So, i have word back on changing who the Master Administrator of the site is. It can be done rather easily, but we need to decide on who should be the new owner.
Anyone have suggestions, or should we retain our current MA?
OOOH, OOOH, I nominate Gears!
Admin, SCP Wiki
I'd probably have to go with that Gears character. He's a shady bastard.
Though if no one's thought of it yet, throwing the big A a PM to see if he's stil running and dodging would probably be a good idea.
Shot him a message, but i don't anticipate a reply. Still, maybe this is the prodding that is needed to get him to return?
Also, thank you for the votes of confidence. Honestly, i'm not overly-familiar with the Wiki software, but i can do my best if selected.
ME! I NOMINATE ME! I SHALL RULE YOU ALL WITH AN IRON MITT! MUHUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
No, seriously, I think it should be Gears too.
Just received word back from The Admin…i'll just re-post, he puts it rather well:
Dr. Gears,
I owe you and the other Admins a huge apology for seemingly abandoning my position on the site. I love the SCP world and only had its best interest in mind by moving hosting to wikidot. Unfortunately the real world has been more demanding of my time than I have to enjoy this fiction.
The good news is that I'm now the proud father of a healthy baby boy. The bad news is that my wife has lost her job and I'm working twice as hard as ever to support my new family.
I'm glad that the site has continued to expand without me and I will set up a pro account this week as you've requested, I owe the rest of you that much. I will peek in from time to time to enjoy myself, but I leave the daily administration in your capable hands.
Thank you,
The Administrator
here's the word back i'm getting from wikidot about changing things:
In general no, unless there is real evidence that the current MA has disappeared and you are stuck.
Please get me other admins from the MCP site to PM me with the same request and please provide some background to your request, and we'll look at it on Monday.
Then, probably, yes.
The guy i'm in contact with is pieterh (http://www.wikidot.com/user:info/pieterh), so let him know your opinions and such.
I nominate Gears, mainly because I expect him to fire down unholy clockwork wrath onto everyone. Especially you guys.
Holy crap…i'm the MA now…
I guess, at this point, we may as well start discussing what we're going to do in regards to a pro account.
…Oh wait…there is one more thing…
*readies the clockwork BaneBlade*
/me fits himself for a hunchback, and a lisp. Every good dictator needs a toady.
Admin, SCP Wiki
What, really?
Neat.
I'm going to see if I can get the AdSense bugger to make money for you.
It's the pain in the ass service that is incredibly glithy hat allows one to control the ads on site and whetwr we get money from it.
I'm trying to set it up, but it's like, glitchy as fuck, and won't fully bloody load for me, the piece of shit…
That would be massively helpful…could use the funds for self-sustaining the pro account, and maybe adjust how the adds appear…and get rid of that damn toolbar on the top…
