Lets not discuss who deserves to be a mod and think of ourselves..
This thread isn't about ourselves, this is about the people who have recieved it due to their hard work and love for the community. If this is true for you as well, than perhaps you'll recieve moderator status in this community one day, but until then, just remember all you need to be a positive participant is to be a good member.
Once again, congratulations to you all.. You've earned it.
