Thanks Pete, I didn't expect to be mentioned and the sentiment is greatly appreciated. However, I don't think I'd be very qualified, at least compared to some of the others who have already offered themselves up for help. I've done relatively little editing on this site and know next to nothing about coding. There'd just be better people for the job.

I'm not sure if there's a limit to the number of admins this site can have but I don't think it should be more than a few. People are generally eager to help but it'd be bad to admit someone before they fully know what they're in for, for them and for the rest of the wikia. Being a staff member of any kind can be a draining and often thankless job. You'll have to be able to put the hammer down when members go against policies, even if it's someone you personally like. You're required to be the middleman when it comes to things like forum fights getting too out of hand. And you'll need to be able to not take things personally when it comes to dealing with misplaced anger from jilted members. For now it might be safer to go with the few who already have experience being a staff member and go from there.

With that being said, I also vote for NotShemp. He has already demonstrated his commitment to the wikia, consistently performing much need site maintenance and being a helpful and courteous member of the community. If he's up for it, I think he'd be a great admin.

(Also, do we have a page somewhere that lists the jobs of different wikia staff members? It might be helpful to have an easily accessible list of responsibilities for those who are interested in the job.)
