Well, it's January, which is the traditional time to hold a moderator election on Server Fault.

My question is; do you think we need one? I'd like input from everyone - new users, regular users, high rep users, current moderators and even SE staff.

Things to note:

1. We haven't had any moderators retire in the past 12 months
2. If you think we do need an election, state how many people you think we need
3. Do we need to focus only on a specific timezone/timeframe?
4. This is not an official moderator election thread; if people decide we need one then we still need to approach SE themselves and ask them if they concur, as they have the final say.
