Yes, "stagnation" is far more accurate. Thing is, it used to be a
source of pride to tell your real world associates that you're a
wikipedia admin. You'd even put it on your resume. Now, it's a bit of
an embarassing secret and you definitely would not raise it in a job
interview.

Notable here is this oft-repeated and rather
weak-excuse-for-an-argument personal
Yikes! That could be quite problematic!
But still, fundamentally, we aren't here for the money. Clearly,
people need to put their heads together and come up with a creative
back up money making solution for the Wikimedia Foundation should this
happen again.
