There are just too many on this board. Lately it seems like everyone but me is a moderator or an administrator here.
It's just like in kidergarden when the kids made the no Ash2 club and guess who was the only kid who couldn't join.
So the question is who do you have to sleep with to get some power around here?
And who else thinks there are too many administrative- chefs spoiling the board- kitchen right now?

As of today, there are 625 members, and 18 mods/admins. That is a small fraction of mod/admins per board member. We tend to be among the most active posters on the board, which makes it seem like there are droves of us. I haven't really been involved in the promotion of anyone lately, but the way people become mods is by being an active poster, and earning the respect of the present mods/admins. Or just if Unsavory likes you. j/k. There has been a flux of new members in the past month and a half, and a number of them are pretty active. It's important to have active mods and admins now more than ever. I think the "show of force" is one big reason why this is such a good board, with thoughtful discussion.

All mods and admins are posters who have been around for a long time and have contributed in some way to the site over the time it has been around. Mods are generally voted on, at least as of late, among active members who have contributed to the site for a long time and have acted in a mature manner. (I realize maturity and contribution are both debatable. Thus, the tendency to hold a vote.)
Generally it is preferred that these people contribute more to MST3k related discussions than anywhere else. Being a moderator isn't that big of a deal around here, at least in my opinion. It's just kind of a nod.
Administrator is slightly different. All of the admins here participate directly in one of the sponsoring sites, except yousonuva, who was just recently promoted.
It's kind of good that you bring this up, simply because I wasn't aware that anyone was bothered by the way things were run around here. Still, I fail to see what the big deal is really. As Blurryeye pointed out, the ratio isn't really that extreme. It's just that to be a mod or admin you have to be a dedicated member, so it looks more disproportionate than it actually is.

Actually I think we have enough mods and shouldn't add another for a while.

What’s the matter? Don’t you want a well moderated board? Or do you want it to be like the old Sci-Fi board? I wasn’t around for that, but from what I hear it was a mess.
Also like Blurryeye said, we tend to be some of the most active posters, so were seemingly everywhere. (Like in this thread for example.)

Yeah, but I think we have more than we need for the amount of members, boards, and posting.

It's a fair ratio and it's not decided on by post count or anything else. We have just enough people to where we have someone online to correct any problems at any time of the day. It is very rare that there is no one here. The number is good and everyone contributes in their own special way.
Thanks for the comments though and it's good to know that you're looking out.
