The SMF Team has recently held its annual election for the position of Project Manager.
After a number of years in the position Illori has chosen to step down to focus on providing support and Lex, who had been the Support Team lead up until this point, has won the election to become the new Project Manager for SMF.
The Team thanks Illori for all her hard work as Project Manager and welcomes Lex into the position. Please join us in thanking Illori for all her hard work and congratulating Lex on his successful election.
Thanks Illori and congrats Lex you both are dedicated souls to the effort.

We should start calling him the Dark Lord now. :D
You could argue that being Project Manager is less wearing that being a Support Bot. After 59,822 "ZOMG why doesn't my forum work" threads Illori may long for the old days.
Hey... Being a support bot is fun :)
Illori was a great PM... we'll see how my ex boss does :P ;D.
JK ;). Congrats Lex ;).

Without this entire operation, people like me would be in the dark and running a bulletin board.
Many thanks to Illori for the hard work and congrats to Lex for the new position!
Congratulations to you both! All the best in your new role :)
I feel lost in time :P congratulations lex :D ... I hope I don't have another jump in time haha

Where can we find more what's the role of the PM here?
With this position rook, will the regular users, like me, see any change, like speedup development?
Congrats 'n all that!
What projects are planned for SMF? 🙂
Great stuff, thanks both of you and to all the team 8)
In this world of crazy social media and all that it brings with it ..... SMF really is something special and we don't say thank you often enough!

The PM role is greatly an overseer and arbitrator role - Not so much a director role.

SMF has plans for a 2.1 release in the future, also some smaller projects are ongoing that are dependent on that 2.1.
SMF in itself is a project though, so the greatest plan is to continue I guess :)

Uh, no. Being a member here for ten years you should already know SMF is developed and supported by volunteers working in their free time, which most team members don't have a lot of.
Wow, Aleksi, congrats!!
I think I have been following this forum and using SMF longer during Illori's "reign", so have to thank you :)
I can't even image how much time you have to use for SMF, since only running a couple of forums for me is already a huge volunteer work.
Really appreciate what you do.
Thank you! :) It's all a team effort.
