Hello everyone!

Since my joining of the Geometry Dash Wiki over a year ago, we have seen immeasurable progress from a pile of scattered pages, spam, and not much else to really speak of, to a comprehensive database and social hub of Geometry Dash. Today, we sit among some of the highest rated Wikia wikis according to our WAM score as you can see here. 98, at the time of posting this thread, and in our Games category, we sit beside top game wikis like Halo, Clash of Clans, World of Warcraft, Sims and Terraria to name a few. That is fantastic! You guys being active here, editing heaps and clearly attracting a great many readers is why we can boast this achievement. As a staff member, I thank you all for being a part of the project. As Hackey5, I thank you all for giving me a cool place to hang out because it is a community of awesome people who make it all worthwhile. It's seriously amazing the place we've got here. ^_^

As the title states, I am now looking to apply for bureaucrat rights. This is mainly since RaonicHero, our only current bureaucrat, isn't actually current anymore as he has been inactive for over two months now. The last thing he did in fact do was promote Nusdan to administrator, and it feels like he's been with us for a lifetime now! Promoting users to administrator is pretty well the only thing a bureaucrat can do if you go into the technical side of things. Some may regard it as being the 'owner' of a wiki, but the way I see it, you have the local staff who are caretakers, the editors the residents, and the wiki a house being rented out by the landlord, Wikia. A bureaucrat is merely a caretaker who recruits other caretakers and doesn't own the house as much as anyone else living in it does.

Like primetime has shown you how to do in some of his threads, you may type  or   to decide whether I'd be suitable for applying for bureaucrat rights. Nothing really changes other than the possibility of receiving new administrators sooner. Do be honest, and also include any suggestions for improvement so I can be more productive in the future. Thanks.
