In case both drop out, we will make a consensus thread choosing a new crat from the current pool of sysops and forward the discussion to Wikia. Wikia will then promote the sysop. I am quite familiar with the process as I have adopted wikis before. Is this how TombRaiser became an Bureaucrat? That's how Grandpa Timeoin became a Bureaucrat - because there was noone else (at the time) that was wanting to become an Admin. I put my hand up for Admin, because we needed an admin on here to go ahead with the merging of the two wikis, (but this is not relevant to the post).

I nominated Tomb Raiser for the position because I am not able to be online as often as I would have liked, and, well, she was the person people were going to with questions anyway. (I.e. people already kind of treated her as the "big boss admin", so it just formalised it somewhat.

In terms of practicality, though, they are exactly the same. The only difference is that, if say Flightmare (I use him as an example because he was the last admin to comment in this thread) went completely nuts and needed to be removed from adminship, TombRaiser or myself could do that. Otherwise - there is no difference at all.
