"set number" would imply that someone higher up the chain than axumblade or torillian gives a damn about what goes on here <_>.
Mods are just normal posters too, though, and leave the site for perfectly normal reasons.

It's true that ioi doesn't care about us VGC heathens anymore, but wasn't Axum given all Mod-related issues to handle? Including how many Mods are given Modtastic powers.

he said recently enough that while some of the number analyst talking here was pretty much bollocks based on numbers which people were taking as 100% accurate he did say it was generating loads of lovely hits for all the adverts on the site :D I'm sure he cares that this place is run in a manner which gets a lot of visiters each day and that is exactly the way the forum is right now.
But yeah @Mr Khan I know that the mod team here are just people who want what's best for the site and are heavy handed with the bans/rules rather than ever leave it get so bad as to be unmoderatable. I mean imagine if our mod team here went to clean up somewhere like N4g right now? there wouldn't be a single member of that place not banned for the next 30 days... most of the "article" writers would even get yer wrath lol.

I was actually reading a thread on N4G earlier today, having never visited the site before, and was genuinely shocked by how terrible the community there is. They openly attack each other personally in threads.

Yeah their "moderation" basically comes in a form of Liking and disliking peoples posts, if you get enough likes you get to comment more on individual articles if you happen to comment poorly or go against the hivemind in any way you get disliked to the point where you can only say 1 comment in any article and if someone replies to that comment you cannot continue in the conversation.
That system might work if the community there had half a brain between them but now it has just been abused basically that the people who say the rattyist and nastyist of comments get voted up by trolls who love seeing vile comments made by these guys so they give them even more ammo to spray shite everywhere. It really is the sess pool of gaming forums online imo.
