If it makes you feel any better (it probably won't D; but I figured I should still mention this;) that statement is actually a 3-year buildup of pent-up frustration explosion lol. It's more about the not-so-infrequent experiences of seeing people casually leaving comments about how small a wiki is and hoping it will be expanded etc., without actually trying to help out. Admins are important, sure, but without helpful editors, their spirits could eventually be easily crushed. No, not everyone is like that, but after seeing yet another innocent comment on a small wiki recently, again with the person not doing anything short of saying those stuff, I was annoyed (again.)

I'm really sorry that the statement is hurtful to you; there's a reason why I didn't namedrop anyone, because it really wasn't specifically about anyone, I just personally don't like the action (an action which in itself is super vague, and the word count limit just couldn't let me put out the whole thing.)

On a different note; I'm not sure how Seth calculated the votes prior to closing yours; but your blog analysis on HPW is super insightful (so insightful that I'm still digesting it lol,) initially I wasn't going to participate (I actually don't really care about Admin elections; I trust the current ones to make a decision that's best for the wiki,) but I have seen you making effort to help out, so I wouldn't have minded voting for (had I known the vote has started; still confused about that.)

Like I said, not sure where "5 users for and 4 against" came from, because rereading the thread, I'm actually getting "3 for and 1 against;" I think 2 of the commenters were illegible to vote either way, so I'm assuming my comment was probably counted as against, even though I have not explicitly said so. The comment was really about how I personally don't think the so-called reasons (brought up not by you) were concrete, I think you deserve a better defense but that was not it. (and maybe that's just me.)

I think if there's an Admin on HPW being just as active in the main wiki and the discussions, you will likely be that person, the first to achieve that. If I stick around long enough (I don't make promises I can't keep;) it'd be a pleasure of seeing that happen.
