I don't see this as a thing that actually happened.

Nobody pushed Zulg out (if anything, he was in a position to push anyone else out that he cared to).

I don't see anyone else as pushed out either, but nobody else that left in recent memory did very much in the few years before their departure. Being a CF imm is often a game of burnout and historically it's very very common for people to effectively stop contributing a long time before they officially call it quits.
