If you look at the bottom of the home page, you will see a list of those members who have logged in during the past 36 to 48 hours. Those names in green are the site moderators: Sam and Allius.
It is my understanding that they started as regular members and were among those who volunteered for the position some time ago. They are volunteers, not employees, devoting their time to help keep the site running smoothly.
Fergal is the site owner. When he signs in, his name is displayed in red. Cyberfreak is the genius who pulls the strings and keeps everything in order, but he rarely shows up in the display of recent visitors.
If you click on the "members" link at the top, Fergal is first and Cyberfreak is listed second in the default listings.
It is also my understanding that if either of these moderators resign due to other interests, a position opens. Fergal asks for volunteers, then makes his selection from that list. I know of at least two other members in the past who served time as moderators but are no longer active in that position. Those two have visited from time to time, but are not among the regularly active members in recent months.
You might also want to be aware that Fergal covers most of the site expenses out of his own pocket. He is paying for your content, wants and deserves quality posts.
