User blog comment:Herobrine&Withers/How do you become an Admin?/@comment-5762645-20140703112522

I can share my story of becoming an admin. I started off in very late 2013 when Dblcut3 posted about a project on the wiki (Project Recover) and he stated that he would be looking for applications for rollbacks. I applied, and got a job as a rollback. I was very happy as a chat mod, but I then realised I wanted to do so much with the wiki to improve it that was out of my capabilities as of then. Previously I would have to ask an admin to change something on an important page, like a simple spelling or grammar mistake, or even something quite big like an HTML/CSS formatting error. Back then, the admins had so much to do that they rarely had time to answer my questions. So I decided to ask Dblcut3 to become an admin. He replied with "I'll think about it". Many people, including Epic Steve Miner, campaigned to Dblcut3 to make me an admin. So he initiated a poll on the main page, asking people to vote for a new admin. I think the people who were put on the poll were King Shoot, myself, and 2 or 3 other people I can't remember. About a week passed and Dblcut3 allowed people to vote. I can still remember that fateful day when I got out of my car in my driveway, hooked onto my Wi-Fi, and checked my emails, to find an email from Wikia stating that "Dblcut3 has changed your user rights". I went on the wiki to find that I had become an admin, with the help of 6 votes. I was so excited, I made quite the reaction on the forum post outlining my success.

Ahh, nostalgia. I love it.
