My belief is that everyone starts out putting a lot of work into moderating their boards because of a mixture of trying to live up to the "expectations" and the excitement of being a jani on 4chan. As you get more comfortable your activity begins to decrease, as you slowly start to understand that being a jani is your reality you start to lose that initial excitement. When it comes down to it, being a janitor is a job, it's a task (and not one with any pay and little thanks), and most people would rather do what they find fun than a repetitive task.

It's important to take a break every now and then and not push yourself to strictly moderate for hours every day or else you will eventually lose all interest.
