And now for my own thoughts on the matter. I tried to keep my personal opinions out of the main post as much as is possible, because 'discussing the idea' and 'discussing me' are separate things.

I want the SuperUser/Engineer group to exist because I want to be in it. I don't want to be a straight-up Admin for a few reasons: one, I don't feel I've been around long enough for any kind of newer-to-the-site-than-me User to think I'm on par with Otherarrow or Yuanchosaan; two, I don't want to deal with 'having authority over other Users' at this time; three, I've gotten to the point where I want to be able to edit the site's CSS without having to wait for an Admin (also rename some images here and there). And four: I'm vaguely afraid that if I were to ask to be an Admin and be promoted to such, that OA would say "whelp I don't need to go hang out there anymore" and then I'd be alone in this giant wiki and then I would cry. And maybe drown in the giant-ness and leave. Which would defeat the point of me asking to be an Admin.

Yes, I know it's kind of a hassle to petition the Wikia Peeps to come over here and fiddle with whatever-bunch of stuff it would take to set this up, when it's a 'wiki userbase of two,' and in the past, just being patient and waiting for OA to log in has been sufficient. But even if this idea gets voted down now, I want the datestamp on the post, just in case at some point in the future we end up with many more users and then having an 'Engineer' usergroup becomes a functional concept.

ETA: Looking at User:Yuanchosaan's contribution page on FFwiki - http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/Yuanchosaan - she's been active there recently. Is it a good idea to message her and see what she thinks of this? We could leave a message on User:Ken.nihart's page and just see if he comes back to take a look. I mean, 'last logged in 2008' makes me think 'no', but, you know. Should we see if any of the mega-users from before have opinions? Or do we assume if they haven't been here, they don't care?
