Mod testing can be long and tedious at times, but it can be fun and joyful too. This is to say, mod testing is only for those that have a real dedication to it. As such, the turnover rate on Mod Testers tends to be high as Testers can quickly become "worn out" when they don't realize what they've gotten themselves into.
