Hey Bell, I'm back. All went well, my aunt is doing much better now and the family had a good get-together.

We just had another annoying vandal attack this morning. We (a couple other users, a VSTF member, and I) were able to kick their butt, but getting rid of the Message Wall spam was trickier. I was easily able to remove that code that prevents you from accessing a page using my f12 dev console (just cut off the head div, everything else went with it lol), but once I did I realized I can't actually edit or remove anything, so I was useless there. I had to message the VSTF member on the VSTF wiki and have them remove the spam.

In lieu of that, and the fact that I'm sure we will see many more like this (and VSTF can't always be around either), I think it's time for me to request adminship here. There's only so much time the two of you can be around, and having three of us with proper abilities would cover a lot more ground, so to speak. I can also help out more directly on renaming images, which is a huge project that I think needs to be done eventually, and now seems like as good of time as any. I'd also be able to work with the CSS and JS directly when needed, which is a lot easier than by proxy.

I'm not really sure how to go about it though. What's the procedure usually? Considering we only have one active 'crat and one admin, do the "official" rules here even apply fully anymore? This just seems like a limbo-y kind of situation...

Whatever you and Bmo think is best...
