But srsly---the Eostrix RFA is one of the funniest shitshows they have ever posted. One mild OPPOSE vote attracted the usual automatic attacks, and even the one NEUTRAL vote was attacked. Routine rubber-stamping of a nobody. By a mob of other nobodies.
Then it's all "oops sorry the candidate was blocked by Arbcom, NEVER MIND". I've seen hundreds of RFAs and very damn few of them are this massively pointless and idiotic. It's a bad Monty Python sketch written on a website. Also typical classic Wikipedia.
You are right, they are VERY desperate for fresh meat. After years of struggling to install new admins, they are starting to slip again.

Desysops (and they won't talk about the reasons why, apart from the stupid Fram mess)--TEN YEARS of consistent losses. In the "real world", any organization that declined, like this, for TEN BLOODY YEARS, would have collapsed by now.
