I feel like since the userbase is getting so big, adding a few more moderators wouldn't be a bad idea. Supply and demand and all that jazz.
(then again i don't make the decisions but if i did, i'd bring in some more)
If I remember correctly, someone said the amount of mods haven’t changed in a while but I’d expect the amount of users got a lot bigger during that same time period
with 43K users (granted a lot of those are probably inactive), i feel like maybe adding moderators wouldnt be that bad of an idea. the current moderators are doing great at their jobs, but adding a few to ease their loads could prove good in the long run
