Well, I know that aesthetics matter the least when deciding if I want to stay at a site or not. It's like only playing a game for its eye candy and valuing said looks more than actual game play or something. Matter of opinion, of course, but I think you will agree that you're here for either the community or content rather than just how pretty it looks.

Maybe the colored names works for the hive because there's only one theme and not twelve, since that's what I'm used to. Bolding is just to differentiate between mods and admins, really. I think colors were good when you had 6 different ranks in the staff (Owner should be included in an admin slot, they shouldn't be dissociate), but now that you have maybe 4, it really isn't that valuable. Some distinction should be made, though, between admins and mods -- That's the only real recommendation I can give with absolute certainty here.

I really think that activity isn't the only commandment of being a moderator. You have to represent the site in a dignified manner (Which I think only applies to about half the staff right now). I mean, some people in the staff might make good friends, but I would
never consider them for staff positions myself. I'd give all of those people mini-mod in whatever sections they're good at, then recycle and be selective in other areas. Remember, five amazing moderators is much healthier and beneficial to a site than fifteen shitty ones.
