but as a volunteer it's just not something you can ask of me given the amount of time it takes and the relative thanklessness of doing it.

The personal touch of the moderator began to deteriorate.

You can only be so patient for so long. When POG first started I was religious about updating things like the calendar and so forth, or updating links in the sticky, but like citanul said it's easy to outgrow your forum where it no longer is important to send a personal PM after doing this for years now.
Thats why in STT's case citanul and I offloaded most of the more routine work to first tigerite and bluefeet and now wiggs and DevinLake. It's just too much work to ask for volunteers to give THAT much attention to what eventually becomes really routine situations. STT is a fairly high traffic forum but I expect the problem is much, much worse in BBV4L and OOT.
