 ::::Anyway, if you're this adamant, I guess we can put it up to a vote; I just don't see why your being the original founder should be any sort of factor in the decision.  You haven't lost access to the wiki, or the level of input in decisions you can have.  You're turning a logical decision into an emotional one. <span style="font-family:times;">'''''[[User:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#080;">G</span>]][[User talk:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#050;">P</span>]]'''''</span>
-:::: What's logical is that all the old admins that moves over currently have they're old powers. Why should I be the only one without it?

+::::::The logic in promoting Snakeboss and CL (who aren't active now) again is that they were active before the move.  I promoted JJ again because he's done an enormous amount of work here in the past.  You're still avoiding addressing what I'm saying, though: you quite clearly want the position only to be able to say you have it, not for the good you'll be able to do with it.  Hmm...
+::::::Okay, if a couple of people come here, consider what we've said and give support to promoting you (that means those who did so way back when you first asked don't count), then I'll promote you - to sysop.  If this seems a bit like I'm taking charge of everything, note that I've already said you can put it up to a full vote. <span style="font-family:times;">'''''[[User:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#080;">G</span>]][[User talk:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#050;">P</span>]]'''''</span>
+:::::::I dont see why it should be put of to a vote. Especially after all ive done for this place, it doesnt make sence for it all to just leave me like that. I already told you, im not going to hurt anything, only help --[[User:Dark Lord Revan|Dark Lord Revan]] 12:47, 12 January 2011 (EST)
+:Ok, I'm not familiar with Revan's story, and I'm not quite sure of the situation at hand. But from what I've read, he was an admin back at the old wiki. In that case, it really should be fair to give him his powers back. However, it seems that he's been accused of vandalism or something. If that's the case, and the debate is to whether he'd use the powers to destroy or not... Well, given the nature of wikis, I think it's easy to just give him his powers. At the slightest sight of abuse, he gets them stripped out immediately. If he did something bad, edits and such can be reverted. Unless this is a debate for owner powers. As far as I know, an owner can completely and irreversibly destroy a wiki. If he's just asking to be an admin like he was, he should get the powers back, like I explained. If it's to become the owner, then things might need some further thought. '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 13:00, 12 January 2011 (EST)
+::No, he hasn't done anything like that. Our greatest fear could be only that he rather randomly promotes people, but even then we can be certain that it's going to be someone who is an established editor. I talked, if that's what you call it, with GP, and we decided to grant him full rights, as only sysop was obviously not his intention.--{{User:Prezintenden/sig}}
+::(had this bit typed up before Prez edited)  There's no such thing as an owner; that's a Wikia thing.  It wasn't that he'd do bad stuff, but that he's not ever done a great deal beyond founding the wiki and promoting some people.  There was no need for him to be an admin.  But yeah, okay. <span style="font-family:times;">'''''[[User:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#080;">G</span>]][[User talk:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#050;">P</span>]]'''''</span>
