User blog:Mintyfingers/A MUCH needed update.

Three years later...

Minty returns to the Salad Fingers Wiki on a cloudy Monday afternoon feeling very jaded yet pleasantly surprised at how well behaved everyone has been, considering the last time she was here the Salad Fingers Wiki community was a total mess.

Hi everyone, after three very long years, I have finally decided to check on this wiki again and ''wow! It certainly does feel odd coming back but... here I am, more mature and, more importantly, confident that I can be the ''admin of this wiki.

I'm not going to sugar coat it, the way I left this wiki was very unsavory, to say the least. I wrote a fiery blog post out of anger (and looking back on it, can I just say, how unprofessional of me) and decided right after that my time on the wiki was done and that somebody was eventually going to adopt the wiki and be a better admin than me. No more Salad Fingers in my life, I thought.

Clearly that didn't happen as I find myself typing this blog, still the admin of this wiki.

Three years, while it seems short in retrospect to this universe we live in, has actually changed me entirely as a person. The most important characteristic growth I've had is that I have definitely become more mature than when I became the admin in 2015, when I was just some kid transitioning into high school.

And the three years has changed the Salad Fingers Wiki and its community, I'd say, for the better. Prior to my leaving, I was extremely frustrated that the community continued to ignore my messages about potential ways to improve this wiki and occassionally vandalized the pages. When I did leave, I legitimately thought the community was too far gone to reach out to. Of course I had acted in the heat of the moment but I still continued to think this way weeks after I left.

Going through the pages today and looking at the comments and edit history of the pages, from the bottom of my heart, thank you everyone for proving me wrong. I am glad that the community has matured as well.

With that out of the way, I'd like to conclude this blog by stating that I am still looking out for bureaucrats to help me with this wiki.  Please reach out to me if you are interested in becoming a bureaucrat by leaving me a message.  I cannot stress this enough! This wiki is currently stable but I would still like to form a team of bureaucrats and other admins to ensure the wiki's well being and continued growth.

Thank you for reading and I am happy to be back on the Salad Fingers Wiki!
