For roughly 7 years (both before launch and after launch) I have been the acting webmaster and Editor-in-Chief of TokuNation.com. It has been a joy and pleasure, more than I can state, to have been an active part of this fandom, this community, and a peer to so many of you for almost a decade. The friendships I have made are lifelong and the memories I have with all of you will last till the end of my days. But in life there are always going to be forks in the road where you have to decide which direction to go down. I have chosen to take a turn, and today I am formally announcing my decision to leave TokuNation.com.
In the same breath, I would like to announce the new Editor-in-Chief of TokuNation.com - Den-O (aka Jordan, aka @DenO_Tokunation). There is a lot to learn regarding the behind-the-scenes processes of running a website, and thus we are now entering a transition period as we change roles. This transition period will end and be finalized on September 1st, 2018. On a personal note - I have the utmost faith and trust in Jordan. I never entertained the thought of anyone but him to take this position. I am confident in his skills and abilities and proud of his growth over the last 7 years. He is more than a friend - he is a brother, and the future is incredibly bright with him at the helm. I am not leaving the network as there are other plans in place for me, different roles for me to fill, and new adventures and journeys waiting to begin. You will hear about them soon. I will remain with TokuNation in an advisory role and to continue to work as an official contact between the site and various companies that we work with in our day to day activities during said transition. However, my overall visible activity on the site will become diminished. On our forums, I will remain as an Administrator for the time being during the transition period and in my new advisory role. I will also still handle convention coverage throughout the year and in the future. With all that said - Please join me in congratulating Jordan in his new role as Editor-in-Chief of TokuNation.com! And thank you, everyone, for 7 years I will never - ever - forget. -TokuChris/Kickback/rankal/Gold Ranger TokuNation.com Editor-in-Chief (2011-2018)

I'm beyond grateful to Chris for his years of steady leadership and service to this community. While he won't be entirely gone, he will still be missed. And I'm really excited for what he has to share with everyone in the future. Keep your eyes peeled!
And, I'm more than honored to take the helm after the last 7 years of growth and change. I aim to do my very best to maintain the same kind of quality of coverage that he always has. When Chris began putting this site together 7 years ago, and put the feelers out for people to help staff it, I never imagined that one day the reigns would be passed to me. I was literally the least experienced and familiar person on staff. He didn't know me at all. I'd never written articles for a website, or done photography, or anything else relating to my duties here now. Yet here I am. I also never imagined the close friendships being a member of this community would bring to me, with him, and so many others. TokuNation has shaped my adult life and who I am as a person in countless ways. I owe much of who I am now, to my involvement with this site. I won't fail you, any of you.

Someone please draw Kingranger passing the torch to Kamen Rider Den-O.
Chris, thank you for starting and operating this place. Your contributions will never be forgotten. Den-O, I have faith that you will do a superb job managing this community. So does this mean that Tokunation will now be operated from a 6 Billion year-old pyramid robot to a time-travelling bullet train that serves funky colored coffee?

We're a small community. Message boards are not the "hip thing" anymore. But the group that is here I consider the best group, because the negativity doesn't flow like a waterfall. Everyone is (mostly) respectful of each other's opinions.
I'll still be around. I get that "honorary forever Admin badge" privilege for founding the place lol
