Would it be possible for totallyobjects.com to take over the mechanices
of moderation of <news:comp.object.moderated>?

My understanding is that the server involved with moderating
comp.object.moderated was mailbombed and otherwise attacked, and it was
never resurrected...

That is correct.  I leant one of our systems to the group.  The person
who was maintaining it took a different job and could no longer spare
the time.  When some hackers took it down, it stayed down.  None of
the other moderators were able to pick up the load.  So it died.
