::::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.

:::::Fox, thanks for those encouraging words because I have been considering my own future here as well. I made my first edit in I think May 2007.  However, I have been informed (anonymously) that certain people have been circulating rumours about me (I know that I am not alone in this) and fear that it has jeopardized any hope I have of being able to accomplish more. I think that Fox, PJR, Iduan and myself are probably some of the most "wiki"-ish editors here.  (I am on the editorial board of the internal wiki for a large company so do have some experience in running these things.) However, it is dis-spiriting when all of my active fellow editors are overlooked.  [[User:BrianCo|BrianCo]] 14:24, 20 January 2008 (EST)

I hope neither of you leave.  You're some of the best editors here.-[[User:MexMax|MexMax]] 14:29, 20 January 2008 (EST)

I think you are both vital to CP, along with some of the other grinders (and I mean that in a complimentary sense) here. I cannot over-emphasize that enough. Your "sleeves rolled up" attitudes are amazing! Please think carefully before deciding to move on. We have shown with the competition that we have the makings of a great team here, and things can now only get better :) Of course, don't stay just because I've asked, stay because you want to. There is so much raw material here to work with, and still so many fantastic and needed articles yet to be created. Brian, I hope that particular boogey man is laid to rest for good. Don't let it get you down. [[Image:User Fox.png|10px]] [[User:Fox|Fox]] <small>([[User talk:Fox|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Fox|contribs]])</small> 14:35, 20 January 2008 (EST)
