User blog:Bantha117/Bantha's Biggest, Best, & Brightest Berfday Blog

'Lo there. Perhaps the alliteration intrigued you. I'm so glad you could join us today.

So, as some of you may know (or have guessed), this is my birthday. Now, I didn't say anything about it because I wanted to make a blog about it myself. You'll see why in a minute. I have something to say while I've got your attention.

You see, this is going to be more than a birthday blog. I'm not going to be selfish. If you really want to yank my chain about being a year older, please do so here. There's something else I want to get to. You could call it my birthday wish, if you like.

Now, I have talked to Coupe about this, and while he thinks maybe this shouldn't happen yet, I figured I ought to ask for your opinion about this. This wiki is all of ours, in a sense. You get a say.

The "Problem" (so to speak)
There is a shortage of higher-powered, active staff members. As of today, we have one admin, and one particularly active Bureaucrat. And they do a great job, don't get me wrong. But they can't always be here. Loyg lives 6 hours away from the nearest U.S. time-zone, and though not everyone is American here, a large portion of the main community is from this hemisphere. Coupe is a busymun in college. He's an adult and has got to do adult-y things. This leaves a sort of gap. Sometimes we need someone higher up and we can't get access to one.

Solution?
Now, if you agree with that last point, then you know the best idea is to promote someone else. In my humble opinion, there's one particular person who's best for the job. So here's where the birthday wish comes in.

I would like Firebrand795 to be promoted.

We all know her. We all like/love her. We know she does great as a chat mod. And with her new computer, she could actually use her powers.

Some of you might think this leaves a gap in chat mods. However, DWAS was just recently promoted. If that doesn't cut it for you, we could always put Wonder at BTTF's level, and give him mod powers.

If you want Fire (or Lexi, if you prefer) promoted, or if you don't or are neutral, please leave your thoughts in the comments below, and I'll add you to the blog. I'll only count Users who have been here at least 2 (perhaps 1) month(s). I cannot guarantee you anything will come out of this, this is just to see everyone's opinion. If this gets enough Support, it might convince Staff to promote her.

Thank you for your time.
