Boxy

I've become even less active than usual, and I'm likely to be for a while now. So I think it's best if we have another 'crat to replace me, but I will stay on as sysop (at least for a while). I'm easy as to when I'm demoted, either immediately, or after a replacement is installed (whatever Ross decides is the correct protocol) -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 13:03 3 October 2010 (BST)

Nuuuuuuu! The never-ending Crat term cannot be thrown aside! You certain?--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 13:04, 3 October 2010 (BST)

Right, I was up for a twin re-evaluation, crat election on the 25th. If Box is demoted now, the Crat election begins now, I get plain reevaluated and (assuming I pass) the following election for my current Slot Will Be Three Months from the end of the current promotion. Seems clear. I think. Happy to be demoted after the election? --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 13:07, 3 October 2010 (BST)

Surely your election will just be 3 months after this one finishes, with no re-evaluations of any kind until then. You haven't been a crat for 12 months, so there's no need for another as per crat rules. Is that right?--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 13:12, 3 October 2010 (BST)

But 8 months since my last promotion? --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 13:14, 3 October 2010 (BST)

I don't think it matters if you're a crat. Doesn't it stack to 8 months after you stop being crat?--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 13:15, 3 October 2010 (BST)

Yep. I think you're right. Once Box confirms his demotion request, We'll Kick of a new Crat race and demoted box at the end of the two weeks, when we appoint a successor. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 13:16, 3 October 2010 (BST)

Set up election on A/BP. Somebody check my work.--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 13:27, 3 October 2010 (BST)

What happened to the "Are you Sure?" confirmation? --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 13:31, 3 October 2010 (BST)

... I forgot... But seriously, I thought he already had. I'll revert so it's just a click away.--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 13:31, 3 October 2010 (BST)

^^^This is the reason I voted for ED Milliband. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 13:32, 3 October 2010 (BST)

There we go. 3 clicks if he confirms, and we leave it if he changes his mind. Also, I voted fro Ed Miliband. :P--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 13:33, 3 October 2010 (BST)

Can't we just clone Ross and be done with it? Anyhow, we'll get an interesting bureaucrat competition then. I'm already in doubt between 3 candidates. Also, so long Boxy, and thanks for your service. We didn't always get along, but you were a stable factor as a bureaucrat. Hopefully you'll come back, instead of being yet another oldie leaving us :( --Thadeous Oakley 14:56, 3 October 2010 (BST)

Yep, I'm sure, and I'm fine with being left until the end of the election -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 21:41 3 October 2010 (BST)

Thanks Boxy, you are now demoted to sysop. Thanks for the work and don't be a stranger. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 15:53, 18 October 2010 (BST)
