Of the 5 people that moderate this game, only two of those people have made moderated action in the last week. Actually, the last month. Actually, the last six months. Actually, an even longer time.
One mod doesn't even log into speedrun.com anymore. One mod hasn't made a moderation action to the game in 3 years. Joker hasn't even made an action here in over a year.
The only two people who I see make any sort of action towards the board is tuo and Master. I've been patiently waiting for 0.7 to get added to the board, but that time has not come.
The version has been out for quite a bit now, and it's not been added. It's also quite variable for how long a run might take to get accepted. I think it sucks for us runners of the game, and it might be worth recruiting some newer active players of the game to fix said issue.
The game isn't as super popular as it was when it first released, but I think I'm starting to see an influx in some new people. Hey, we even reached 300 followers here. Isn't that something?
I don't know who all would volunteer (nor do I really know if I myself would be qualified for it), but it might help boost the general flow of our speedy edutainment corner of internet we use. I still have a lot to learn about all of this stuff, but I think it's something to consider for the future :^)

This is in no hate to any of our current mod overlords, as I really do appreciate the ones still modding here to this day. I just fear this game may be a dead board one day.
From my own perspective there aren't a lot of people the moderators can promote because there aren't a lot of people who are trustworthy enough to become moderators. If the currently active mods choose not to add more moderators, we can always remind them to add new updates (if there are any) in our speedrun descriptions.
I get that perspective, but it's not even a matter of them forgetting to add a new category or anything, sometimes they just can't be here often to approve runs and make those changes.
Often times when I get on, most runs are already verified. Tuotelly's been doing a great job with it, and we have no categories or anything to add, or rules to change, so there's really nothing for me to do. Thanks for the concern though.
