While not a consideration, the lack of sysop activity in the forums was the culmination in me being nominated for sysop and being made a Forum Operator. You'll notice that a lot of the people who supported me then were wanting me to be sysop for the forums, because I was very active in them and clearly needed the wall rights to manage them.

If Dantman felt that the sysops should be moderating the forums, he would not have requested the Forum Moderator and Forum Operator groups to be created.
