That's kind of the Kinda Funny fanbase in a nutshell. Shawn Finnigan, Amy Gills, Trevor Starkey, even Joey Noelle, all have that attitude.
I can't speak for Shawn Finnegan (plus he was friends with them well before KF or even convisation with Colin) might mean Pitts but Amy, Trevor and Joey have always been really nice to me and have never seen even a glimor of upttyness from them, but I understand that they get a lot of messages across mutliple places so dont expect a reply straight away/1st time. These people all have real jobs aswell as dedicating a lot of their free time to the community. I really do think we should be thanking these people that you listed (not taking about facebook never login to the site and never really got into the group) they do a hell of a lot for the community.
But hey people would probably class me as the problem as went to KFL2 (from the UK) and meet everyone including mods and KF guys and spent most my time with Frank (articsloth). Then there are things like I have been name dropped on GOG even before my question was read (Kinda Hunnies one) get comments read on C&G semi regularly (but rarely comment unless have something important to say), I semi regularly get retweeted by the guys and the guys know me by name based on handle or face, but I am not a mod. Okay that might sound like a brag was not intended that way and intentionally cut some stuff, it was for context.
For those intrested and wanting to become more know it's not hard and does not require approval for Mods or any elite class, this is my story.
Up until the game awards 2015 I was a very silent member of the comunity sometime would be in the C&G chat and might of had a forum account but barely used it. Then i joined twitter just to send Greg the Nicole Tan video from her pax panel, since then I have intracted mainly on there but have also used the forums from time to time. My intention has always been to have fun, talk to people and cultivate a nice feed, never really in it for followers or shout outs etc. I tweet about myslef and tweet things i think my followers would like, so mainly KF but gaming, tv, films and also Bar Tender At Large/Mid life ballers, but also reply to people don't just watch, and most importantly I use the same picture I have on here, this meant a KFL2 so many people came up and said hi that i had no idea who they were as had photos that did not clearly show them or not them at all, Greg even complimented me on it saying it was good cause he could recognise me. I got more heavily involved when i decided to do an pretty epic trip for KFL2, organising a Cocktail evening on the Friday night at hardwater and tweeting my trip, which gained me a fair few follower, but had been growing before and after so don't think that is the only reason, was doing well before and since then have been steadly growing too, i don't do any follow me stuff or follow loads of people for the follow back, it has all been really organic and something I have enjoyed doing. Anyway thats my story if you are feeling left why not try doing similar, take cool screenshots and tag the guys from time to time, reply when you have something funny to add but don't just do it to get there attention do it for you, also be friendly and don't be rude expecially to Colin (or might get blocked) and try to engage with other members of the community and not just the "famous" ones, does not take much effort to do.
My motivation has been to connect with people at no point have i been trying to get a job, or become part of a in crowd etc, I have never seen the admins or anyone else actaully trying to get a job, well think thearticsloth has asked a few times but those are jokes usually followed by a nude/sexual comment, Frank is funny.
I don't understand the anger/hate for the mods in offical chanels (again NOT talking about Facebook dont know who they are and whats happened) that suddenly has come up these are really nice people that give up so much of their free time to make the community better.
