I don't really believe that we should demand Cleric to be on the wiki constantly. I think that Cleric is an exception since he founded the site, and he is handling the wiki's social media and working on the anthology. The last time I messaged him, he was having some Internet problems, so I didn't Cleric's input on my demotion thread. Also, if anyone saw on his "Happy 4th" thread, he asked us if there were any things we'd like to see implemented/changed. Inactivity be damned (yes, we all have real lives), the fact that he asked that proves, once again, that he still loves the site he founded.

And I know Sloshed does too. Sure, Sloshed had some inactivity. So what. He's human too. Who was the first admin to address the horrible stabbing incident and have his name posted on news sites worldwide defending our great site. Yes, that was Sloshed. People associated his name as a voice of authority here (which he is), and he had a game-face about it that was pretty incredible. He stepped up like a leader should. He also took his demotion thread to heart, and I look forward to working alongside him more often.

Anyway, I'm going off the subject of the OP here, and I apologize. And no, I'm not kissing up to anyone. We don't need anymore bureaucrats, as I am fully comfortable with the great ones we have now. I'm just calling things like I have seen them, and I feel the bureaucrats we have in place now will always have our backs. All of them have demonstrated exceptional leadership abilities to me and we should feel lucky that we have them on our side here.
