2. After 3 months with no elections on a bureaucrat position, an election is called for the bureaucrat position longest without an election.

Election started. Suicidalangel's bureaucrat spot is now being voted on. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 04:22, 15 August 2009 (BST)

1. SA is good but he's been too inactive for my liking during the past couple of months. Boxy's been keeping his eyes on all parts of the wiki lately and he knows the 'crat job well. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 10:17, 15 August 2009 (BST)
2. SA's been a good crat but he's too inactive these days. Boxy knows what he's doing. Linkthewindow  Talk  12:20, 15 August 2009 (BST)
3. Boxy has had his break. I say we make the bugger do some proper work again :) --Honestmistake 12:28, 15 August 2009 (BST)

1. No, Im not sure how my brain works either. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 09:54, 15 August 2009 (BST)
2. I'd say DDR. Nothing against Suicidal, but I think DDR would be better for the wiki for the time being.--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 10:06, 15 August 2009 (BST)
3. This election has me pretty much cornered in between chosing different shades of pure eVil. Well maybe some not that bad, I'd go for Cheese (Krazy Monkey) without a thought if he weren't so damn inactive these days. So I'd say DDR. Everything against Suicidal, and I think DDR would do a capable job, he isn't a sheep yet he is also not rebel for the sake of being rebellious. Someone who can think for himself without having an extreme view on things. Though I think he should bury the hatchet with Bob.--Thadeous Oakley A Challenge you ought to try 11:41, 15 August 2009 (BST)

   I'm pretty sure there's no hatchet to be buried...? People can have arguments without personally hating each other's guts you know. Cyberbob  Talk  12:35, 15 August 2009 (BST)
