Well Jacob_ that's a horrible way to run a site. Might as well make everyone a mod then. You don't need that many mods.
The goal is to have at least one mod on all the time, otherwise, people would wait until no mods were online and break the rules. And that forum was up for almost 4 years (it's still up, just dead) and we never had any problems... it must not be a horrible way of running a site then.
And there are 12 mods out of 48 active users (according to the admin CP, and that doesn't include the people that only login once or twice a week), so your estimate of 20 active users is very wrong.
25% of this active community consists of moderators. That's still a lot of moderators knowing that a some of them are never online. Also if it takes 12 mods to handle 48 users than you have horrible moderators I understand when roblox users come and spam but that only happens every few months and you can just IP ban everyone who joins from roblox and starts spamming. I'm not trying to tell you how to run your site I'm just giving you my opinion.
