Regarding the forums being established... except for the Community Discussion forum and a few of the threads on the Off Topic section (the aforementioned forum games), the rest of the forums are very under-utilized. In the case of the forum games, they could be conducted through a new-style forum system just as effectively as on the old one, I feel.

Regarding moderators... that is a fair point. It would be up to the community as to whether we want to even use that user right group, or whether we simply want to keep the Rollback/Admin/Bureaucrat setup as we have currently. I wouldn't be opposed to using Moderators, or possibly bundling the Rollback and Moderator jobs together into a "half-admin" or something similar. Of course, that sort of talk is putting the cart ahead of the horse, since as of now we don't have the new forums and there isn't a discussion to activate them.
