Thanks for stepping in and saying something, even when you were busy with life. It's nice to see responsive staff on this forum. It seems like you and the rest of the staff really care about the community, and it makes me smile to see as someone who's still understanding this place. :)
I feel like I shouldn't be posting this next part here (due to being relatively new here and all), but I wanted to let y'all know that new people do notice and care about how the staff handle themselves. While every member should make the community welcoming and friendly for everybody, staff decisions are a large part in defining the tone for a forum (or anywhere, really). They help guide where their community goes in the future, although how large that role is depends on the situation.
So, for the staff who remain - keep doing the good things, and do your best! I certainly have faith in you to do the right thing for the TLW community.
