<p>I would like to announce to the community that I am officially resigning from my staff position. I simply don't have the time nor interest to properly perform my duties as bureaucrat here any longer. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time serving this wiki the past several years, and making it the best source for GTA myths on the web. I will always appreciate the experiences I had here, and the interesting users I have known and had the pleasure of talking to in the chat. </p><p>I don't intend to permanently leave the wiki, as I plan to still lurk around from time to time and make occasional edits. I have confidence that the current site administration will uphold the policy as faithfully as I have. </p><p>Its been a pleasure being a part of this great community, and I wish you all the best. </p>

<p>Hey wiki, 5 users were recently promoted (3 to patroller, 2 to admin positions) I chose the 3 patrollers: MilitiaForce, .unknowncommander and Filip13021996 because I think they can handle the positions and seem trustworthy. MilitiaForce (his older accounts: AndreyFD and SuperMythGangsta) has brought a lot to the wiki in the past and I was happy to reinstate him, the drama that happend in the past did not pull me back at all. The 2 new patrollers I'm sure will be just great too. </p><p>The 2 reinstated administrators are TheIndepedent40 and Gunshow20, both were admins before, great admins who have brought a huge amount of work to the wiki are very respected by me and rest of the community, I was surely happy to repromote them. </p><p>With this thread, my point was to inform the wiki what was happening, so I hopefully don't confuse Sasquatch101 and Boomer8. </p><p>That is it. Thanks for the attention. </p>

<p>After 2 years on this wiki, all the edits I made and all the achievements I got here, it is time to say goodbye. </p><p>I am not leaving this wiki, because of all that drama that happened here, the staff here, but that I just lost all interest in myths, and have many personal things to come. </p><p>I won't write anything long, just information why. The time spent here was good. Farewell! </p><p>EDIT: I forgot to remove my tags, can someone do that for me? </p>

<p>After a lot of mess we went through the last few days, I want to confirm my and on the behalf of the entire staff, solidarity with our Bureaucrats: Sasquatch101 and Boomer8, these guys have gone through a lot of conspiracies like this since the start but they've always protected GTA Myths Wiki from external conspiracies. The current conspiracy against them is of very little intensity compared to the past uncalled hatred they've gone through from sockpuppets and meatpuppets. </p><p>I confirm that neither me nor TheIndepedent40, my co-admin, are in awe of anything. We're simple editors, editing for years and could edit for years to come. Both of us, together with Inten (our emerging patroller) are a strong staff that won't tolerate any kind of misuse with the wiki. All editors are encouraged to edit and observe civility. Personally, I appreciate the work done by Boomer8 for the wiki which is very sad being questioned right now by sockpuppets. His mythical art consisting of Goatman, North Yankton Creature and Swamp Monster have reached heights of popularity on YouTube and other websites. Not only Boomer8, but all users that have contributed to myths wiki have made this wiki the sole documented source of all GTA Myths, evident from every Youtube GTA myth video you see today which cites only us and some of them even include photographs and complete article screenshots from our wiki. Whether we're in their good or bad books is obviously up to them that's why we appreciate different non-hostile expressions. Thanks for your time reading the thread. I hope we all further expand the wiki. </p>

<p>For those of you who may be confused why Mantiix is back on the Staff page - I have promoted him back to Admin at his request. If you have any questions feel free to ask here. </p>

<p>Hey there! Recently, two of our Admins, One True Slash and AwesomeBoy were globally blocked for... Well... Doing some crazy stuff in the CCC. It is not known when they will be unblocked, if ever. Please stand by, and wait for those smartasses to come back. </p>

<p>Hello all staffers.  </p><p>Today, I saw that one of our admins Mantiix is globally blocked, I asked on cc for the reason why he is blocked and they told that <span style="font-weight:normal;color:white;font-size:14px;">Global block reasons are only shared between Staff and the blocked user, not with other users. If Mantiix wants to know why was he globally blocked, he should </span>contact Staff<span style="font-weight:normal;color:white;font-size:14px;"> about it.</span> </p><p>So, are we going to wait for the wikia staffs or take some action on it? (I know we cannot do anything since this is the matter between the wikia staff and Mantiix). </p>

<p>To anyone who hasn't kept track of the wiki as of now, the chat has been updated with completely new features and custom designs. Try them out while you can. New features will be added soon. </p><p>Note : The PMs are currently not safe to use as multi-pm is now available to be used anytime without an user's notice. Any arguments started from multi-pm are to not to be blamed on me. Avoid using the PM until it is further looked upon. </p>

<p>I have noticed most users that were a part of this project have gone inactive thus, I think we all should discuss with each other on who's gonna be on who's group again (a group cleanup actually). My team had Matthew who's dead so I can't keep him in my group any longer. Feel free to join my group (message me before though). </p>

<p>The reason why I am highlighting some of the old threads is because I have noticed there are lots of 'em which have no replies at all. And since I don't have permission to remove those as that would be stupid (continue reading and I'll say the reason for that too), I highlight 'em. </p><p>Now the reason why I feel it would be stupid to remove old, dead threads (with no replies though) is 'cause maybe the thing that I'm highlighting is something that the current branch of active users here never saw or heard of. Heck, they could even get something to investigate on at least. Plus, on the fact that new myths are hard to find, it's also applicable to find 'possible' new myths in old threads and thus, here's the reason(s) on why I am suddenly on a highlighting spree. </p>

<p>So I have been busy making most of the templates used on pages have the same color scheme. What do you think? </p><p><del>{{Stub}}</del> </p> <div class="boilerplate metadata" id="delete" style="background-color:#101810;"><table><td><div class="floatnone"></div></td> <td><small>This article requires one or more new images.

<p>As per the CNB, some pages are needed to be renamed. From browsing Special:AllPages, these are the ones I found. I'm not a patroller anymore, so I am very limited when it comes to page renames. If a staff member could fix it, it would be nice. </p> <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="List">List</span></h3> <table border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" class="article-table" style="float: left; width: 500px;"><tr><th scope="col">Original name </th><th scope="col">What it should be </th><th scope="col">Extra comments </th></tr><tr><td>Aliens in GTA San Andreas </td><td>Aliens (GTA San Andreas) </td><td>The page Aliens in GTA V should also be renamed to Aliens (GTA V). </td></tr><tr><td>Bigfoot in GTA San Andreas </td><td>Bigfoot (GTA San Andreas) </td><td>All other Bigfoot pages should also be renamed to follow the parenthetical format.

<p>Hey, I wanna ask, if there is a possibility to make "Are you sure to kick this user" in *.css, just because yesterday I unintentionally kicked TFG from chat, when I wanted to PM him. And if it is, shall I put request on CNB? </p>
