Hey guys, I know I don't spend much time here, but I'm gonna say a few words from an outsider's point of view, which may or may not be welcome.
First of all, I think this thread was an excellent idea, it shows initiative, and it also shows how much you all care about your Forum in that you would prefer to actually have a Mod (or two).
Secondly, with regard to the fact that you believe the choice should have nothing to do with you because of your apparent misjudgement over Kit, I think you're being too harsh on yourselves. Regardless of Kit's deceit, she did moderate very well, and did the best anyone could have done for the forum.
In particular, A.D, you are being extremely immature mate. Feeling bullied? I read the entire thread twice before writing this and didn't see any insults towards you, or anything that insunuated things against you at all.
Of course Raz will make the ultimate choice, but I truly believe he will be glad of the interest shown by most members, of the ideas you've come up with (about having two mods) and of the fact that you all are so upset by the Kit situation that you really don't want it to happen again.
Sorry if I've upset anyone, but I've given an unbaised opinion, hope it helps.
