You have to think of it in relative terms. When the site was first created, there were so few members that they only needed a couple of admins. After the merger with the other site they gained a new one as per the deal and the others were promoted due to the fact that they had proved to be valuable members of the site (sorting out coding etc.). Hell, when I was new to the site there was a good admin presence, and Dark Seer remained an active member (you need to remember that "Building a Connection" was his idea) who helped promote a friendly ethos between members. Blade bane was also active, and he helped show me the ropes (along with SniperGhost) when I was brand new to the site.

The problem is real life, and none of us are exempt from that boon ;) Most of us do other things other than contribute to the site (I'm a keen artist, cyclist, runner and hockey player) and in particular School/College/University/Work can really limit the leisure time we can spend on our computer. Dark Seer and Blade bane mentioned that they were entering a very important academic year at their school, hence they would be unable to be as active.

Given the recent growth in the community, I would like to advocate that three low level admins be appointed, in order to help our current team during a time when thy cannot afford to be regular contributors to the site. Preferably, these members would be ones who are experienced with the site, have a good grasp of MOST of the Warhammer 40k site while being friendly and responsible.
