Quite simply, Mentors. It sums up all those categories Peta mentioned and then some, without being over the top or anything.

I think a one-word name or phrase would be best.
I know it's a bit weird, but going along the lines of the conversation-starting role, how about "dynamo"? Dynamos add a spark of energy but keep going with the momentum.
I also like Croz's 'mentors'.

Well, how about taking one of the words from the last posting and just have 'Sparks'? Just the thing to get a fire going...

Shouldn't it be something that 'does what it says on the tin'? Messageboard members have a lot of trouble working out there is a difference between hosts and moderators, because of the way that things work now. Something simple -
*name of messageboard* Team Member?
*name of messageboard* Community Guru?
*name of messageboard* Expert?

Astute, as always, Mina. 
How about 'xxx In Residence'? Such as 'Gardener In Residence' or 'Artist In Residence'? But that would mean you couldn't have the same name across all boards. Unfortunately, 'Guru' is already taken. How about 'Pundit'? Or 'Savant'?

If you call them 'Savants', they'll very quickly get nicknamed 'idiots'...
'xxx in residence' works fine for some boards, but they'll be some from the syntax will get pretty tortured. What about the cult boards, for instance 'Cultist in residence' does not sound like the sort of thing the BBC ought to be encouraging.

Bods.
So you've got the Cult bods, the News bods, the Gardening bods, the Tech bods, and so on. It sounds like they're just like everyone else but still know their stuff
