Fen? Why are you doing all the updating? What the heck do you have moderators and other Admins for?!
If you are the main pixel baby at the moment, You shouldn't even be doing the adding of the items into the system. There should be an Item Admin that's sole job is to add items and fix item names, and if someone has an item problem - They can fix it. (Considering the types of awesome items here - might need to be two people.)
And if you feel members can't see what staff is doing. Then just let the members know what staff is doing. I see Demonskid, Ultima, Gallagher, and Lucid - all the time - bless them. Maybe I just hang out in the threads they do.
When other sites had the same problem they asked the Mods and Admins to combine together to create a sort of "Meet the Staff Party" - where members know they can talk to the Staff. <3

Sorry if it sounds like I'm pushy... I am. :P BUT! I'm also an anthropologist who studies online communities. <3 And I notice this site has a GREAT bunch of members! <333
