Hey everyone!

So, I'd like to adopt the IMVU Wikia from the current owner. I have already made contact with the owner, but after asking for bureaucrat rights I received no response. This was several months ago. He has not been active on the wiki since May of 2011.

The wikia itself needs drastic changes to even begin looking like a wiki. The front page has nearly no content, and the actual content added is unprofessional. Many pages are in need of deletion, but these pages cannot be deleted without Administrator tools. The wiki is basically abandoned, as the last wikia contributor made an edit in August 22, 2015, out of only a handful of people who have contributed (and only a handful of edits, at that).

So, with these abnormal circumstances, 'is it possible to for me to receive an immediate adoption? 'I can't see much of a point to some of the guidelines, such as chatting with other users, as all have been inactive for months/years, and they haven't been actively contributing in a very long time. If I was able to get bureaucrat rights immediately, this would save much unnecessary time "cleaning up" the wiki with the limited power I have at member status, and turn the wiki around for the better.

If this is not possible, that's fine too. I can create/edit pages for a week and follow the guidelines as stated. It just seems pretty foolish for me to have to do extra steps to obtain a completely inactive wiki that has major issues that need to be addressed as soon as possible.

Thanks,

Aethien
