How do you become an admin on this site, seeing there's no RFA anywhere? --AAA! (AAAA) 10:05, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

You don't. -- Sir Codeine K·H·P·B·M·N·C·U·Bu. · (Harangue) 12:41, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

This should cover it. —Sir Major Hinoa [TALK] [KUN] [10:07, 8 January 2007 (UTC)]

Radio Free Asia? Actually when we need a new Admin we drag out the ceremonial dartboard... -- Sir Mhaille  (talk to me)

Y'know, proportionally to the number of registered users we have almost quadruple the number of admins as wikipedia does (0.11% as opposed to 0.03%)- now...discuss! --Sir Jam 13:38, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Oddly, we have exactly the same number of Benson.--Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 16:36, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Yes, but people probably talk about ours quite a lot more. Which is a shame. --Sir Jam 17:36, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Many of our admins have little to no contribs. Take those out and its a roughly even proportion. --User:Nintendorulez 20:26, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Yes, but the same holds true for Wikipedia's admins. Only they have some sort of system to get rid of them after awhile.   t o m p k i n s  blah. ﺞوﻦ וףה ՃՄ ண்ஸ ފއހ วอฏม +տ trade websites 01:03, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

I thought you had to be thrown into a grue pit by other admins, without a light cannon and tape over your mouth so you can't use extreme sarcasm. And Live. Then, if you are male, you get kicked in the crotch by every admin (wearing cleats), or if you are a girl, 15 dildos (per admin) will be forced into your vagina at the same time. Oh, and if you start a topic like this, your chances of becoming a sysop will be -500 to 1. Lt. High Gen. Grue The Few The Proud, The Marines

No, the "Mhaille" bit, though given that I normally pronounce it "FOHR DESK-tahp," I'm a bit leery of any explanations now... :) —The Right Honourable Major Sir Hinoa KUN UmP UotM Bur MDA NS CM (talk) 14:47, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Malley --Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 14:51, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

I thought it was pronounced as kind of a cross between "malley" and "mellyor", with a hint of "m'hoyle" thrown in for good measure. -- Sir Codeine K·H·P·B·M·N·C·U·Bu. · (Harangue) 15:39, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

I'd assumed it was the same as "my", although that might be a little too french. --Sir Jam 15:57, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
