Admins are quitting constantly.
I just did (IMG:
smilys0b23ax56/default/ohmy.gif) Can't stand it any longer - I just had to get out. Eric Barbour pretty much got it right when he described admin/BLP work as just pushing against an overwhelming tide. And Milton is right in that the individual simply cannot fix the wrongs of the world ...
Sad to see you go. You were a good 'un. An individual cannot do much, but it doesn't hurt not to shut the door entirely, because the tide may turn in the future. It might need your assistance.
According to
RickBot, there were 991 active admins as of the 2008 July 21 update. It's now down to 941. During that time period (7 and a half months), there were 75 new admins (only counting RfAs, not bots that got flags through BAG) created.
That means 125 admins who were active back then are no longer active.* That's a lot of people.
*- I should note that I'm assuming that all the 75 admins created are still active. I haven't checked that, but I doubt more than 3 or so wouldn't be considered active by RickBot.
