Okay, there were a total of *79* de-sysoppings
this year. I understand
three were because of compromising, and several were voluntary, but this
is pitiful, and *we can do better*. If people on here want to be danged
drama queens, they should just take it to email with the users involved.
This, again, is pitiful. We've got to stop acting like this and BUILD
THE ENCYCLOPEDIA. Thank you.

How many of those were because of bad admins though? Sometimes, an admin
needs a break from seeing extra buttons they no longer want to be dealing
with, so will request to be desysopped. I don't see that as a problem.
Bad admins of course are a problem, and so are compromised accounts. Less of
that next year of course, but admins can resign whenever they wish - it
isn't a problem at all.
Yes, but this is more than we've ever had. I know that Wikipedia has
some admins retire, but we had more than last year. I'm not trying to
alarm everyone, but this is scaring me just a bit. I've seen a few
retirements because of a problem with another editor. THAT is what I'm
saying we need to get our act together about.
