To start, I'm going to praise you for fully speaking your mind.

Can I now please state my opinion without it being deleted (yes, Jess, I mean you)?

Well, I don't believe the admins are horrible at all. I believe what they do is harder than some would imagine.

These new admins DO have the time. If you ever have any actual problems, they will HELP. But, unsurprisingly, I doubt many people actually go to them if they have an issue. I personally believe you have a slightly wrong view on how these 'popular users on chat' were chosen. Chat was influence people's opinion of candidates, of course! But, I think that they did not CONTROL them. Chat showed other users what each candidate was like- if anything, I think it HELPED to decide who should have been an admin. If you did not really know what they were like, how could you REALLY decide? They could edit pages extremely well, but be unfriendly and untrustworthy.

Really, you think so? Did the admins who chose them tell you that's the reason why the admins were chosen? Each admin has a different element to bring to the community- popular or not. What is wrong with users wanting to be an admin? Personally, it was never a wiki goal of mine, but I see nothing wrong with being able to help others better in a place that you adore. Each admin is mature when they want to be. If there are any situations, they are serious and professional. Just because they are admins doesn't mean that they cannot have their silly sides and let their personality shine through.

And may I take the time to say, please don't think I'm ranting at you, because I'm really not...

Sadly, due to the lack of episodes (which yeah, we all care about- at the end of the day this IS the iCarly wiki no matter how much people disagree), we can't have many debates now. Once more new episodes come out, the debates will flow. I agree that we used to be a lot more vibrant, but certain users move on, fall slightly out of love with iCarly... I think the fact you said that we have to go on CHATZY to talk when we have a perfectly fine way of communicating via the chat is rather odd but... (:P)

All We Know Is Falling... Muahahaha, ParaMonster within me had to say that.

As I've stated earlier, I think having that aspiration to be an admin is fine. Chatmod status isn't as...urm... well, I never dreamed to be a chatmod, lets put it that way. Cliques is slightly extreme- can't we call them friend groups? I think everyone complains about them, and forget that the people IN the groups had to make friends with the others. They didn't just automatically come to form. By the way, exchanging passwords is a very... silly thing to do, I agree. However, the wiki knowing somebody's first NAME won't affect much.

Actually, only TWO admins were voted in by the users, and that isn't the majority of the admins, is it? This can come across as terribly rude now but... This wiki IS mostly made up of teenagers, we can't change that. They can make whatever blogs they want. And, again, once there are more new episodes, the debates will come naturally.

Populars? Well...

We ALL care about the dry spell and our ships. But I think some of us have toned it down... after the Seddie arc, I realised maybe I dedicated too much of my time to Seddie. Now, I just really hope... that... I really hope that Dan can impress me again.

We're about FRIENDSHIP. We're about SPIRIT. Our spirit may not be all directed at iCarly, but a heck of a lot of it is at each other. Haven't you seen all of the Christmas things we're doing? The Chizz weekly?

Now, you say we don't need 9 admins. We have a MASSIVE community, so yes, we DO need that many admins. The Victorious wiki has a smaller community than us and I think they have more admins than us.

The admins there, I'm sure, are lovely. But that show has SO much attention on it right now. We don't. Of course the community seems pleasant, they are! OUR admins are mature. Please at least give them a chance. I know fully well that they talk about us- and although they may not like what I'm about to say... It HURTS. What they say HURTS. The fact that they hate us all HURTS.

Also, I get annoyed that we're constantly compared to THAT wiki. If you compare us to other wikis, I think we're pretty amazing!

And it doesn't help that we always have people saying this wiki is a slum... no wonder people get the wrong idea about us (that wasn't directed at you personally, by the way).
