Some people just like the "title," but most people just forget and get busy with other things. Checking in with the wikis you administer, whether you edit or not, is important. Posting a quick hello on your message wall lets that community know that you're keeping an eye on things.

I also had to address an "absentee" admin who had gone AWOL for well over a year. I posted a forum message letting the community know I was considering asking CC that she be removed and also publicly requested that co-admin to get in touch with me. The community helped me make contact and, as a result, she agreed to step down. The messages were public, but since some of the members were newbies, I took the time to explain to the community at-large the overall protocol I was following as an admin so they understood the role of an admin. Maybe it was helpful. IDK, but I used to watch how other admins behaved so I have to think so. At least, I hope so.
