So what I was wondering if you could remove my admin status. The main reason is I'm not active here and I haven't played any SSB game since April 08, so I can't really help out the community. I'm still a helper though, so I would still be able to do things that admins can do, though like I said I'm not active here so if someone was to ask me to get involved in something I probably wouldn't be able to because of not knowing what's going on. So if you could remove my sysop status that would be sweet, thanks.--[[User:Richard1990|Richard]]<sup>[[User talk:Richard1990|talk]]</sup> 23:35, 24 February 2009 (UTC) | ||
