1. You have to have experience on this site (in other words, you can't be an admin when you're not even a month into signing up).

2. Don't be a troll, have a good record on here, edit the encyclopedia and help the community improve itself....DNL likes that.

3. When you have enough experience (say 6 months or so), put up a lockerroom post requesting to be an admin and then the public and of course the founders give a vote of confidence.

4. Try convincing Falcon02520 to say yes...he thinks there are too many admins (30 to be exact).

That's about it Tebowfanatic.

Oh yeah, there is an alternate route, but it involves going to New York and playing a game of strip poker.

Right now, as of this very moment, I think they're about 8-10 admins that are active, not a wikia staffer, and not Patrickburke or MJD. For now, I think we have more than enough general admins, maybe a bit under for link admins (maybe not, I'm not one so I don't know how much traffic they get), and probably right on for comment admins.

However, when traffic goes up (late summer-winter), the number of users goes up, and it becomes about right all around. It's about having a variety of users with different schedules (maybe more admins that aren't students?) so that if something comes up, we can handle it quickly.

I remember when most of the active admins were either gone or not admins, it was a beast of a job for me to have to delete the junk, protect pages, and help take care of trolls. I didn't do the best job, but it wasn't easy to do without help. Point being, having a plethora of admins is not bad.

Link admins are fine FP, but if you want to be one, ask Dan, I think you'd be fine. its an easy job, but you can forget about it pretty easily ; - )

With that being said...anyone who sees me around and wants their link approved, feel free to send me a message and I'll do it

I almost (99% of the time) approve y'all's links because i know you...

but there are also ones from other lesser known users...and spam...but if i get a link from, say FP, i pretty much click to see the link works and then approve...

that may not be the proper way, but I find it easier ; - )

Someone should message I am a cpcp and tell him that Jamel is no longer on this site, there are no more trolls, and that everything is (just about) back to normal. He is/was a great person and a great contributor to the site, as well as a good person to talk to.

maybe Justin, I wasn't sure exactly how much traffic the links got. It's not something I've given a whole lot of attention to, so I just guessed. But again, too many admins is better than too few

Disregard Step 4... It is simply SS's attempt to make a joke because I was against adding him as an administrator. Alas, it made no difference and some fourteen year old now has authority on this site...

I think it'd be cool to be able to delete player pages when we have duplicates. That's about all I would want it for. I hate responsibility in all its forms.

I could (and thanks for your help, by the way), but I'd rather not bother you with that. And that way I'd be able to get immediate results while working on project, instead of waiting for your crazy Kuwait time to catch up. I'm just saying, it'd be nice, I'm not trying to campaign for admin or anything. If you want to make me one, though, that's cool too.

Wrong... Anybody can claim to be anybody if it is Anonymous. All I have to do is make some clever little remark. Then add a few sentences. And top it off with a stupid little ...

Now, all of the sudden I am falcon who forgot to log in... think at your own will...

Being a Site Admin of any site is work. And responsibility. Be careful what you wish for.

Tebow, it's like a MLB player asking: "How can I get into the Hall of Fame?" First of all, you have to earn the right to become an admin. You have to be considered a role model to many users on the site, and you should be someone to depend on. All those things, and many more characteristics, get you into an elite club called the "Admins of AGM"... or as we like to call them: sysops.
