@IBT, check the history of Community Corner

@Logo, never apologize for your feelings, or respectfully airing them.

IIRC, this wikia was in peril when I arrived and offered my services. Even Meta felt I was a good fit. I even stated that after helping to set everything back on track I would be stepping back and not interfering with the administration.

I feel I did that. Helped during the crisis, and stepped away instead of coming in and fully taking over. I check on things everyday, often a couple times, I'm just not going to enforce my presence where it is not needed. In fact, I left my username unhighlighted for the longest time, and it was y'all who kept after me to apply it to myself.

I certainly tried to keep *you* encouraged during the time you wanted to step down.

And when have I ever lauded my position over anyone? When have I ever stepped in and undone something you or the rest of the admins have done? When you changed my "grandmaster flash" heading on Community Central, show me where I took umbrage. Because were I the type to say "please respect me and stuff", would I not have reverted things like that? Or I suppose you feel I have not noticed because you think I've not been checking in.

Also IIRC, an initial thought was that did not need a bureaucrat, but that you could always go to Staff when you needed something done. I mentioned that was not a good long-term strategy but that you needed someone more approachable and local to the situation instead of having to wait for lengthy Staff response turnaround times. I'm filling that niche.

However if you truly feel my status here is no longer warranted or wanted, by all means start an open forum to address it. If the community reaches a new consensus asking me to go, and who to appoint as bureaucrat(s), I'll do so.

As for the other Bloon-themed wikias, yes I managed to get them. Initially to keep a hater troll from using them as personal platforms from which to spout hatred of BCoW. But then "Why not repurpose them?". Certainly Bloons Fanon has potential. Regardless of why they were originally made, what good may we make of them now? Certainly let's address the hater and hateful content in them. If all feel there is no place for them, then fine, they will continue to shrivel and waste away, but at least not become homes for haters and trolls to set up shop.

Though, why remove Meta's wikia? Back when she first made it and talked about her time here as done, I asked her to consider our two wikias as sisters and affiliates.

I'm sorry you feel I've been or become a burden here. I've been trying to live up to my promise to not takeover or make "sweeping changes".

Set up the forum discussion. Allow the community to voice itself.
