Hey,

I have a giant recurring medical issue, so I'm not always able to get on. Plus I never get alerts for messages on Wikia sites (which I've had countless unactioned tickets for over the years) so I didn't even know you posted anything until I looked at the Recent Changes today.

I kind of flew off the handle a little, I admit over Category:Ninja. It was ingrained in my mind while studying that "everything in Japanese is plural for itself" and it was always frowned upon to use the improper plural even in English conversation. When I made that decision it was because we had people putting them in both categories (Ninja and Ninjas) and we needed to pick one, so I went with what I knew to be proper Japanese.

Re: Category: Pigs - don't really have a problem with it as long as you think we really need one. I deleted most of the animal species because we only had one, maybe two characters that used them, and what really is the use of a category if you're not going to have more than one thing to categorize? I think that might've been when we had single articles for all incarnations too, so Pigs had like Bebop and maybe Kojima and that's it. At the time, it just seemed useless.

Anyway, I made more admins because I knew I wouldn't be here often with my work, which only got harder to follow through on when I was diagnosed. Unfortunately,  outside of Trigger, and Suigilita poking his head in every now and then, they seem to have all disappeared off off the planet. Maybe I/we need to promote some new people... but there aren't really enough regulars right now to justify that right now, are there? It wouldn't make sense to have more admins than regular users. Maybe if traffic increases significantly, it would be worth doing. I've thought of passing the keys a few times for lead adminship, too, because I was promoted literally just because I was always here and reporting things that needed to be fixed and the actual admins weren't. But I really do like running this place even if I'm not always able to be here.

Anyway if you ever need to get in touch with me for an actual time-sensitive matter - and that goes for anyone on the board - if you have Facebook just message the TMNTPedia page - Facebook works better than Wikia on my phone for when I'm not able to get to a computer (as Trigger can attest to, Wikia on mobile sucks shell).

This place is to be informative and fun. A place to chill. That's why I try to ask before I make any major decisions that may impact a lot of things (like why I haven't and may not pull the trigger on a Fandom excursion - I've literally only heard from you and want more opinions). I don't want anyone feeling helpless or like there isn't anybody paying attention to what they have to  say. It's just that I, myself, personally, am not always going to be here daily.

Let me know if you need anything else.

(P.S. I wrote all this yesterday but editing was disabled across Wikia when I tried to post it. Curse my timing!)
