You're exaggerating. I only have 100.

Reports of my demise are greatly exaggerated.
Although I rarely if ever have time to come here anymore (unfortunately) I do receive an e-mail every time there is an edit to the wiki. Needless to say I saw a LOT of activity on the wiki the last day or two and decided to investigate (gotta keep away pesky spammers) and am very happy to see what's been done with it. This is the single largest effort put into it that I've seen since I first started it several years ago. This is exactly what I envisioned when I put it together. Kudos to JSD for all the hard work.
Regarding adding admins... To be honest I've been meaning to raise this point for quite some time, but after hitting 40 CRS set in and I never seem to think of it when I have the means to come here and say something about it. So now that I'm here, yes I think that would be a great idea. It always concerned me that people would think of the wiki as "mine" which was never the intention -- it was always meant to be a public community-owned resource. Having additional admins should help reinforce that. Plus it really should be maintained by the good people here.
Since this is a community resource, I'll open the floor to a vote on who should be added as admin. I have my thoughts on names but since I haven't been around here much lately I think others' voices should count more. My only request is that it be people who are passionate about building it and promoting it as a tool to help others.

Happy you're still around and apologies for all the emails I caused! hilarious
I'm sure any of the regular folks who have been around here for such a long time are great candidates, as long as they're willing to do it. Probably would help to be familiar with the wiki world, but it isn't too hard to pick up.

Ah shucks... I'd be happy to do it, as long as everyone feels comfortable with it. I know I certainly haven't put in all the time around here as many other folks.

I'd like to help out as well any way I can, sign me up as well! I'm up for the challenge.

S pages will have to wait a little longer, looks like my week is going to be insanely busy at work. I'll have to circle back around later in the week.

I agree jsd sounds like he will be a great admin. THere are a couple of very old degree plans from me, they all are very old and have too much info that is out of date, I would be happy to see them deleted.
and dcan if you think CRS is bad at 40 wait until you hit 60:roflol:
