I wonder if Sophia heard rumblings and decided to go out on her own terms. She was posting in an admin capacity literally yesterday in the announcements forum.
I don't have all of the moderators memorized (I know, I'm sorry, I'll try harder) but without Sophia on the staff, I think their trans representation is at the lowest level ever. No admins, possibly no moderators. And the last admin turned out to be a Trumper ally who helped the forum get gaslit for three straight years. No wonder they don't feel safe on the forum and are leaving in droves.
