for me when it came to the helper mods it was more about the complete silence. the last thing anybody heard from the mods in an official, open capacity was march 1 on the mod plurk. there was informal communication happening in pps and in other people's plurks but the game went two months with nothing. the helper mods may have been waiting for instructions on endgame from kiss but they could have said something. i certainly don't blame them as much as kiss but they're not without implication in this. not all of us have kiss added and i learned more from anon comms in the end than i did from any of the mods.
