@DesertStorm

The representatives of this wiki are the Admins and Crats. There isn't any "technical" issue (in the sense that we don't need to change anything for things like promoting staff, fixing articles and things like that) at the moment. The founder being active really doesn't mean much. Admins and even Mods can easily represent the wiki. There are more of them and they're generally friendly and helpful. Since Ownership is determined by themself, they don't need to be as helpful or as friendly like a Moderator who may have been promoted because of those personality traits. Admins and Moderators are great representatives and we don't need an owner to show up.

I don't hold a strong opinion on removing him as Crat, but it's certainly not necessary. They've been inactive for a long time now and it makes minimal difference. If he was going to found the Wiki, I'm sure he wanted to do well, and he would have no reason to spoil it if he came back.
