ALinkToThePasta - you have to be active on the wiki you want to adopt. You have made one edit (blanking your user page) since 1 June on Encountage. That is, in fact, once a month if you like. It is not, however, sufficient for adoption, which requires edits to content on the wiki you want to adopt on a regular basis. Not, necessarily every day, but consistently every day or two. If you do not wish to be that active then you will not be eligible to adopt.

Auditor9 -- listusers, sorted by date of last edit, shows that there have been six other editors on the wiki this month, including another admin, a chatmod, and a user who has requested rights himself. Communities need to have the opportunity to respond to a requested change in leadership (on a blog or forum), even if they do not choose to take it. This is particularly true because you were demoted before.

When ALinkToThePasta originally requested adoption the other contributors were not active, so no community discussion was required.
