Staff lacking a certain amount of activity is a problem that needs to be addressed. I mainly stepped down because I knew I would not be active enough to keep a position that represents community leadership for the foreseeable future.
@malakadang is an outstanding staff member who obviously has a lot of commitments outside of Sythe so stepping down until he can become more active isn't necessarily a horrid idea. If more staff had the attitude of "what's the con of me not being active and chiming in once in a blue moon" it would decrease overall staff morale.
