January 2021 mod exodus

On January 25, 2021, 5 mods all left at about the same time.

Mods who left

Reasons are according to Weezor.

Mod	Status	Reason for leaving
CommieDog	Still gone	Unclear; contributing factors may have been stress over finals and the epilepsy incident
Chupa	Returned January 31 Proceeded to leave again on February 8 Returned February 18 Resigned February 20	Had "a long and retarded argument" between each other in mod chat
Jafi	Returned February 22
Govern	Gone (likely permanent )	Felt that the server was bad for them mentally and that they didn't fit in
Vithra	Still gone

Aftermath

Cereal, Nicoglasses, and Thumper were all temporarily promoted to mod to fix the resulting staff shortage. Cereal and Nicoglasses became permanent mods on January 31. Thumper later became a permanent mod on April 26.

As it is pretty "sus" for 5 mods to all leave simultaneously, this caused some drama and speculation "among" the community.
