Why do the @Jebediah Kerman @Bill Kerman @Bob Kerman @Gene Kerman @Wernher von Kerman test accounts have such high rep? Also why do they have high user numbers despite being created before @aLeXmOrA's account (which appears to be the first legit account)

Some of those accounts had artificially inflated post counts and reputation so that, e.g., Jebediah Kerman wasn't called a "newbie" or whatever the forum called brand new members in the beginning.

Are moderators payed?

No. We offer our time, service, and talents to the forum community for free. We are regular forum members, just like you. We have accepted a layer of responsibility to provide gentle nudges to keep the forum running smoothly. :)

like you say for example:''is there a thread about writing configs?'' and then the owner or others link a thread with that topic

We have the search function in the upper right of the screen?

They gain better karma.

They are Kerbals. They should.

Did the forum layout change? I could of swore the community tab was near the bottom of the forum, now its near the top?

Look, just because the community tab is near the top even though it used to be at the bottom doesn't mean that the forum layout has changed. Capice?

Yes, the Community section has been moved up a bit to give it better visibility. We are currently testing this new placement.

I have a question after reading the page : How do you become a moderator?

Sometimes we invite applications, and sometimes we just invite someone we think would make a good moderator. We look for people who are helpful on the forum and good written communicators. We're not looking to add to the team right now, though.
