UCR Gets New Leader.

On Valentines Day, TDFall, former president of the United Clan of ROBLOX, steps down from his position from leader and announces that Catlord5 will be the new president. Many members will miss TDFall as president even though he is still of high influence at the council rank, and are wondering whether or not he made a good choice on the new president.
Catlord5 says to TDFall as a farewell: "TD, words can not express the respect I have for you. Not only have you been a great leader, you've been a great friend. Sure, certain things I've disagreed with you on, but that's only natural. Just remember, TD, that we're always here; come back and visit (I know you're not quitting yet but still). UCR will miss you; I'll miss you. Thank you, thank you(!) for giving me the chance to own the clan that I have stayed in since the time I came back to ROBLOX. You were great."
But some are glad that TDFall is gone, saying that if he had stayed, the controversial 'reinvention reform' that he made might have gone through, and eliminated democracy in UCR. The Reinvention Reform was originally created to promote activity throughout the HRs, and included a complex 'branch' system where you could pay to get the rank of Contractor, now Promoter.
Supporters like Hacker1leo say: "The branches are meant to improve work in UCR, and they do not take away from the main group- in fact it is intended to strengthen it."
Opposers state: "It will utterly destroy the group to give one person too much power individually. Yes I agree, it will keep them active, but theres a big problem with it also: It is giving the HRs too much power and influence in the group. It will destroy member rights, and if you look at history, especially C&G history, you might realize how rare it is to find who uses his power correctly all of the time, and even most of the time. Our problem isn't the activity, and in some areas is a great idea, but create a new one that will work. Create one that relies less on individual power and that will rely more on people power and member rights."
This controversy is probably going to die down as the vote was cancelled and it is catlord5's decision whether or not to make a new vote on the forum so that votes cannot be deleted.
Despite the controversy, TDFall was known by many to be a great leader and an influential member of UCR. He will continue influencing the group as a council member, and will perhaps help UCR become a better group overall.
