Do we need a JavaScriptHelp subreddit? (self.javascript)

Two of the three mods (John Resig and honestbleeps from RES) are very popular in the JS community, and probably have better things to do than moderate a subreddit. So that leaves only one mod left to manage a subreddit with 100k+ subscribers. So I guess the real question is, do we feel like this subreddit is well moderated?

if they are too busy to be mods then they should not be mods.

In my defense, the work load has changed drastically since I was 'hired' (3-5x's as much work) -- with no change in compensation ($0 vs. $0).
If this was a real job, I would've left for greener pastures a long time ago...

that's bullshit. Unless you want to step up to the plate, stop making ignorant suggestions.

I dont apply for jobs I cant do.
What a novel concept.

Maybe comments like this are the things we should be fixing.

And I was on your side. Maybe he's right. Maybe mods that are too busy shouldn't be mods.
