How about me? I think I've done quite a bit ... -Tene

And if you can call my total blitzing of the discography with wonderful Musey treasures and pics from around the world helping out... :D ۞ 17:21, 24 September 2006 (BST)

Star shape weirdo here has my backing, if that counts for anything. ;) --Tene 18:01, 24 September 2006 (BST)
There we go :D welcome to the team :D --crazybobbles 20:48, 24 September 2006 (BST)
Muchly appreciated :) ۞ 16:25, 27 September 2006 (BST)

How about me? (if spontaneous renovation counts as helping a lot) 7 20:06, 13 January 2008 (GMT)

Read below, though I'm considering making you a sysop, just give it time --crazybobbles 11:36, 19 February 2008 (GMT)


New members

I don't know where to post this, this might look pretentious or whatever but anyway, thanks a lot crazybobbles. Glad to belong to the team :) --Susurr0 12:37, 19 February 2008 (GMT)

Indeed, many thanks! ۞ 18:44, 19 February 2008 (GMT)

Inactivity

Almost half of those listed here aren't active, and haven't been for some time. I suggest some sort of seperate inactive/hiatus list for those whom are not active. That's basically all apart from ۞, Crazybobbles, Mrmadadam and myself. --Tene 18:38, 13 April 2007 (BST)

Yup, perhaps a special mention for those who helped set up he place to begin with, while it was secret. ۞ 00:16, 14 April 2007 (BST)

Should we bother having this?

Perhaps a quick template showing you're awesome on your profile would suffice, but it's not like anyone reads this bit haha and it kinda confuses the wiki vibe, I think anyone who's contributed should simply be given a sysop status for being responsible enough --crazybobbles 11:36, 19 February 2008 (GMT)

With all due respect to those who you deem responsible, the idea more adminships for more potentially "corruptable" people would be, I think, dangerous. Especially with such a small wiki, we now have three-four active admins. There's simply no point in giving more people the ability to screw everything up for whatever reason; bitterness, disagreement, etc.
This is a "ceremonial" title that might motivate people. Plus it's a way of saying "thanks", but if adminship is given as an incentive to contribute, then the wrong people will end up with sysop status.
..and to 'bobbles: Good choice of admins, btw --Tene 18:08, 19 February 2008 (GMT)
I wouldn't start adding any tom dick or harry as sysops, it's for those I feel would actually be able to utilise the status to improve the wiki. Of course any form of screwing up can all be reversible and the offending person can be banned immediately ;) I suppose keeping this here can have it's uses for saying thank you for their hardwork (and we like thanking people :)) I guess it's best for my to rewrite it so it actually says something about it then --crazybobbles 21:09, 5 March 2008 (GMT)

Wow.

I know I'm relatively new to Musewiki, but I'm pretty sure that this page is severely outdated. Regret Tenenbaum 21:05, 15 March 2008 (GMT)

Why? Feel free to nominate those who have contributed in the order of that which those who are already listed have done.... --Tene 06:00, 16 March 2008 (GMT)

Okay so basically we have no mods

Tene hasn't contributed since 2012

۞ hasn't contributed since 2010

The rest are obviously inactive


Some of these people listed aren't even mods

Some people who are mods aren't listed on this page (and EVEN THEN, ALL OF THOSE UNLISTED PEOPLE ARE DEAD TOO)

Does this mean there's literally no mods besides crazybobbles (who even then isn't super active, but at the very least alive)? - Commenter of Comments (talk) 07:27, 15 October 2018 (BST)

Yes --Ncla (talk) 11:31, 15 October 2018 (BST)
Aside from Crazybobbles, no admin has contributed to this site in any way whatsoever since before the release of Drones. To add onto this, after adding over 3500 edits over the course of the five-ish years I've been here, in addition to monitoring the site daily and discovering over 150 unknown setlists and creating the single largest site-wide expansion in years, I requested administrator permissions and I was denied. There is unlikely to be any change in this any time soon.
Only once during my duration here has someone been promoted, and that person became inactive only a matter of months later and has never been heard from since. I'll admit that it made me reconsider the work I put into here, and after my request was turned down in early September, I've effectively quit this site. I can only do so much and put in so much time. GameGear360 (talk) 20:50, 15 October 2018 (BST)
If I had the chance to jump ship, I would, but unfortunately, there's not much choice. cloned a while ago MuseWiki pages to see how easy it was to upgrade and get your own wiki running, and it was pretty easy. I really wish crazybobbles would just hand the keys to someone else who actually has interest in running it, or at least embrace it partially.
That got me thinking. Since we are of very little here and I do not see it changing soon, what about a peaceful protest of not contributing? The whole reason I pushed crazybobbles to upgrade MediaWiki is to get fancier editor, but the editor hasn't happened yet, and it makes my head boil when I have to edit with an editor from 2008 or something.
Okay, just making sure, we all realize that this site having basically no moderators is really really bad, right? - Commenter (talk) 21:35, 15 October 2018 (BST)
