Also, with the exception of tore, allow members to vote mods out, and let them vote mods in, subject to at least tore's approval.
Follow that advice, and I'm likely to resume starting (good) threads, the lack of which is helping to suck life out of the forum.

Hell ****ing no, if our problem is that the forum is cliquey, (and it is), then this will only result in the cliques forming voting blocs and throwing everything all to hell. We aren't a large enough group to use that method - it would simply be too easy to abuse the system.
I agree with tore being level headed enough to fill the role you describe, but at the same time I think tore is in some ways too idealistic to keep the spirit of the forum as it is, and besides which, that sort of wholsesale change in structure would have to go through more than just the mod team - Yac would need to be involved and I just don't see him being willing to change the way the forum works on that scale.
