Honestly, I haven't a clue.

Fancy new blog feature, eh? I honestly don't know my feelings on the whole feature. It's not that I don't like it, it just seems, how do I put it?

Glittery.

I don't know if that makes sense to any of you guys that'll read this, if any, but to me it just seems like a glorified forum profile or something. I'm just looking for things to complain about I guess, things to fix, even when there's nothing to fix.

I guess that comes from all the things that've gone on today in the staff, so much productivity and so much change only begets more so I suppose, it's only natural, it's basic physics, intertia; an object in motion wants to remain in motion.

Did I really just make a comparison to physics? My god I really am Sheldon. I digress.

So as I've said, a lot as gone down within the staff recently: We lost a member, gained a member, and a whole lot of other shenanigans. In the end of it all, it brought up interesting things, primarily in regards to the senior staff and how we conduct ourselves.

I owe a lot to you guys, it may not be the reason I joined the staff, but the reason I remain is to help make this site and in turn it's members. It's weird, but every time there are scandals or such and the finger is pointed at us I take it very personally. It's a silly thought because I'm almost never the cause, reason, or aid of those situations, but I can't help but take the blame in some way.

This invisible wall between the users and staff needs to come down. I realize it's necessary at times; when we want to surprise you guys or if we're handling something fragile, but it doesn't need to be a baseless excuse thrown at most of the things we do. It creates a horrible secrecy that does nothing but invoke a sense of suspicion and paranoia between both groups.

I'm making this much more wordy than it really needs to be, maybe I feel I don't want Saikyo to one-up me but whatever. The crux of the matter is that this secrecy, excluding the necessary bits, needs to be abolished so that the chain between users and staff can grow healthy again instead of maintaining its pathetic state.

I want to help fix this, and to do this I'll keep you guys updated on small things going on within the staff. This won't replace Foxy's Community Posts of course, I'll omit the things to be announced but will instead inform the masses of the progress, meaning you'll know when we've decided and if the position is correct, when we're hiring.

Let's see how this goes in time.

Please excuse typos, I'm on my iPod.
