That's going to happen when the people who genuinely want to contribute positively to the site and improve it have been pushed out for one reason or another. Not sure its productive or kosher to go into that, but I do agree that the central component of the problems present is administrative decision-making. I feel like enough of us have spoken at length on this and are exhausted about saying it again. Those who know know. 

Otherwise, my point is all that [i]we[/i], collectively, can do is contribute positively because no administrative changes can be made by us. It is out of our hands, so what can we do that [i][b]is[/b][/i] in our hands? That's the question to ask because Mahz and the administrative staff issues are things we cannot help with.
