The truth is that the higher up members forget their duties to the site on the lower end of things. Being an administrator requires you be a resource moderator in every resource section, being an administrator requires you moderate every forum and help everyone make their experience here as enjoyable as possible. Being a global moderator requires that you do everything for every lower area of the site. This doesn't happen, currently, rather the higher up members just hire new people to do the dirty work for them. That's a load of bollocks.

I have never seen a more disorganized and haphazard site as I have in the hive. Please take that I'm not insulting it in any way, but that this place needs a reform before it can even be considered a modding site as opposed to a WC3 MySpace (Look at the dumb profiles). If the hive wants to be taken seriously and not just be a safe haven for everyone that's too scared to go anywhere else, it needs to first start by redoing the entire staff.

I would take the current list of staff members and purge them all. Dedicate some admin with good and trustworthy judgment to reassign users to places based on qualifications and activity and dedication. God damnit, people, moderating a website is not a bloody job, it is a privilege. The moment you lose site of that, you are no longer qualified in the least to moderate the site on any level. There are a lot of strong users here and I'll be damned that yeah, I'm jealous that a lot of them choose to be here, but that's their choice. To squander such talent is blasphemy in the highest manner, treat the users here well by giving them a God damned staff worthy of their positions.

Man, you know, the hardest thing about lurking in the shadows here is that it pains me to see such talent wasted. There are so many strong users here and I'll be damned, if it were my call I'd treat them all like kings and queens for their qualifications. I only wish I wasn't the only one that thinks that way, the hive is more a slave-driven job for them than it is a place to have fun all things considered.
