First off - I'm not inactive. I'm on every single day. I may not be on here 24/7, but I have a newborn baby, that's kinda to be expected.

Secondly, yeah, a few admins have disappeared lately. Unfortuntely, that happens to sites when people don't like where the series is headed. (When Skyrim had the very very bad glitch-laden updates, we lost some active members, and I think a staff member, too, from memory).

Thirdly - Bureaucrat is not admin-appointed. It has to get the support of an administrator (like any of the staff positions these days), however, anyone can say "I think such-and-such Admin should be promoted". And if its a well-deserved nomination, it will get both. I toldy understand that, and if anything I actually think you're one of the more active Admins on the site, it's just that due to your timezone and RL responsiblities the Wiki can sometimes go it's prime hours without any Bureaucrat present, which is why I think Ebony should be nominated. But I'm not trying to say you're bad t what you do, or that you have an obligation to put your newborn aside just to serve the site, not at all.

I have noticed, this has also happened with the Patrollers, if I may be honest, I personally think that the fact that very little Admin and Patroller nominations have happened in a while, so therefor the Staff has been almost the same for months, causing a possible "burn out" if that makes sense.
