Looking for mods of DMHG Fic Exchange
Hi!
I'm looking for the original moderators of the DMHG Fic Exchange. I've been looking at their journals, and a lot of them seem to be deleted or inactive.
I want to talk with them about the possibility of making the DMHG Fic Exchange a rescued archive over at AO3, through the Open Doors project.

It's my understanding that the community was not intended to go inactive/closed/shutdown, but to remain as an open archive for readers to continue to peruse for years to come. However, it did require moderator approval to be added as a new member, but it seems like it's been years since new members were added.
"1. Are you closed?
No, we are not closed. dmhgficexchange will remain an active community. We will continue to maintain the archive of gifts as well as community memberships. The only activity we have retired from is the big one: hosting Draco/Hermione gift exchanges. We feel confident you will not lack for such fests given the options currently available."

Has anyone heard from them/have contact with them?

I'm currently contacting Dreamwidth, and asking to be made a community administrator of dmhgficexchange (https://dmhgficexchange.dreamwidth.org) so that access to the fanfic can be preserved.
