Changes

:::Thanks for the kind words. I will probably stick around for a bit longer than I originally planned, definitely until the end of the nomination (assuming that ends in a reasonable amount of time ...), and then I'll re-evaluate (with the results from that and from experiences over that time) and see where I'm at, although really if too much time goes by I'm going to have to immediately leave, as especially given the type of work I do (browsing articles, checking recent changes, and editing templates), even doing the smallest thing is sometimes time consuming without rights (I can't edit templates without going to someone - even if I just need to fix grammar in a template), I can't delete articles without tracking someone down ... and so on. But hey, so far no one has come out and opposed me on the nomination, so I suppose there's hope.--<small>[[User:Iduan|<span style="color: #FFCCCC; background: #660000">I]][[User_talk:Iduan|<span style="color:#CCCCFF; background:#000033">Duan]]</span></span></small> 00:18, 17 January 2008 (EST)

::::There is a lot of "history" to why getting extra editing rights and sysop permissions isn't as straightforward as it should be, Iduan. There is still a slight shadow over the site, which I thought had been lifted, hence my return last December, but please hang in there. There are ''at least'' 4 very good, dedicated and hard working editors who are all deserving of receiving the sysop's mops and buckets, and I hope to see you all getting the permissions sooner rather than later. With a good team of genuinely motivated sysops, who aren't just in it for the power trip, we could even see the return of 24-hour editing, as Andy could be confident that we would deal with vandalism across all time zones. I know it is frustrating, I've been in your shoes also, but everything comes to he who waits.
