Moderators simply keep an eye on the forums and make sure none of the rules are broken. Their biggest task is likely deleting posts from spam bots as they come (gil sellers, etc), moving threads to the appropriate places, and keeping important threads updated. The important thing for moderators is that they visit the forums frequently (preferably daily if able). Moderators ideally should also take the initiative in posting news in the Headlines if other users have not done so first. Keeping the forums active while ensuring as non-bias of an opinion as possible is generally a good thing as well.
I'm not sure I really want to redesign the entire site from scratch. It's taken a long time and a lot of hard work to get it where it is now function-wise. I'm pretty content with the overall layout and user interface, though I'm open to suggestions of course. The only thing changes really necessary are purely graphical (banner, background, colors, etc)
The aforementioned teaser site for linkshells/companies is something that requires from the ground up building though. So that may be right up your alley, Deir (and no, not the alley you're thinking of!). Preferably something flashy, but simple as well. This was our last teaser site: http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/guildteasers
