There have been occasions where most of the moderators have been busy doing other things (such as earning a living) and the forums have been left to look after themselves.
Within a few days Rumours & News starts to fill up with "how do I get an upgrade?" and "Is a PA-28 a better aircraft to learn in than a C-152", Tech Log gets questions like "what is an APU?" and so on.
The moderators keep the forums focused and prevent them from turning into an anarchistic and useless mess.
