While they aren't moderators, they are certainly the curators of the area and drive interesting content. Although now it appears to me anyway to have become self-sustaining.
Although we have had a few "interesting questions and topics" in the Spanish-only sub-forum, the only real active threads in there at the moment are those related to the club de lectura and the introduction thread I created. And let's be honest, the book club could just as easily live in the Multilingual Room.
To cut a long story short, I think we should perhaps consider creating a bit more content in the Spanish-only sub-forum, in order to live up to rdearman's praise. I know everyone is busy and doesn't have a constant flow of conversation topics in their head (me included), but if you do think of something you think 'our Spanish community' would be interested in discussing in Spanish, please don't be shy and let us hear it.
