No. Don't blame my dog's butt. I'm not spewing excuses and saying I'm too busy to work on Tris, because if I had the items, I would make the time.

I've hoped for us to get ahead of the game for years now. I don't think that's what'll be happening here, though. I have no idea what's going on with Fen, I saw some wips but she got hurt at work or something. I don't have anymore details than that. Him has also gone mia, and Taiki told us ahead of time that she would not be available for this time of year.

Frankly, I'm pissed about our items situation, Illu. And I have been for a long time now. All of my efforts to get us more help fall through, and it's always the same damn thing. Life just gets too busy. And even if we had the items, we have no one to support the events and site fixes that we need. I honestly don't know what to do for this site anymore. It's a ghost town, staff included, and everything I tried to help make sure gets done around here doesn't get completed like it should, no matter how simple.

I'm at about my wit's end with this site. I really, really, honestly want it to bounce back and regain the strong identity I've heard about from users like you though the years. If I had the ability to make that happen all on my own, I would do it in a heartbeat. We have Coda floating around, of course, but otherwise? An owner that forgets about us (god bless him for paying the bills, though) and a former owner whose life is too chaotic to be dependable.

So... I don't know what to tell you. Any of you. If it would help, I can focus on one of the item sets I have instead of being so scattered so I can release some more commons or something, but that's a small bandage on a very large wound. I have nothing else. I need help. A lot of it. As much as I adore this site and its users, love is not what makes a business thrive.
