Hello Guardians. I created this sub back in December of 2012 when all we knew about Destiny was what we saw on some leaked concept art. Once the sub got traction I knew that because it was a Bungie game the community that would eventually build up around Destiny would be large and vibrant. I had certain expectations of what /r/DestinyTheGame would become. I never dreamt it would blow up to what it is today.

I've always said that this place's success is a mixture of the talented team that works so hard to keep it running, as well as the amazing users that supply the content and comments that draw so much attention.

I'm stepping down as top moderator of this subreddit and passing on full control to the team who will be lead by /u/K_Lobstah. Why is this happening? Well that is the exciting part. I have joined the team at Bungie as their new Community Manager. Don't worry, /u/DeeJ_bng isn't going anywhere, he will still be writing the weekly update and wearing his funny jacket on Twitch streams. If you want to know more about what I will be doing, my role is laid out in my introduction post.

I am handing off full control of /r/DestinyTheGame to the mod team. This subreddit has always operated independently without having to worry about keeping Bungie's best interests in mind - and it will continue to do so. Because of this, as an employee, I shouldn’t remain on the mod team here. It’s been a lot of fun helping run this place over the years. You will still see me around, but I won’t be influencing the decisions being made here.

It’s been a pleasure to help build this sub. I am excited about serving the community in my new position. Don’t think of this as a goodbye to a head moderator, but more hello to your new Community Manager.
