I plan on informing Jon about this; Roughly half the moderators on this site are not active members. There are plenty of members (myself, PonyOne, etc) who spend much more time on here, with the same or better knowledge, who would like the chance to be a moderator. This is my way of "improving the site"; although this is easily the greatest guitar website around, it can only get better with active moderators. Every other forum on the internet has moderators that are very active (and we do, just not as much as we could).
I believe Jon originally filled some of the moderator spots when the website was not so huge (back in 2000/early 2001) , which makes sense, considering guitarist101 has 30 posts, and is a moderator, not to be seen since 8/16/02, more than a year ago. Look, fellas, there needs to be change; This site hosts 25,000 + members (rumors are that it has reached 30,000), there is no excuse to have moderators that don't participate in their own forums.
I only put Educatedfilm on there because he was out for a very long time, only to recently come back; considering that the Open Discussion gets a massive amount of hits compared to all other forums on the website, it seems to me that the water was running only half-full (or half-empty, depending on how you see it).
I realize that "Incidents Happen" (:D), and that sometimes people can't post on here as much as they'd like. However, when you go over two months without posting, that draws the line. If you have school, that is fine, but please, for the sake of the board, make a decision. If you want to be a moderator on GuitarTricks, make an impact. Personally, I want to make a difference; I'd like to help improve the website, and I'd like to take it to the next level, as far as that goes.
If anyone has anything to add about this, please, feel free to do so.
