Timeline of an inactive admin; 1- edits Wikipedia and finds it fun, creates a user account 2- creates content and feels good about a new hobby 3- becomes an administrator, but is troubled by a childish culture. thinks maybe he can improve it. 4- slowly realizes that the obvious path toward creating a quality encyclopedia will never happen (no quality system, no release system, no culture of competent editing, no meritocracy of project leadership, glorification and protection of all things obscene ...) 5- looks around and sees despicable worms of all types in positions of leadership, none of whom create content, few even capable of it. 6- leaves in disgust once he's better acquainted with the company there.
