2. The moderators no longer exist. Now, each forum has a Host.

I am one of those in the Photo Group. I'm not sure what their function is in the other groups.

I looked up the role of Hosts in General Discussion, and I found this:

Main Forum Hosts oversee Latest Breaking News, General Discussion, The DU Lounge, and DU Community Help. They are regular DU members who meet certain eligibility requirements, and any DU member who meets these requirements may volunteer to serve as a Main Forum Host. Main Forum Hosts have one responsibility: They lock threads which they believe violate a Main Forum's Statement of Purpose. There is a maximum quota of 15 Main Forum Hosts. Main Forum Hosts cannot serve for more than 90 consecutive days and must maintain a 100% chance of serving on a jury.

Hope this helps!
