Because there a whole lot of people that don't understand that contributor =/= admin.But why not? I think it's interesting to see why members want to become admins, kinda gives a perspective, y'know?
(Also, lulz, I applied for admin because turbine had no representation on the admin staff since giggelz almost never played on turbine after making admin. :( That and we had/still have buckets of surprise racism and flag spamming griefing and shit like that. GIVE US AN ADMIN FROM TURBINE BOTT. PLEASE.)
