First things first, let me get something straight. In March of last year, as most of you probably know, our bureaucrat, LabRatsFan123, went inactive for a long time. During this period, he never demoted himself. By the time we realized that he did need to be demoted, it was too late, and chaos broke loose. Now, during the year and nearly 3 months of his inactivity, Bionicforce adopted the wiki. Unfortunately, Bionic continuously started going inactive. It seems that every few months he'd leave, only to come back as soon as a demotion request was being set up. Now, Bionic, I mean no offense to you if you're reading this, but I think you really should be demoted this time. This is because you keep going inactive and have not seemed to demonstrate the correct leadership skills to keep the wiki together. Finally, we have way too many b-crats. This is because Bionic promoted Duggie before he went inactive. Duggie promoted Will because Bionic was inactive, and then Duggie and Will started becoming active less and less, so they promoted me. This created an issue where we had five b-crats: LRF, whose b-crat rights we were unaware had not already been removed for quite a few months, Bionic, constantly going inactive, only coming back really to delete demotion threads, Duggie and Will, going inactive more and more, and me, coming on basically every day, still deeply caring for the wiki. Anyways, this is how it remained, until it finally hit me, Duggie, and Will that we really needed to demote LRF. So we set up a demotion thread, but the unfortunate results led to Will quitting. Happily, a month later, LRF returned and said he would still be coming on the wiki from time to time, ending any madness for the time being. If Bionic is demoted, we will have the much more reasonable number of three b-crats, all worthy to be b-crats in terms of leadership and activity. Now, while three crats is more reasonable for a typical wiki, two b-crats works even better. I am in no way saying that LRF, Bionic, me, and Duggie should all demote to regular users, but that Bionic, whose activity is not very much these days, should be demoted by CC to regular user. If he does come back, however, Bionic is free to demote himself to plain admin. As for LRF, since he is more active, it is up to him if he stays b-crat or demotes to admin. The same goes for me and Duggie. If you think we should do the LRF as regular admin/me and Duggie as b-crats/Bionic as regular user or regular admin if he comes back thing, then vote Support. If you don't, vote oppose. And if you vote neither, vote neutral. There is one week until voting ends.
