I've been called an "executive producer," "senior producer" and "editor" when I've worked for others, and I prefer the term "editor" when I work for myself.There seemed to be a trend for a while there for newspapers to use broadcast journalism terminology for their .com employees. (At one place I worked, that was to avoid a conflict with the union, since the paper did not want .com jobs covered by the Guild.)
I think "host" is a great term for forum moderators, much friendlier than "moderator" or the awful "admin." "Webmaster" implies a code jockey. (As a proud geek, I'm comfortable with that. Some aren't.)
Ultimately, yes, we all *are* making this up as we go along. ;-)
