I'm not here to say that I know exactly what goes on behind the forums, I was agreeing with Darlene that Kai couldn't pass judgment on her position. And how are you all so sure that the forum doesn't change? Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it's not happening. I only came to this forum a few weeks ago and already I've influenced things that happen, or we wouldn't have this discussion. A grain of rice tips the scale, and if every person on this forum is a grain of rice, then you can't tell me that nobody joined the forums since Kai left as supermod. As small a community as it may be, as long as there are new and possibly radical people, lot's of things do change. And I don't even have to identify these people because every person that enters the forum influences it in some way or another, changing the "fundamentals" of moderation.
And even if there is little change I don't see reason to call moderators lazy. Lazy is a judgment on somebody's personality, not their work. As a programmer I understand that a lot of work goes unnoticed on the inside but rather the faults on the outside stand out much more. You can't call a programmer lazy just because he hasn't done anything that you can see, for all you know he's been working on the program day and night. I'm not proving that this is necessarily true in the case of this forum, but to call a moderator lazy without knowing everything that goes on is unfair.
I know we can nitpick at this topic for days longer, so i'm going to stop here. I'll let anybody else post whatever final opinions they believe and then I want this topic to remain about my signature script
