I was given moderator access when the site came back online... I especially do take notice when I see downvotes on articles.  However, I do have a full time job, family and other things going on so I don't always catch it all.  I can't speak for the other guys, but I do try to check a couple times a day.

I also make an effort to comment a few times a day as well.  I don't think most people are using this site for comments so much as a news feed.  I realize reddit does have more discussion, but I don't think it always works as well as a direct feed.

I don't think it's dying so much as it really never had a strong following with people that would otherwise comment.  I really do appreciate this site/feed as it does show a lot of relevant content that isn't so overloaded and is more specialized than hacker news.

Totally understandable, and thanks for dedicating your free time to this. It wasn't criticism of the mods, obviously. Just a cold, engineering look at what is going on (from my point of view). To me there are only two ways to approach this: more mods, and / or automodding. Neither seems likely, so I don't see myself coming here much longer. But I am sure there will be plenty other users interested in what the site has to offer!
