yes, ultimately the regular posters will determine how good a forum is, i won't dispute that. moderation is a key to making sure that regular posters stay.
I'm not crying any tears for anyone who left a discussion because it wasn't modded enough.
The mistake Clark/tuq make when they put on the rosy mod-glasses is that they mistake their modding as their value, when in fact they were just really good posters.
All said, Assani by himself has probably contributed more to this forum (and other 2+2 forums) than every non-maintenance modding action combined in the history of the internet.
