Ah, but my name looks so good in gold!

In all seriousness, I'll be the first to admit I've been less than productive since been granted adminship, and the promotion was somewhat premature. I accepted the promotion at the time, despite the edit gap between myself and other admins, as it brought the active b'crat population up from 2 to a colossal 3, and was mainly to assist in administrative procedures if Awyman and Apprentice were unavailable. The lack of dedicated manpower meant there was simply no other suitable choice for promotion. And the edit gap would have closed pretty quickly had I continued editing at my TU rate; the timing has however been unfortunate.

Turbulent is a pretty good descriptor that I will now steal from you Yuri to illustrate my own situation. The last few years seems to have been nothing but an escalating series of financial and domestic crisis for me and the family, and my top priority goes to keeping a roof over my head, closely followed by my studies and personal medical issues. In addition to this, the motivation for editing has been further scuppered by the lacklustre nature of the most recent Battlefield games. When it comes down to it, the Wiki is a hobby we have turned into work, and that work becomes exponentially more difficult once the hobby itself feels like a chore.

Ultimately these are little more than excuses in the face of the fact that I have indeed fell short of expectations. I don't intend to abandon the wiki anytime soon, and will seize the opportunity to redeem myself, but if it is in the best interests of the community then I will unquestionably accept a demotion.

Hey, now that there's actually people editing again, we could have a vote on it!
