User blog:Drew1200/My Retirement

I know this is long, but I believe that what it has to say is very important. Please read.

Hey, guys. This wiki has been by far my favorite wiki I’ve been on (I’ve done about ten different ones, only three or four I’ve been extremely active on), but it’s been taking 100% of the time I have on the computer, and there are other things that I want to do even more. Ever since I joined this wiki, I’ve had a total blast, but I only get an hour a day (not every day even), and this wiki takes more time than that if I want to be a good admin. It’s been making it so that I can’t do things like make & play games, create movies, learn new computer languages of all kinds (though I have learned MediaWiki, and some HTML during this time), and, ironically, I haven’t been able to post on the MBs lately. I’ve decided that I’m going to semi-retire. What I mean by that is that I won’t be editing anymore. I may sometimes come on to check blogs, talk pages, and things like that, but no more of the time-consuming editing and experimenting. I would like to still keep my admin rights incase Legobatmankid goes inactive, or something, and also so I can help him out if needs it (you won’t have much trouble contacting me, it may just take a couple days), and if I want to, I may work on some photos and templates for the wiki, which I would need admin rights to create. It would also be helpful if something goes wrong that Legobatmankid doesn’t know how to/can’t fix. I think I would still be help there as I have researched MediaWiki much, and may be able to help. Since I’m leaving I would like to suggest that PepsiCola is promoted to Rollback to help with the editing more. I have a couple requests that I would like to be accepted. Please don’t change anything in the theme designer without my knowing previous to the changes (unless I go completely inactive, and haven’t been on for weeks). Also that no one be promoted or depromoted to any rank except for Rollback. Especially please do not mess with the Buraeucrat rights, because they cannot be reversed. Once it is changed, it cannot be changed again, and the user has complete power to take over the wiki and destroy, possibly even delete the wiki. Also that no rules be taken away without my knowing and approving (you can add new ones, though). I’m also requesting that I don’t become banned. And, please, obey and enforce the rules that I posted today. If there are some that you think are unfair, then please leave me a message. The page should be locked so that only admins can edit it. Before a rule is changed I think it would be fair for all buraeucrats having to agree on it. The same with adding new ones. I think that’s all for the requests. As I said, I won’t be completely inactive, I will still be checking up on a few people’s talk pages, blogs, and comments, as well as the Community message (which I may update), and all of the deletion categories. Thanks guys for being so much fun here, and also allowing Legobatmankid and I to become buraeucrats without you becoming one. You’ve been really kind. If you need me for an emergency, then please send me a post saying “Drew, I need you very bad. Rocko’s sitting on my toe” in the Human/Miner HQ on the LMBs. It may take as long, or longer for me to get it as it would for you to just leave me a message on my talk page, so make sure you do both. Thanks again for reading this, and being so nice here. It’s been a lot of fun, but I just don’t have the time to be a full time admin like I should. C-ya, guys.

I just found this on my laptop! I think it must be from when I went inactive seven times before last time that I went inactive. :P
