BebopKate - This one is Zazzles...because he's Zazzy! TALK - Here's your cat...and here's your $20...02:54, 23 June 2009 (UTC) Hey guys. A lot of folks seem rather concerned as a number of mods and admins will not be available for most or part of the summer due to vacations, patriotic duties, and so on. Things are probably going to be low key, since Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days has been pushed back to September, but it still probably couldn't hurt to have an extra hand or two around. In fact, we'll probably need more after 358/2 Days comes out anyway. Let me make this clear: this topic is not to nominate Mods. Based on our last voting and the Community List, I think we have a few eligible individuals already. This topic is more to discuss if the wiki as a whole feels more are needed, and if so, how many. And all in one convenient location, rather than spread among the talk pages. How handy! So...discuss!

We already have dedicated contributors but if everyone else feels like that we need more mods, then I guess we need more mods. BebopKate, sorry again. I think I'll just send you an e-mail. But you should still visit sometimes, I'm there practically every day.

Yer mom - SOMOS HOMBRES O PAYASOS!!!! TALK - 15:09, 23 June 2009 (UTC) Well as you said, mods don't really have any special abilities, rollback magic isn't that magical unless a vandal really messed with a page and that still can be reverted by a normal user. I guess it would be nice for users to have a list of people they can go to if they're cute newbies in the wiki and don't know how to create a nice talk bubble or something like that (but we already have one of those in the Help:Beginner's Userpage thingie...) Perhaps add a couple of mods and upgrade one or two of the current mods to adminship? But well... as Angela once said, the more the merrier XD

Yer mom - SOMOS HOMBRES O PAYASOS!!!! TALK - 15:28, 23 June 2009 (UTC) The problem is, we only have three rollbackers and the three of them are or will be away, TNE will be back until september, I think Ultima returns in a few days (he could be an option but I'm not too sure >.>) and GS will be away as well, hence the idea of promoting new mods

Yer mom - SOMOS HOMBRES O PAYASOS!!!! TALK - 16:06, 23 June 2009 (UTC) Har... it's been a while since I read that XD!! Thanks for fixing that space in my template btw. I still think we could always promote someone to adminness and add a mod or two, they may be unnecessary and it may just a title but well, IMO some deserve it.

Azul81677 - "Ebil minds think ebily alike." - A collaboration between 2 very ebil minds TALK - 23:05, 23 June 2009 (UTC) I got to thinking.....I mean really, when was our last actual vandal that got out of hand? I can't recall. What are we going to need help with that me or BebopKate can't already do? I don't see anything. We seem fine now. I'm sure I'll be able to manage with BebopKate away for a short while. And if the current active editors help out, when everyone gets back, we "might" consider more Mods. But I don't think we need more Admins/staff right now. We already have enough inactive.

BebopKate - This one is Zazzles...because he's Zazzy! TALK - Here's your cat...and here's your $20...00:03, 24 June 2009 (UTC) ILHI and Azul make good points about our relative activity, and looking over the rough dates that people have posted, none of us really overlap enough that we'll all be gone at some point; otherwise I'd be more concerned. I'm fine with leaving things at the status quo for the moment, then.
