I guess I am missing what the issue is here?? The same people are in charge that have always been in charge. The moderators didn't die, they are still posting and still voicing opinions the only difference is that they are doing it as people instead of in the moderator function. Yes, Jason should have sent DL a pm and let her know what he was going to do before he did it, but that didn't happen, he can't change that it happened. I would venture to say that most of us (including me)didn't even know what a moderator was, I looked yesterday and have yet to find where the rules are listed, so I guess to answer your question of who is in charge, the answer is Jason and Austin, the same people that have always been in charge.
This is a great board and it's success is a tribute to the moderators that built it in the beginning and brought most of us here, this is my favorite by a long way of the 4 boards I read, and I don't think the changes that have been made will affect it one iota. The old saying put your finger in a glass of water and see how big of a whole it makes when you pull it out seems to fit here, this board isn't going to fall apart because 3 people are no longer moderators, the sky is not falling, there are 1209 members and while I have a huge amount of respect for each of them, I don't think the sucess of the board hinges on 3 of people.JMO
