First off, thank you ZeVikingSif and Yoponot for managing what was a rushed Fall Fanon Con. Guys, I'm sorry that I wasn't here to watch this 'con be a success. As many of you know, my schedule as been busier (hence why I'm leaving this spring), and I've been sick. This 'con was unforunately rushed because of a busy schedule and just plain forgetfulness on my part. However, this brings up a good point. This Fall Fanon Con shows two things.

First, you guys need to be on top of wiki events more. If I'm leaving, I won't be threads in June 2016 about Summer Fanon Con if I'm not going to be on the wiki by then. Someone else will have to make that thread. Who it is? I don't know. But please, start keeping track of when these events need to occur. We've had 3 Omniverse Awards, several Fanon Cons, several Alien Fests. By now, you should know how these things work and when they happen.

Second, it shows that you don't need me to run a Fanon Con. Sure, I made the last blog and I helped take care of stuff on the Saturday/Sunday before the week began, but other then that, two users managed the whole con by themselves, more-so Yopo. This proves that I don't need to hold your guys hands all the time. You can do things by yourselves, and you can run the Fanon Con. I need someone to be the new me, and run wiki events when I'm gone. Yopo seems to be a prime candidate right now, but I know there are other capable users. I know school is in session, I know we're all busy, and I know this one was rushed. But still, it could have been better.

Regarding Chat Presentations:

I heard that very few people were able to make it on, and I apologize for that. With the arrival of my Junior year, I haven't been able to manage Fall Fanon Con 2015 as much as I had previous 'cons, hence why it was rushed, and why people weren't able to be on. Part of that is my fault, and I admit it. Mistakes happen, but that's where we can try and learn them from.

However, for the few who did have chat presentations, I had they were interrupted. Apparently, some users decided to be rude and interrupt presentations. I think this is appalling, especially for content creators. For content creators such as yourselves to prevent another fellow content creator from speaking about his or her work is disgusting. I am disgusted by the actions of certain users.

Although I don't have names, if you did act inappropriately by interrupting presentations as bad as it has been described, especially during fellow administrator Ulti's presentation, I give you a chance. You can either confess what you did and apologize, or you can stay in the shadows. In which case, I will try and find out who was on, who was interrupted, and I will try to see who was responsible. Who knows, maybe this is a sign that if you don't think others should be able to talk on chat during a chat presentation, maybe there needs to be chat restrictions during the weekends for you. I leave it up to you the wrong-doers to make that decision.

Badge Farming: 

Okay, this is frustrating. Apparently, the A-Z category has been being abused for badge farming. This is just... this is 2013 BTFF action people. Badge farming should not exist on the wiki. We are not an enclyopedia wiki that adds content based on shows. We're not the Gravity Falls Wiki, or the Batman Wiki. We are a fan fiction wiki. So the whole badge farming thing makes no sense, because most people on here are here to write, not to edit to get badges. I don't know how to run bots, I don't know how to manage a bot, but if we need to get a bot to BABYSIT THIS WIKI, maybe I will look into it.

I find it frustrating that every SINGLE TIME I leave, someone fights, or someone abuses the rules, or people won't let others talk on chat. It's like you're all three year olds when I'm gone, and fifteen year olds when I'm here. Now I know it's not all of you, and for those who have been amazing and great when I'm not on, thank you for being mature, and for being users who have my respect. But if you have been badge farming, just like the chat presentation interrupters, please reveal yourselves to me so that you can get respect back and so that you can get forgiveness. If we have to start blocking people because they're badge farming, or if heaven forbid we need to remove badges from the wiki somehow, then I'm going to not be happy. You have a few months with me left. Don't frustrate me more then I am in the real world.

Also, in regards to the A-Z category: From now on, I don't want people putting it on pages, because clearly it's become a category that users are using to get a higher spot on the leaderboard. If you're going to be on here, be on here for the people or for the passion of writing/art/music whatever. Don't be on here to be #1 on the leaderboard. Okay?

In Regards to Roads: 

Here is the thread to vote on the demotion of Roads.

Conclusion: 

If there are other things I need to be notified on, please tell me. I'm very disappointed in how people acted in my absense, I'm disappointed in the lack of turn-out for Fanon Con, overall I'm disappointed with the community right now, but I still have hope that this Year of Community can progress for the future, help with wanted pages, have people spread the message that All of You Matter , and maybe even live in not just a better wiki, but a better world.

I'm sorry if I made you cry because of my frustration. I'm just... not happy right now. - Sci
