I think we need a small period of calm, this will give us time to think and review on proper candidates and reused hasty reactions to this.

No matter a persons view on any one or all of the Admins, we lost a lot of experience and skills. Tomb join the wiki four months before my first edit and was admin when I showed up, and was the first person to edit 365 days strait. Ghost and Ebony where also people I trusted and respected for their work and love for this wiki. I never really spoke to Kenny, but they where here awhile as well and did a lot. In many ways, we cannot replace them, as any skills they had left with them.

That being said, we do need more Admins, this wiki is both large and has high traffic, and two Admins, no matter their activity, cannot handle this for a long period of time. I would say we should hold back form nominations for the remainder of the month, then find at least two solid candidates for the job. People who can either handle everything that needs done, or properly delegate it to trusted users.

As for policies, we need to find new Admins before we continue with new policies. Admins are the faces and (in many ways) leaders of the community. We cannot make changes without people in place to uphold the use the the Wiki. We also need to be careful that nobody takes control of our weakness and tries to do something that we shouldn't.

I know I have not been as active as I should be, or have been in the past. But this was my first wiki to join, I was trained here and learned how to edit. If it wasn't for Tomb, Tim, and the other Admins correcting me and helping me daily I would not have done what I have on the other wikis I have been involved with. I care for this wiki, and because of this must do what I can to protect her and her community.
