Why not strip the moderator title from those who do not come here and give it to someone who is active on a daily basis? You could pick the most active members who positively contribute to threads around here. Or maybe promote the current moderators to Super Moderators?
Inactive moderators are of no use to the forum. A little cleanup might be in order. The mods do a good job here as spam is quickly eliminated and the scammers are dealt with. No complaints here. Sure, an occasional bad attitude from some moderators and unnecessary taunting occurs, but overall it runs pretty smooth.

Hey everyone,
I'm going to parse everything mentioned in this post, and see what changes we can make to the forums to bring it back up to snuff. I'm fairly new to IB, but we aren't letting this or any of our sites fall to the wayside. Definitely think a banner change is something we can do easily.
If there are any questions about me, or for me feel free to ask. My DMs are always open.

To be honest, there are lately so many new crap users over here who totally have nothing with RC that it is hard to believe some new guys speaking out he can work on this forum. Give those guys an important status (like mod/admin) so we can see with who we are dealing with.

So, I maybe way off base, but it seams like this forum was designed for RC'er who are both new and old to the hobby. For the new guys, it helps them learn how to get into the hobby and be competitive on the track or how to make the proper decisions when purchasing anything related to RC. The diehard RC'ers might come here to look for something to spark their excitement in the hobby when things are looking a little dull. When nothing exciting is sparking them, they seek other reasons to come to the forum, so they strike up another topic. A lot of guys are leaving and not returning because things have gotten really dull in here and with the hobby. When they do try to engage in a conversation, there's always that one guy who has to throw attitude in conversation and kills the mood to continue to return.
Now, here we are... a bunch of grown men in a toy forum, arguing over how the forum is being run. Please don't think I am bashing anyone, because I'm not. I'm one of the arguers. I'm not even pointing at any particular person. I just think it is quite interesting and somewhat amusing. I'm actually siting here with a complacent attitude.

This section of the forum is actually designated for topics such as this one. No one is arguing, we are “brainstorming” so that we might come up with ideas that will help the forum. Complacency is fine, not everyone wants to get involved. Enjoy the forum and hopefully something good comes out of us bantering ideas around.

It would be nice to see manufacturers coming in here once a month to give updates on what they are working on and maybe do some q&a sessions. I know they do it on Facebook, but not all of us are on Facebook or even care to be. By having company reps in here, that would build a lot more trust and value to their brand.
I have purchased items from company reps on here, where before, I would have never thought of buying their product because I didn't know they had it.

I would like to see some incentive to encourage people to post and interact. Dealers could offer promotional discounts to contributing members here.
