Well, that's part of it. The key thing though is that I and others are just burnt out - it's vastly more fun to be writing articles than continually having to deal with the worst of Wikipedia day after day. I think it's always going to be something that has a high turnover rate, and that this isn't necessarily a bad thing - as long as we keep replacing people when they've had enough, the current system, with twelve arbitrators, works fine. There's just not always enough decent people to replace a huge amount of spots - I can't help but think that if another six or eight new arbitrators had been appointed in December that there would have been the shitfight from hell all through this year, as some very controversial people could've gotten up.
