I was told by those in power, it depends on how much it’s worth to you. Make a contribution to the moderating team, if it’s enough your in! If not, I’m sure they will have lunch on you. 😀 ---

Half of them were from the very early days and had already become inactive by the time the YYE boom came around(2012ish). The other half became inactive at various times during the forum decline 2014/15-2018 ---
