If we keep playing like Obama in here (our way or the highway/Meh who cares) we are not going to get anything accomplished and be able to compete out there with other wikis on wikia. Our peak rank amongst all the wikis on wikia was 190 and at this moment ranks 929 and continues dropping. We have a chance to go up and all the potential for it but if we keep playing the "I dont know game" and give the option of "I dont know" then it is obvious we need to replace people on this administration and sooner or later. I tell the adminstration this: This community will look into the option deeply of starting to one by one replace people who can not make decisions with ones who can and have the best in sight for this place and not ones on the fence who are not willing to take risks or make bold moves. We are not taking moves and the administration simply can not say or use the excuse "well then why dont you guys make a request" when there are still so many unfinished SSC requests. People like Johnny Goldtimbers and Bobby Moon are going to be the ones that replace as they are the ones who make bold moves around here and decisive ones at that while the others who sit on the fence waste away. In this modern day this site has defaulted to neutrality and least amount of activity coming back again. The administration of this community when being promoted was entrusted with not just the rights of enforcing and voting on rules, but to progress and continue expanding this site, which the past 3 administrations overall failed to do, that including, the current one. We have to have staffers willing to make bold decisions even if criticised for it. If you are afraid of being criticised, and losing favor/popularity with the community, then frankly I have no clue why you are on it. We have people users and not trying to bring back this site to what it was and then some, but this on the fence attitude is what keeps us from getting there and will only contribute to us stayin g where we are now. Are we much more active than before? OH OF COURSE.... but we are still on the verge of tipping back with no chance of improvement with the on the fence attitude. We need to make bold decisions or we will fail in competing against the other wikis out there.


 * 1) Never mentioned a fear of criticism anywhere… but k
 * 2) It's not solely up to the administrators to expand the wiki; that requires cooperation from everybody. It takes wiki-wide motivation, not a group of users with extra buttons saying "You will enjoy and expand dis place and you will liek it >:c"
 * 3) I have no doubt that Gio and Bawb will eventually make the admin team, but trying to scare us with "you'll be replaced" part for simply wanting the right to be neutral seems silly to me.
 * 4) "Other matters" have no relevance here. Still, if you think we're not trying to do what's best, perhaps you could tell us what is best for this place. :3
 * Why, why, why is everyone so obsessed with this whole competition mindset? We're an online encyclopedia, and you're talking about competing with others
