For as much as I post/contribute to the Co8 community, and for as little I've seen of some of the "Edler" moderators (ie: those who moved over from the Atari custom portraits thread) (edit) as of late (/edit) i think it's only prudant.
IMHO, what we actually need is for the existing moderators who are experienced modders and coders themselves to post and contribute their thoughts more often. While the engine may not offer as many opportunities to mod as compared to NWN, I believe there still is work that we can do to make it better. I hope to see the original core team of Co8 modders guiding the community members more often and giving the work on mods more direction.
