I've gathered some information regarding the last known activity of the Beta Testers + Kalcor.
I've used the latest known 'Last Activity', or when that was not available, the date of the last post.
At least 5 have had some activity since the start of 2017, another 6 last in 2016, 1 in 2015 and 1 in 2014.

5 Beta Testers for 2017, I don't think that's too bad.
But I indeed think that some respected members of the community should become moderators.
Because damn, some things are just getting worse and worse:

• A lot of new threads in the wrong sections, which results in good threads being pushed away.
• Just threads that make no sense, like creating a tutorial thread in which the poster just asks a question, whut? Or the Bug Reports section, people just asking scripting questions, whut? Actual bugs are being pushed further from the front page. I am thinking of compiling a list of actual bugs, just to keep track of what is really not working right.
• Spam bots, look at hariaharia in the General section. I've reported it for a few days now, but nothing seems to happen.
• The only threads that seem to be deleted are the 'Update' threads.
• People just not using the search function, or ******. Scripting Help has become such a low quality section.
• ...

Assigning a few new moderators wouldn't be a bad thing. If a Beta Tester reads this, don't look at this as being replaced or not being appreciated for the work you do/have done. Look at it as passing the torch... Passing the torch to more active members, who are already spending a lot of time on these forums and have gained a very positive reputation (I don't mean the reputation system here) and are willing to do this work. This will definitely raise the quality of these forums up again.
