Aleroth: If you're still following this thread, I've noticed that you seem to think very highly of Founders. In case this hasn't been pointed out yet, I want to share this information with you:


 * 'The "founder" of a wiki is the person who first created the wiki. Founders do not have any special authorities within the wiki and they do not own the wiki that they founded. They simply created it first.'

^From Help:Founders

In case that isn't clear enough, let me be more direct:
 * 1) Nobody owns a wiki, not even the founder: Community Central:Ownership
 * 2) A founder is just the person who clicked the Create a wiki button.
 * 3) Founders do not "outrank" anybody. It is not a rank.
 * 4) Founders automatically receive bureaucrat and administrator rights at the time they create the wiki, and are not guaranteed to have those rights forever.
 * 5) Active founders on Wikia are quite rare. Most founders abandon their wiki or give their rights to someone else, that is quite normal.
 * 6) Founders are not more "honorable" or "highly esteemed" than other editors.
 * 7) Founders do not generally have the authority to override decisions made by the active community and administration.
