Elaborate on the first two.

The role of Historic Poster is essentially what you describe as Game Master. I'd prefer if the title went back to Forum Guide rather than Historic Poster though.

Does Forums really need more categories? Pretty good as it is tbh
New positions could be good, but they have to be correct, like a Game Master wouldn't really work for a number of reasons imo. But what I think forums would benefit more from is more active evony representatives and mods. These days I only see dave, ssf and surefire. Think the forums would greatly benefit from more, particularly with more members joining forums. Looking at site leaders is a lil depressing; says the admin here hasn't logged in since 2011.What happened to Dawnseeker btw?
Glad the group mail idea is proceeding, a very easy way which could get the active number up here
The forum, at this level of activity, honestly doesn't need more mods, not yet anyways. It could use another rep, but that's my personal opinion, not one as a mod.

We don't need more mods yet. Don't need 1 per person frequenting the forums lol.

In my opinion, we need to open up the forums to the player base, and bring fresh blood in. A lot of us old school 2009 players have left the game or take extended breaks quite frequently.

We need to open up the forums to new players as a place to learn, as well as invite current and long time players to actively make suggestions, and try to help the evony team by putting their honest input into positive threads on the forums.

I haven't always been the most positive person on here, but old school Buzz is back and coming to 186 with some big plans for my return to the game
One of the biggest issue of the forums being a learning environment is that there's not really anything that can be brought to the table in terms of new ideas. The battle mechanics have mostly been figured out and discussed over and over, and most of the other topics have guides. Actively making suggestions and discussing them though, would be excellent. I'd love to see the entire Off Topic section thriving again.
