User blog:Detective SkullWolf/Serious Business!!!! (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻

As much as I regret being the bearer of bad news (or good news if you don't like me, in which case feel free to celebrate privately), but I thought it was time that I announce my retirement from adminship and the wiki in general. Now, you may immediately call me out and say I'm joking or planning to change my mind like I've done in the past, '''except I'm not. You can tell because I'm using bold text to both illustrate and emphasize how serious I am. '''

(This next paragraph is a bit of a rant (understatement detected), so feel free to ignore if you don't want to read it)

In the past, I came back because I truly thought that there was still hope for this wiki. You see, I never did and still have not given up on this wiki. I believe that this place has the potential to better itself and become a respectable community. I used to think that I and the staff were the only ones at fault because we weren't trying hard enough. The majority of staff rarely are visible now because they "don't know most of the new users", despite me suggesting many, many times to try and get to know them better by either making introductory/ask-me-some-questions blogs or to visit the chat more frequently. It still baffles me how the admins have essentially isolated themselves from everyone else. However, now I think that many of the common users are also suitable to place the blame on. For every user that actively participates on wiki issues, voting blogs, discussions, ideas, suggestions, and whatnot (you know who you are and I commend you for your participation), there are about five to ten users that simply make pages, roleplay, and/or get on chat and then do little more than that. I know that nobody is obligated to help out with everything that happens on this wiki, but it would not kill you people to acknowledge that you are still a part of this community (a word that I will cautiously use from this sentence onward as I now find it rather unfitting for this wiki) and maybe voting every once in awhile. Hell, I can only think of one immediate replacement for my position because hardly anyone participates to the point where I would seriously acknowledge them as a candidate for my place as admin. A lot of the things that I enjoyed seeing on this wiki have been ruined because nobody participates anymore (i.e. the SFW Awards, contests, and critique requests (especially this, as most of Smash's characters have gone without a single comment)). So in conclusion, I am not giving up on this wiki, but I am giving up on you, the community (again, cautiously being used here), or at least the ones who don't seem to care and probably didn't even read this blog.

Rant aside, that isn't my only reason to leave. I also have real life to be concerned about. Between dating, applying for college, and high school graduation being just around the corner, my hands are full.

So yes, I am leaving. Now to explain the terms of my departure: If you want to still to talk to me after I leave, then I suggest you get on chat and PM me for my Skype account as soon as possible. That is all I have to say.
 * As of the moment this blog is posted, I relinquish my admin duties. A 'crat will be needed to demote me. If you're curious as to who I want to take my place, it's Akrivus. I immediately recommend him for the position, but someone else will need to make the blog cause I'm not going to bother.
 * Only the pages of my possession that I mark are to be deleted. The ones that are remaining are either my joke characters (Corn Dog shall live on forever) or part of a group that me and my close friends made (it would be an insult to them if I deleted those characters). The reason for most of my pages being deleted is because a majority of my characters were actually placeholders for information concerning future stories I planned to write and perhaps publish.
 * I will have disappeared on an unmarked date. You will not be given any sign that I have left, except for the fact that I will suddenly have stopped editing.
 * I will still be making periodic edits to pages that remain. I may even make a page or two or perhaps new pictures every now and then (I still owe Starz and Minato a couple of characters pages. >.>;). However, I will not be answering any talk pages, messages, or blogs, so don't bother.
 * To Scorps, if I have already left before your contest has ended, then do me a favor and have Monica's page deleted after it is over.
 * To Smash, your review will still be made (and sorry for not having gotten it done on Christmas, I was dealing with things in real life). I thank you for your seemingly infinite patience with me and I hope to get it done soon. Right now, I have to get it reworded and add in a bit more detail before I'm completely done.
 * Most important of all: My departure is non-negotiable. I am leaving and that is that. Please respect my decision.
