It's been a while since we last wrote about the position of community manager, but it's finally time to announce the two crewmembers who will help improving the website's features and overall content.
Joining the organization as community members are 
Will Hunter and 
Marko Räisänen. Will, also known as wizinium, is an 18 year old student from Northern Ireland and one of the admins of the Multiplay pick-ups. He impressed us with his ideas and we are happy to have such a motivated guy in our ranks.
Marko on the other hand is a familiar face to the TEK9 organization and has been one of the core members of the crew since the beginning of this year. He's one of the most dedicated guys I know, so the decision turned out to be quite an easy one.
We would like to welcome both to the crew!
Marko "maxi" Räisänen Will "wiziniUm" Hunter
Statement Will Hunter: "Well, what can I say. Im very pleased to be joining this great organisation. I have always followed tek9 from when I made the switch from BHD to the cod series and now to be part of it, its awesome. I believe tek9 to be cod's home and unfortunately, I have seen a decline in tek9's status. Im going to work my hardest to get tek9 back to the great heights it was at at the start/middle of cod4. Im going to be introducing alot of new ideas/faces into this org and also go back to the basics which have been forgotten about. I would like to thank tek9 for this opportunity and mutliplay who have put me in good stead for this position and also a special thanks to Asuka."
Statement Marko Räisänen: "After years of been in the news crew for several websites I started to look for a change and then Steven told he would open a position for community manager. I decided to throw my name in for consideration and soon got informed that I got picked. I would like to thank Steven for giving me this opportunity and having faith in me."

"special thanks to Asuka" cringe.
She read over my email for me so of course im going to thank her.
Diablo is right, you deserve no luck. I posted good luck for you whenever switch got announced and also said "good luck Ryan" whenever smithie posted the blog about you being removed and also had some involvement in you not being banned from the forums. Im not going to get baited into an argument so just think for a change Ryan.

get a clue on what?
you're giving her a 'special' thanks because she read over your email.. jesus man you're more obsessed than I thought.
I do deserve luck, I deserve a lot more than you, but I don't get it because I speak the truth and it annoys people.
I could do a TEK9 / cadred article job, I could do a TEK9 community manager job and I thought about applying but why would I just to be rejected 1. because I'm only 17 and 2. because I speak my mind.
I could be in any decent to good level UK team, but am not given a chance because of my 'voice'. You get in good teams because you *lick lick lick*, it's really unreal.
And why would you need involvement in me not being banned? I don't deserve to be banned. TEK9 shouldn't be turned into the Third Reich, just because my ponsey view upsets a few people.
I've never had a personal problem with you, I just do not understand this whole front you put on, and the fact I think you becoming one of TEK9's community managers is stupid.
Wiz is one of the nicest people in gaming. If everyone on here was like Wiz you'd have 0 posts because you'd have nothing to flame.
Maxi I don't know a lot about. But I do know he's been associated with Tek9 for a long time and his coverage has always been good. Promotion from within is alway a good thing.
Good luck to you both :D!
And a special GL to Wiz from his friend the Honey Badger:

Just sums up my point really. No clue what so ever.

See, you can't come up with any kind of witty response..
"NO CLUE" what is that? You can say that to any post.
Wiz is one of the nicest people in gaming. If everyone on here was like Wiz you'd have 0 posts because you'd have nothing to flame.
Maxi I don't know a lot about. But I do know he's been associated with Tek9 for a long time and his coverage has always been good. Promotion from within is alway a good thing.

I didn't say he wasn't nice at all.
I didn't say he wasn't nice at all.
But you're being mean to a nice person. No need!
He does have a clue. Didn't he form Sample this? If that's what you're talking about.
And I just spoke to him on Xfire about something different. He had to go out because he's got a date with a girl. (You can hear the hearts breaking around the Tek9 ladies forum).
So the Asuka thing, i'd not put a care face on about it ;)
Can someone create a flame bait post so Ryan can go hunt there? :P like throw a piece of meat somewhere!

he hardly formed sample this, he made xcite with emu and all that, mean joined, then brought along his mates to replace wiz lol who went to 6th (wasn't even good enough to be in them)
but whatever, I'm doing this thing called speaking my mind, sorry.. I'll do the usual.
Gl wiz, nice guy, REALLY deserve it, you've done loads for the community, SUCH a nice bloke, really goodl uck dude.

ryan man shut the fuck up and stop talking shit... if hes obessessed with asuka its his buisness, its really not a big deal that hes thanking her its basically just a shout out.. yes you could be in a good uk team, yes you probs could be a community manager, yes you do speak you mind but to be completely honest half of the stuff coming from you recently is total fucking shit, just wish the guy good luck just as he wished you could luck its not hard and its certainly not going to do you any harm!
btw gl will hunting xx
