ugh so fucking true.
i know i don't have quite as much experience as you with the section or anything, but for the time i modded DM exclusively, everyone still didn't give a shit. and then they pretend that as much of a shit was given two or three years as is now, and it's just ridiculous.
to be honest, when people ask me why i stopped modding DM, it's because people there just aren't worth the effort. even when i tried to do more exciting things, nobody gave a shit. it's so hard to motivate them to do something, so they just blame it on the people who have left, when in reality, that's a direct result of the mindset of the people themselves.
