Hey everyone!

I know this post may be confusing for you, but I’d like to let you all know that /r/AdoptMyVillager will not be closing.

I have decided to team up with /u/devvydowner, a moderator over at /r/RateMyMayor who has expressed her deep desire to see this community stay alive, which I am very keen on. It may not have looked like it in my first post, but I do love this community and really love interacting with you all, so I was keen on keeping it together. My mod team crumbled, so I felt I had no choice but to leave the subreddit alone.

Regardless of previous decisions, Devvy and I, and the other mods of these subs, have listened to the feedback of users, and have come to the decision to revive the subreddit and bring back /r/AdoptMyVillager to the subreddit it was.

I would like to take this opportunity myself to express my heartfelt apologies to the /r/ACTrade, and /r/RateMyMayor mods, whom I besmirched with my previous post. What I said was not acceptable for a public post, and it was not true. I understand that some of you took it upon yourselves to express your opinions through their threads and ModMail. Any negative opinions are not appreciated or condoned. Whether there is/was bad blood, going to other mod teams and calling them names is not constructive, and I understand that what I did was destructive to their reputation.

The /r/AdoptMyVillager and /r/ACTrade teams will continue to work together in collaboration with /r/RateMyMayor, so there will be no inconvenience for you guys.

I would also like to point out that any and all drama that has been involved in IRC, in the past, is old news and we will not tolerate any public outbursts by anyone in the #AdoptMyVillager IRC. Publicly humiliating others is unacceptable and we will move forward with zero tolerance for any non-constructive criticism coming from any and all members of the community. We must now move forward together, and strive to make this subreddit work how it did before.

We are working on assembling a new mod team, and we will keep you all posted as we appoint new mods! We are ready to move forward as a team and get things going in the right direction again!

Here’s to the future!

TL;DR I posted out of anger. What I said was NOT true in any way and we are not shutting down!
