I don't think he was serious about his offer or that he succeeded in finding the profiles he was looking for. I sent him a private message on the same date the show was published, basically including the link to the telegram to continue the discussion about the details and he was active in the days following until 04-11 but he gave no sign of life. Perhaps he insists on communicating via the website's email, but there is no justification for this insistence if he is in urgent need of employees.
It is possible to think that he maybe decided that he was not as ready to take on moderators yet, maybe something happened that we have no idea about that made the emergency no longer to be an emergency, he may respond after a while, maybe they are no longer in a hurry.
For the OP, if you no longer need the moderators and you read this, please lock the thread.
