Remember guys, we have to be mature about this and choose admins based on how well they will do, not based on popularity (if the time actually comes to elect new admins, hopefully it does). That said, this is going to come across so harsh and I don't even want to say it but I think it should be said...erm...someone shouldn't become admin because of what is going on in their lives, or because you feel bad for them. Like, you shouldn't want someone to be admin because you feel bad for them. Take it like a job interview almost, the employer won't employ someone out of pity, they'll employ them because they are right for the job. They should be based on who is going to get stuff done and be good doing it. Yeah, I do agree, we have to take this issue professionally and not emotionally. Just because they are super nice does not mean they are good contributors to the wiki, and if they're leaving the wiki, we shouldn't give it to them just because they're going away but if they were great users that strived to make this wiki a better place.
