=== The Departure of Max ===

'''Max5923''' was here from the very beginning of the server, having been its creator and main coordinator during the '''r/place conquest'''. It may sound incredibly unusual, then, that his presence was barely felt by the other members of the server. As he was online quite rarely, it proved incredibly impractical to grant mod permissions to the other '''moederators''' once they joined, as it would always require the presence of '''Max5923'''. To combat this issue, a special role, meant for giving away to the new mods, was created. This, however, complicated things, as it meant some of the mods would have one role, and some the other. Overall, having two roles, which were of slightly different colors as well, made the server look uglier than it needed to be and made things confusing when they didn't need to be. It was clear this could not last.

With the '''Bufner incident''' in full swing, it was clear this could not last.

~~With such a low amount of activity~~, and ~~having plans of~~ taking a break from social media, it was no surprise that '''Max5923''' decided to leave the server behind as well. Although remaining a mostly inactive member, he decided to abdicate his position of '''Owner''' and granted full ownership of the server to '''Mr. Sex'''. As a final action before giving away ownership, another role, named '''moewner''', was created, meant to be given to the most trusted members of the mod team, ~~with permission to mod any newcomers, while not being able to give away the~~ '''~~moewner~~''' ~~role itself, that duty delegated only~~ to the '''~~Owner~~'''~~. Although it seemed like a good idea at the time~~, ~~this action established a strict hierarchy in~~ the ~~mod team, giving full permissions to a select few and giving them more power than~~ to ~~anyone else. And once the~~ '''~~moewner~~''' ~~role was given to someone~~, ~~it could not be removed without the direct involvement of~~ the '''~~Owner~~'''.

Having been active so little, and planning on taking a break from social media anyways, it was no surprise that '''Max5923''' decided to leave the server behind as well. Although remaining a mostly inactive member, on December 17 he decided to abdicate his position of '''Owner''' and granted full ownership of the server to '''Mr. Sex'''. As one final action before giving away ownership, another role, named '''moewner''', was created, meant to be given to the most trusted members of the mod team. While the ownership of the server could not be shared between multiple members, '''Max5923''' still wished to distribute the power among the '''moederators''', ultimately granting the role to '''koonsbmw''', '''Walter''' and the aforementioned '''Mr. Sex'''.

Having left the position of '''Owner''', '''Max5923''' had little business surrounding the server, only posting a few messages every few weeks before fading into the darkness once again. Although nothing has been heard from him in months, his influence in the growth of the '''MoeLester''' mythos should not be understated. An incredible group of people got together and ~~still~~ remains as one a full year later. While we don't see you anymore, on behalf of the entire mod team I thank you for creating this server. Godspeed, '''Max5923'''.

Once the change in ownership was finalized, the '''moewner''' role soon went beyond its intended purpose, as the other mods soon started being granted the coveted new role, most notably, '''Gladiux''' and his partner in crime, '''Gio'''. Although it seemed like a harmless idea at the time, this action established a strict hierarchy in the mod team, giving full permissions to a select few and giving them more power than anyone else. Once the '''moewner''' role was given to someone, it could not be removed without the direct involvement of the '''Owner'''. This action essentially cemented the power of those two individuals, as much as you can call Discord modding perms "power", that is, setting the stage for future events to transpire.
