I rarely cuss on this wiki, especially to those who affiliate themselves to the "team". I put team in quotes for one reason. This is not a team. Look back on how Niko, me, Gastropod, and even Aguziel operated. Compared to that, sadly, this is a joke.

I'm out there, I'm doing stuff. I'm making an attempt at communicating with the wiki. Something goes wrong, whether it's with me or the wiki, the community is going to hear about it. Because, it affects us all. Whether you think it does, or not, it affects us all. For example, the apos bug. Perfect example of what being a bureaucrat should be.

"What does being a bureaucrat have to do with maintaining the wiki?" Everything. We are here to maintain this site, both from a content standpoint, and from a technological standpoint. This requires a level of effort that most aren't able to handle. Now, we don't maintain the server or the sql databases, but we more or less have some breadth of control here. Wikia staff aren't here to babysit us and I was embarrassing the day or two that happened.

If there's a bug, first of all, the community needs to hear about. Second of all, Wikia needs to hear about it. I'm sure Wikia is sick of me contacting them about bugs, but it's for the good of the community. The apos bug, fixed. The badges are partially fixed and the spaces being removed issue is being worked on.

The key here is communication. I'm sorry guys, but you lack it. Perfect example. The chat yesterday. I was saying lines and lines of information, but I got 2-5 word responses. That's not a team. This creates a problem with me because I don't feel I can communicate properly. Is it being received and understood? Hell, am I being taken seriously? I mean, why bother if I'm being taken as a joke? Or take the high road and handle business and take care of this community.

I am a South Park fan. I am passionate about this wiki and it's subject. I have an overwhelming obligation to make sure this place is the best it could be. Some semblance of that is necessary to being a bureaucrat.

I can't suddenly make this wiki's community grow to high numbers, but I can guarantee you, things would run A LOT differently with more members. That being said, we don't have that. A lot of the members we get are kids, who frankly aren't willing to learn. That's fine, I can accept that. So in the mean time, it's up to us. South Park is serious business.

I got off on a tangent, back to the point. All the negative energy, or vibes, directed at me? I'm going to have to live with that. The fact that this wiki's administration can't act like a team? I, unfortunately, am going to have to live with that. I'm not saying I'm perfect, and by no means I am not perfect. I've messed up in the past. I have to live with that. I have to live with that now. Look at me.

By no means is this a personal attack on any one here. I love working with you guys, bureaucrats Cryptar, Nightquest, and Neocarleen, when it actually happens. I've hardly gotten to work with Neocarleen, but she's very nice. Frankly, I hardly get to work with any of you. I work with Cryptar the most, and he is an absolute pleasure to work with.
