Special Witness Update: My last post as a solo witness, here's why...
Hey again, steemizens
The times, they are a changin'
I've got some big news to share. As of yesterday, I have entered into an agreement to officially convert the steem witness I have operated alone since August of 2017, into a team/committee operated witness with two other dedicated and well known steemizens.
This post officially documents the introduction of this new team for the @SirCork witness node in the blockchain.
I am thrilled and pleased to announce that I will be joining forces with the amazing @RhondaK of The Writer's Block community, the SteemShelves project and SteemHouse Publishing.
But wait, there's more!
I am ALSO excited and honored to announce that joining @rhondak and I, will be none other than @Beanz of VO.TU - The Voices of the Underground community.
As you know, I founded the @YouAreHOPE Foundation, steem's exclusive, 100% blockchain transparent, community fueled, worldwide humanitarian aid organization and the @SteemStarNetwork - the live stream at the center of the Steemiverse as well.
Therefore...
We hereby announce ourselves as your newest witness team, who will operate as completely equal peers in this group to make democratically-decided conclusions between us when decisions are required, while working together in ways which we believe will benefit the longevity of the platform, and working hard to bring valuable services and information to the platform by creating and sustaining various ways to give voices to all types of users like you.
Here are the corresponding official announcements from @beanz and @rhondak on the matter of us joining forces as "The Three Headed Beast"

Yay, with such an amazing bunch of people, I will expect some amazing things.
Thank you so much! We will do the work to deliver just those kinds of things! <3
It is such a privilege to be part of this team. I am so pleased that we're able to make this announcement -- I see good things ahead!
wowowohhooo congratulations @rhondak
Thank you, @paulag!!! And congratulations for your teamup, too! Together, we will all make a difference. :-)
Great news. Of course you had my vote many moons ago but it's fantastic to see straight shooters like beanz getting involved. Not to mention that she's the third Irish person involved in operating a witness (demotruk, paulag) and that can only be a good thing;)
Woot woot! Thank you for your continued and renewed support for us all!
Nice one Mr Cork and team, now you have a bit of sass on board i've had to give you my vote! :D
Thanks. There was definitely no sass before! :D
YEAH!!!!!!!!!!! Can I upvote this five times, please? This is fantastic news! Glad to get a couple more women in the witness ring. This kind of teamwork is exactly what we need. Resteemed, and 100% stoked!
Hey, as far as I am concerned, please upvote it 10 times! Thank you for your enthusiastic support! 100% stoked here as well!
Fantastic news, indeed! I'm so happy to be part of this. Beanz and Cork (as opposed to Cork 'n Beanz, LOLOL!) are going to be great teammates. :-)
oh my gosh!!!!! nooooo it HAS to be Cork 'n Beanz!!!! LOLOLOLOL that is the BEST thing ever!!!! hahahaha CONGRATULATIONS AND YAYYYYYY for more female witnesses :)
Oh dear. Don't let this spread.
hehehehehehe too late. i wrote 16 posts on them and paid $1000 each to make them trending ;)
ohhh! I'm gonna tell chumpycat on you!
Oh he already knows... He actually says the name was too awesome for him to flag.... So he let me sneak by!!!! 😂😂😂😂
I never even thought about that but yeah, aside from @patrice and @paulag, we're still some of the first.
hehhehe congratulations and welcome to the gang.
I didn't know about @paulag, thanks for the head's up! I believe @crimsonclad is also a witness, part of @followbtcnews. Love seeing more women lead on the blockchain!
How did I forget Crimson!! One of my all time favourite steemians. Paula is on @steemcommunity witness with @abh12345.
I did not know that! Thank you. @abh12345 is a great Steemian. Off to write them in!
Thank you! :D
Excellent @beanz and @rhonak you are wonderful. You have my small support.Congrats!
Thank you so much for that support! :-)
Congratulations for your partnership. We already supported @sircork, so now we also support @beanz and @rhondak. Greetings from Venezuela.
Thank you so much!
Nice decision @sircork. As many people would have it, the full meaning of TEAM is: Together Everyone Achieves More. I believe in teamwork, i believe in leveraging other people's time, effort and other resources. You have made real effort in the right direction. In no distant time, i am convinced that you will reap the rewards of working together with great minds.
And such great minds they are! Thank you for the warm reception!

Bravo! @beanz and @rhonak are both AWESOME 💖
Thank you, @thekittygirl! :-)
Oh, this is wonderful news! With three great communities combined to call on Captain Planet... Wait, wrong reference. I wish you all the best and smooth running witness.
@anikekirsten, I think as far as combined community building, this witness team is definitely near the top of the list. And community is the future of Steemit. It's what brings us together and holds us together. I'm so grateful for this opportunity to be part of such a great thing!
