I can't imagine how frustrating the jobs of the Reddit admins must be.

Is admin supposed to be plural? I mean, do they really have multiple system admins now? I ask, only because I know people have been coming and going recently.

Frankly, for the size of the site, they do really, really well for the limited resources they have.

I meant admins in the more general purpose sense of administrators, people who are paid to maintain the system. But yeah I agree, quality:resources ratio is really really high.

It's usually very rewarding. The awesome community is what keeps me doing it.

Awesome, I just figured out that you kept the votes tallied during the 'downtime'. What's interesting is how clearly good and bad submissions were dichotomized when nobody had anything else to vote on.
