Again, I would've given you those rights. Making a five word blog post on your own profile hardly equates to making an attempt to inform the sitting bureaucrat of a wiki that you're about to pursue a course of action that will strip them of their ownership of said wiki.

I actually got an email when you made that blog post. I still get emails every time someone does something on this wiki, because I care about it. But I thought it was perfectly obvious that no one else was active on this wiki, and didn't interpret your vague, ill-placed blog post as urgent at all.

Frankly, I want admin rights back because I made this wiki when I was eleven. There's a lot of emotional attachment here bro. I've been here since 2008. I spent at least the first year here alone until other people were attracted to this wiki through (I assume) random Google searches. I watched the rise and fall of this wiki at least three times, every time a few people showed interest in this wiki and revived it for a bit and subsequently lost interest and left.

I also want my rights back because I know you'll be like the others and eventually go inactive yourself. You will. Why wouldn't you? Again, no one is active here anymore. There's no community to drive interest. Croc as a canon has been dead for fifteen (?) years now - there's no more content to write about. Seriously, try writing articles on enemies that appear for two seconds in the unpopular Gameboy port of Croc. I did. I spent six years trying to keep this wiki growing with no reasonable way for it to do so. I've noticed that you're writing articles on the cellphone game levels. That's great. I think that's literally the only thing left to write about on this wiki, because I never had access to those versions. How long do you think writing about the phone ports of Croc will motivate you to stick around? When you're gone, I want to know that this wiki is still mine. Even if I'll never be bureaucrat again - once more, thanks for that.

I think that pretty much answered your question, but to put it bluntly - no, I will not spend a lot of time editing here again. I have college to do, and this is pointless. If Argonaut miraculously got back together and made another Croc game, I'm sure I'd return in an instant and write furiously every detail about it (after I finished crying and thanking the stars or whatever). I probably could rewrite some articles if I felt like it- a lot of pages here I can tell were written by 12, 13, 14 year old me, and could probably handle some revision. But again, I can't really think of any pressing reason to do so. After I post this maybe I'll do some, since I'm already here.

Finally, what reason do you have for withholding admin rights from me? A sense of spite? That would be unwarranted, but I have no idea who you are and this might very well be all the reason you need. Are you worried I'll take the rights and utterly fuck up the site? I managed to not do that for the 9ish years I was an admin. Are you unaware that you can retain your rights while giving me mine? What loss would it be to you? Knowing that I was the admin here before (and the founder), you should've done it as soon as I made a reappearance here.

Please, Gobbos. You'd be doing me a solid and I'd really appreciate it.
