::::::I understand how this can seem like an unfair authoritarian decision, but there really wasn't any other option. As you obviously didn't read the comments above this (if you had, you wouldn't have made this a response to Sky and me), you don't realize that we are on to discussing other matters. Right now, the first order of business is merging all the pages left over from the merger. As for why we closed the sysop nominations, all anyone expressed as their reason for wanting the powers was the ability to ban users and delete pages. We already have enough people to take care of that. However, those are not the only jobs of a sysop. I'll be honest, it was much more work and expectation than I expected. Merging page histories is a boring and repetitive process, where one mistake can cause big problems for the pages in question. The nominees wanted to be sysops because they felt it would be fun. While there is the occasional enjoyment, it comes mostly from seeing your improvements to the wiki after putting in a good amount of work. Candidates were coming up for sysop just because they made lots of edits, not because they demonstrated the skills or commitment necessary to take this wiki in the right direction. I'll also point out that we have an extremely large number of sysops already; there are only two on the whole Golden Sun wiki. I appologize about the timing of this decision, but we needed to move forward an begin tackling problems that we had let slide for too long. I hope that there are no hard feelings and everyone continues to work with this wiki and take it in the right direction.

While we're on the discussion of improving the wiki, might I recommend a change in skin. I know that we recently went to the monaco, but I really prefer the wikipedia skin. I think that the wiki is more user friendly and easier on the eyes when viewed on the wikipedia skin. Just thought I'd throw that out there.
