Well, I'm unsure why you're equating coder to admin/staff. A coder is one type of an admin or staff member. The majority of our code is written by professional, full-time developers.
As for our excellent volunteer staff, the idea that they cannot put in a lot of time and have a real world job is erroneous. Many full-time jobs are only 40 hours a week. We have had a huge range of people volunteer to help the community, spending significant amounts of time. Some of them have been:
- Software developer for Ubisoft
- Runs her own porn busines.
- Was one of the Army's youngest Captains.
- Runs two martial arts dojos and fights in extreme fighting
events
- Student (of course)
- Legal clerk
- Chef in australia
- Hotel manager
I'm sure we're not alone here in having a diverse group of admins. The stereotypes that even some mudders have about other mudders are a bit off sometimes I think.
