i have PMed koltsixx multiple times but he hasn't replied. He is apparently very busy and hasn't posted on MFK since july 4. i even PMed him today but he hasn't replied.I haven't heard of any updates yet.
I don't believe chicxulub was simply a moderator, his status was head admin I believe. I'm guessing that finding a new head of admin could possibly take a bit more time than replacing just a mod.
koltsixx may be able to shed some light on this.
