So basically for ever 10th editor lost only 1 editor comes to dmoz lol. At this rate dmoz will be running on low supplies of editors. So whats causing the brain drain ?
"Leaving" may not be the proper word here. At least some of them were fired, and while that is "leaving" I'm unsure if the meaning is clear. (And you know I how I like picking apart the "meanings" of your words, lol) I'd love to see the actual reasons for them "leaving" though....as I wonder how many others may have been let go, and how many left for reasons similar to myself. Though I suspect that most likely just got bored.
No, these are only meta and editalls which are promoted from common editor ranks, so this basically means that common editors ranks are either completely dried out with few editors left to promote or some great conspiracy is going on...
