It's been decided that given the success of the initial clearout and upon further observation, the site is being run just fine. That said, the goal of the mod clearout was always to reduce the number of moderators to an amount that we (the smods and admins) considered acceptable and it's been decided after review that we can afford to reduce this number even further. Some of you will obviously object to this decision because it's going to cost you your moderator positions and we apologise to anyone that this affects negatively however the decision that the super mods and admins made was a collective one and we voted on every forum you'll see listed below and are confident in our selections (note: not all forums have been decided on yet, like the last mod clearout this will be a multi-stage process).
If you are one of the moderators losing your position and you really feel that you are a better candidiate than the ones we have chosen then you may wish to post and explain why, I do however not want this thread to become a flamefest against the candidates that we did chose.
Also, finally, before anyone raises the issue of "we needed more mods because not all mods/smods/admins activity is very high" we've already thought about this issue and have come to a conclusion that we believe will solve the issue of activity. Rich held admin applications with the majority of smods applying however it was decided that some of the candidates weren't experienced enough and that others weren't active enough to truly make the rest of you feel like it was a good choice. That said, Rich has assured us he will be getting in contact with Youkou in upcoming days/weeks depending on how busy his schedule is to try and convince Youkou to return as admin to solve this issue.
