I don't think it is so much a signifier of respect. Our founder at Bleach Wiki made 100 edits or so before abandoning the wiki to work on a different anime wiki and left the wiki in bad shape. It took a long time before he was able to return to promote new admins. He did practically nothing for the wiki aside from just clicking the button for making a new wiki. So showing on his user page that he is the founder is not exactly something we want when he did so little for us.
