Tom? Aurora? May I have a word with you?

Tom and Aurora

How may I become a Sysop? I'd really appriciate it if you'd reply.

Welcome

Dear Tim/Sanjuro/Balmung—I'll call you whatever you want to be called—you're not fooling anybody, but that's okay. I suggest we put the earlier craziness behind us and start over. So... welcome to the Homestar Runner wiki! One thing to note is that even regular users are good sources of information. I see that you're interested in becoming a sysop. Becoming an admin, as they're also called, is a good goal to have, but it doesn't happen overnight. Basically, you start out at the bottom of the totem pole, and work your way up. Over time, people will begin to notice your edits; you'll want to make good ones. If you do, gradually a sense of trust will develop between you and the wiki community. In the meantime, fight trolls, add good fun facts, monitor pages for bad edits, help out with the maintenance of the site, learn the ins and outs of the software. Undertake a worthwhile project (but, as I'm sure you noticed today, it's best to get approval before doing so). Then, sometime in the future, the current admins will open the floor for nominations for new sysops, at which time another user can throw your name in the ring. Then, we'll all vote on you. They probably won't nominate new admins for a while, and when they do, maybe you'll be nominated, maybe not. Either way, keep on keepin' on making good edits and building up that trust. It's just that simple! Again, welcome! — It's dot com 02:20, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
