no dog in this race, but i felt overwhelmed reading the sotg post while it was public and i'm a rando. i can see the mods losing steam. i didn't get the sense that the problems were easily fixable at all, it felt like there were issues across the board. at which point, it almost doesn't even matter who's right and who's wrong, i can see the mods throwing the towel in. modding is already high effort, add in the bandwidth needed to make substantive changes and it might be more than they could juggle. sucks to have a game closed on you overnight, though
