I can't speak for the entire Wikinews community, but a lot of it was the

any help at all. Eventually the community wrote the extension themselves

Wouldn't someone leaving returning as a new username be a loss of 1 and a

I'm sure there is some username churn in the stats, but I'd be surprised if

Lets take a look at this really quick from a business side. Paypal might
think there is legal risk in supporting Wikileaks. More importantly for
