Everyone who wants to be a part of the site in an active role will eventually get a chance I think; but you can't make it fit an individual's personal goals for achieving that, even sometimes at the cost of disappointing someone you'd rather not disappoint.
Please trust me and the others when we say that there's quite a bit that goes into these decisions; a lot of factors to consider, a lot of discussion and a lot of very hard decisions by those who have to make them.
Don't take it as an affront if you come in second, just do your best to make yourself even more valuable so you can be in the next go-round.
I understand now. Muck explained it well to me in a PM. I'm fine and happy with d-day and DM being a mod. :D
