I don't know how to prove it, but I did indeed make this subreddit a while back. My name was schmeeb if I remember. I deleted my account because I noticed one of my real life friends in another subreddit and started talking to him, and then realized I was the moderator of an aneros forum, and I didn't want anyone of my friends to know about it.
I don't really know why I'm posting this, maybe name recognition, but I thought you all should know? I didn't post this before just cause I never rally cared to say, but now my subreddit has grown to 1,500 people almost….
Anyways I think it's cool. I thought the quote from ten_s_nut was the best, most unifying quote that summarizes the aneros experience in one sentence. I'm not sure how many people actually read that quote, but you guys should read it if you haven't.

I think that if you care enough you can approach reddit and they can make you a mod again. There is a process whereby subredits that gave been abandoned can be handed on to others to curate.
