Im gonna +1 this because I do genuinely believe you'd make a good web mod with the current state that the forums are in. The traffic here is incredibly mild, and everyone before me has basically said that this would not be a huge step up in responsibility.
However I just want to provide a word of caution.
I do not know if you have ever struggled with burnout (in its truest form). Heck I know very little about every one here (although im looking forward to learning about everyone) But I do know very well what burnout looks like and this is the road to it. It is something we never strive to have happen. Oftentimes burnout is result of zeal that produces drive that cannot be contained. People fall in love with X for a while and put so much of themselves into X but because they have not practiced self control, limitation, and sabbatical, they end up Suddenly in a place they never imagined. With the thing they once loved now being something that takes from them instead of invigorates them. This exist in many facets of life.
an additional question to you would be. Have you ever practiced proper pacing with your interest/Hobbies? and furthermore, could you be a benefit in a greater way by remaining within fewer roles by learning how to work within constraints. Essentially, instead of being a jack of all, simply being a master of 1 (or 2 in this case)
With all that said. With the scale of dinks I do not think that the issues I've mentioned will appear at a fast rate in comparison to other pursuits purely because this is a smaller server as far as activity goes all around. However, it is something to keep in mind for your own protection, and when looking at the prospect of growth.
TL;DR Absolutely go for it. But please be careful!
