The Smash community will always hold a special place in my heart as a result – please be good and support one another as the community coming together has always been it’s greatest strength. I wouldn’t have my career without first having discovered Smashboards – this site introduced me to video game tournaments and invited exciting discussions around rulesets and tournament formats in the early days of esports. Looking back it was nearly 20 years ago I joined the Smashboards community – I was in high school and was just learning that Super Smash Brothers Melee could be played at a deeper level. We provided thousands in sponsorships to events like The Big House, CEO, Combo Breaker, and streamers like VGBootcamp.We supported more than 150,000 new members who viewed the site more than 400 million times, contributed nearly 10 million posts of discussion, and browsed for more than 11 million hours.We launched and maintained a ranking system (now archived) that saw 23,408 ranked players from 16,456 local events, 1,002,574 matches.We launched a news portal and added features like our top streams tab and events tab.We migrated from vBulletin to Xenforo and refreshed the Smashboards branding.We Supported the launch of Smash Wii U, Smash 3DS, and Smash Ultimate and built new guides and character forums.Looking back – here are some milestones and numbers from this past decade: With his expert advisement, we’ve maintained 99.999% uptime for over 8 years now and I know the site will be in good hands for the next 10 years with him looking over it. Warchamp7 has been behind many of the sites upgrades and has been supporting the operations for nearly a decade – we first met during the late 2013 DDoS attacks and without his efforts we would not have gotten back online. The new owner of Smashboards, effective June 1, 2023, is someone many of you know well – Warchamp7. Smashboards stands as one of the largest continually operating websites on the internet which is owed to the strength and history of the Smash community. And thank you, the Smashboards visitors, members, and premium members, who have kept this community alive for more than 20 years. I’d like to give a special thanks to all the moderators for nurturing the community these many years and keeping the site’s culture strong without your support Smashboards would not be the special place that it is and new members would not be welcomed. After more than 10 years owning this passionate community, it’s time for me to move on so that I can focus on my career and soon to be growing family.
