Admin Forum:Q&A with Admins and Founders

Hi all, if you've been reading the Admin Central:Forum, you know that I'm BassJapas, more commonly known among Wikians as Jazzi. I was recently asked to create a thread with questions for Admins and Founders. Now, to let you know, I'm very nervous about writing this, so I apologize for any spelling errors and grammatical mistakes.

Although I already have a couple of questions to ask you guys, I don't have many, so feel free to add new sections with more questions, but don't forget to expand on what you're asking.

This thread is open for anybody to add new questions, so don't be afraid. I'd love to see what you guys have to say. -- Bass Japas   (Jazzi)  02:28, July 2, 2011 (UTC)

Founders, how do you find new users?
At the start of a new wiki, it's always hard to start a community, and once it starts, it's still a bit hard to keep that community growing. What are your best ideas for finding new users? What are the best ways to start a community? How do you keep that community going?

Admins, how did you get to the point of adminship?
We all started off as just a simple new user in the sea of hundreds. Whether or not there is a smaller community on the wiki you edit at, or if there's a large one, we all started out small. And from that original stance, how did you become an admin? Was there a Request for Adminship involved, or did you adopt through Community Central:Adoption requests? Everybody has his or her own unique story on becoming an admin. Why don't you tell us yours?

How do you interact with the members of the community?
If a new user needs help, do you give them the help they need? How do you go about with it? What kinds of help have you given? From helping with signatures, to helping teach the standard of the wiki, new users need help, some more than others. But one very important thing to remember when helping an user, new or old, always be friendly about it.

What wikis are you an admin at?/What wikis did you found?
Some admins edit at many wikis and are admin at one, and some admins edit at a couple and are admins at all. Where do you edit and at which wikis are you an admin?? Did you create a wiki? If so, which wiki did you create?

I Need to add more admins to my Wikia
Ok so i used to be able to add admins to my Wikia (mangafox.wikia.com) since i was the founder and i currently need some help with a few things going on and i have a few people in mind. But after i accidently clicked the rollback option on my own profile, i was unable add future admins. Is my Beauraucrat status gone or something??? I have no idea what's going on. Also a person contacted me but i don't know how to send a private message back. i was a bit inactive due to my new job. Is that the reason? Please help!!
