Apple Mobile Devices + Accelerometer Control
If the Scratch creator itself ever comes out on one of Apple's mobile devices(iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, iPhone nano, iPhone shuffle), should we have accelerometer controls? That would be nice. I have suggested this before, but think--I think I would be able to create a cheap Riddim Ribbon .sb in Scratch. That's a sweet game.
Oh, and, by the way, if you're wondering what I meant in my first sentence:

It probably won't, it probably won't.
...and why are there so many "Community Moderators" around lately? What's the difference between them and Forum Moderators? Or were they just renamed? How do I become one?

New Community Moderators were elected by the Scratch community. In four months from the beginning of their term, if the Scratch Team decides they should take a break from moderating, they'll lose their mod powers and a new election will be held to fill in any new slots that have appeared. There were four new community moderators elected in May; old forum moderators were retitled "Community Moderators" but their responsibilities remain the same. Community Moderators, old and new, will be given new responsibilities on the main site around August.

Re: Apple Mobile Devices + Accelerometer Control
There is now a clause in the Apple SDK Terms of Service that prevents anything written in Scratch to ever end up on the iPhone:

An Application may not itself install or launch other executable code by any means, including without limitation through the use of a plug-in architecture, calling other frameworks, other APIs or otherwise
The only way around this is if Scratch was somehow executing Javascript in Safari

Re: Apple Mobile Devices + Accelerometer Control
Yeah accelerometer input would be nice, but it could make for platform dependent scratch programs, and that might be a bad thing.
(In case this is useful to you, I got the Wiimote tilt sensing to work in scratch:
