That’s only part of it, and I wish you guys could see past the whole “mods should go to meets” aspect for just a sec.
This site keeps gowing, expanding and evolving while the moderators become more distant from the members. The mods have to stay active in the community in order to keep up with the changes. A part of that is going to the meets, but there has to be an effort by the mods to want to be part of the community before there can be any discussion of how else to keep them connected. Some of the mods don’t even post or contribute to this forum on a monthly basis let alone show up at events where the members are.
