I've been looking for a way to step into the speedrunning community and I thought that I could speedrun a game named Fire Emblem Awakening. I went to the page and there are only 2 categories... huh... thought there might have been more categories based on the 4 different difficulties that the game has, but whatever. I then found multiple threads and two really caught my eye. One was about my thoughts on the lack of categories for the multiple difficulties and the other was about emulation. Cool, two things that you'd expect moderators to message about on the threads and address it within 1 year or 1 month, nope. No moderator has changed anything or given any feedback, for a year! Even going back to the very first post and all other forum posts for four years no moderator has ever commented on a post or changed anything. On top of that, the game doesn't have a lot of runs uploaded. Only 31 runs have ever been done, in all categories.
Before I end this post with a message here are my reasons that there should be a new mod or the moderators should step it up.
Reasons: Mods haven't uploaded ANY resources to the board. There's only one mod that's ever contributed to the board apart from run verifications. Mods haven't answered forum questions for 4 years. Requests for new sections haven't been considered. The board has been generally inactive. (Referencing the graphs in statistics.)
Disclaimer: I hold nothing against the moderators of this page, however, I do think that they should be held responsible for not answering the questions of people who speedrun the games for 4 years, but that's just my opinion.

There's a dedicated thread for requesting to become moderator for an existing leaderboard:
https://www.speedrun.com/the_site/thread/dueac/1
Read the requirements carefully before making a request.
Also you can contact the moderators using their contact info. Try addressing them about these issues directly.
