Clearing up a few misunderstandings/misconceptions:
 * There are "only" five admins. The user list is unreliable to check activity (for instance, it says my last login was in July, but my last edit was today); however, taking it at its word, we've all edited and/or logged in some time in these past two days, with the exception of Cokedragon, who logged in eleven days ago. Again, the user list is unreliable for the purposes of checking for activity
 * Custodians losing their ability to remove threads is not on us. That was Wikia's doing. As far as I know, everyone who's not an admin or higher lost that ability
 * Don't conflate "not editing" with "not being around". I don't always edit, but I try to keep an eye on things with a program I have
 * Asking any small group for help is bound to have bad results. We (admins) are older than the majority of users, and thus have different (and more) responsibilities than you. We try to be here and maintain things from the administrative side, but we can't spend time we don't have to edit hundreds or thousands of articles. You'll notice how replacing templates with flags took a while, and there's a reason for that: I had other things that needed to be done. Getting a bot will help us in that regard
 * We have made no theme changes. Again, that was Wikia's doing. We don't make changes like that as we please
