So the moderators count for nothing?

  No, but you could scale up moderation in parallel with users over time.

  They count. But they aren't subject to network effects. There's no 'I can't moderate this site, because none of my friends use it' issues.

    Of course there are network effects for moderators. One major reason people volunteer to moderate Wikipedia is because it's in such ubiquitous use. A fork of Wikipedia with no community is just a content mirror and, because of network effects, you'll have an incredibly hard time attracting anyone to help out with it when they can just go to Wikipedia.
