Ex- is a formal way for expression of "used to be", for example, my ex-wife, the ex-president ect. Former is a civil word for public use. Say former Prisident Bush.
论坛版主(Forum moderator)?? really do not know the correct word for this title.
Dark horse(黑马), usually people say black horse. Black is a color. Dark means not bright, does not mean a color. "At dark" means when daylight is gone. A black thing is always black whenever it is dark or bright.
The reason that I come here is for fun and share my experience with you guys. I am working in university as a teacher and a researcher in nutrition. I have the chances to go abroad 4-5 times a year and bring foreign friends to China for vivsting.

Thank you for your answer. Now, I know the better word for 论坛版主 is board manager. And I think you are a bright star rather than a black horse in this forum. I do many things just follow my heart or my feeling, so I find that my intuition is always right.
Now, I just want to guess your research field. From these key words such as nutrition, animal, analysis you gave us, I guess you are engaged in food science and nutritional engineering field. Right?
