It was a very tough decision that I spent days thinking about but ultimately, I think it’s best if I step down. Although I may be retiring that doesn’t mean the AUB is coming to an end. In fact the AUB is far from over. Even though I might be gone I don’t want you guys to lose hope. Without hope, there’s no AUB. Without the AUB, there’s nothing to fight upvote beggars. Without anything to fight upvote beggars, there’s no imgflip. I could be wrong here but I think if we don’t fight upvote beggars, imgflip would be a terrible website, filled with people begging to see a meaningless number go up. Does that sound like a good website to you? I guess what I’m trying to get at is the AUB was built on hope. When I first made it, MSMG was against it. A war between us was started on day 1 and at the time, MSMG had about 11k followers compared to the AUB’s measly 4. But, we didn’t give up hope. Even though the numbers were stacked against us by a lot, we stayed determined, and eventually grew to 30 followers with in 3 days. Then 40 followers, then 50 followers, 75, 100, 150, the number kept going up. But then, the arkuum happened. Supernova, one of the leaders, had betrayed us and reduced all of our progress to nothing, but do you know what we did? We laughed. We stayed hopeful and created a new sub stream. This time it’d be better than the last. And now, we’re almost at the same number of followers we were at when the first stream got arkuumed. And upvote begging doesn’t happen as frequently anymore. So in conclusion, stay hopeful, stay determined, and stay fighting upvote begging. Country invader will be your new leader, and trust me, he’s gonna do great. And so will hdmi_cable and fantom_L, who are both second in command and interaction system, who will be 3rd in command.
Lastly, I wanna thank everyone in the AUB. You guys have all helped save this website and I can’t thank you enough. You’re the reason we can keep doing this and the reason I didn’t give up on the AUB. Thank you all for listening and it was an honor being your leader. Take down those upvote beggars for me, alright?
