Hey,

there actually wasn't a discussion for it. As it looks to me the primary purpose of those links is to guide new users (more experienced users usually know who to talk to) to the correct people when they are looking for help. Those questions are mostly about one of two things: Inactive users are generally not able to answer those questions properly since they don't play TSTO anymore (at least most of them), and they also get less and less familiar with wiki-happenings because the wiki evolves and changes over time (influenced both by how the userbase changes as well as how the game changes). Additionally if inactive admins reply at all, it often takes them longer to do so.
 * 1) Specific questions about what's happening in-game right now, and
 * 2) Questions about why something on the wiki is done the way it is, or how it should be done.

As such it seemed better to me to only have those users linked on the main-page that can/do reply in a timely and more insightful way.

This was certainly not about me no longer valuing the contributions and the hard of the people I've removed from the main-page. Like you already noticed, nobody has been demoted. If it came across that way, I'm sorry and happy to discuss how to achieve the intended effect without implying the unintended one.
