 * If you don't mind, I'd appreciate it if you could address the ad placement problem that I posted--[[Image:Marcopolo47 signature new.jpg]] (Talk) (Contr.) 19:40, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

I'd like to let you know that as aggressive as i seem, i actually harbor a fair bit of respect for you. I understand your job is to speak to us and keep us informed, and people in your position often get the jerks(Such as myself) barking at you. You've handled it well and you keep your cool.--D N A 00:38, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I appreciate your sentiment, and likewise I understand your position as well. GuildWiki still has a great community, and at this point we're really trying to support it in any way possible.  For the time being, however, it really seems like the best course of action is just to try to maintain the status quo with as few changes as possible.  For support reasons, it was necessary migrate to the main Wikia code, and it will be necessary to merge the user database as well, but other than that we're trying to kind of just leave everything as is ... which meant changing back to the old theme. --KyleH (talk) 06:44, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
 * On that note, when exactly will the databases be merged? A ballpark estimate would be fine. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 06:46, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I believe that it will be this week, but I do not know that for certain. I'll check on that and post an update when I have more information. --KyleH (talk) 07:38, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
 * That would be great, thanks for taking the time. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 07:41, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

A little assistance
Hello KyleH,

I am not quite sure who is the proper person to contact about this, but I figure since you're basically our PR-with-Wikia guy I may as well notify you. Something seems to have changed without anyone noticing, but as Bureaucrat I have lost my powers to remove adminship and more generally my access to the user rights adjustment form. All I can do is promote people; only "staff" and "Stewards" can set bot status, desysop, set staff flags, etc. This is a problem for two reasons: (1) the position of Bureaucrat becomes quite a bit weaker without equal power to promote and unpromote (it makes GW:ADMIN not work so well); and (2) with all due respect, it is my authority and not Wikia's that should be handling user rights, as the Wikia staff are not qualified to make such decisions, being mostly uninvolved with the community and the general state of things beyond technical issues. (That being said though, since they are your servers, bot status may be your domain. Not sure.)

Thanks for your time, and I hope you can forward this to the relevant authorities. I continue to appreciate your patience with us. :)
