yes and to pop in for myself - i know that running a resource site like pixel perfect takes a lot of time and effort, from my own experiences both with forumfilters now and another resource site that is now long defunct. while i may physically have the time to do the kind of basic site maintenance + advertising maintenance that kitten seems to have more or less on lock, i also know i just do not have the time or energy to deal with much more than that, which would obviously be a huge disservice to everyone else for me to just "hey i never want to be the adult in the room for literally anything" so. yeah. (it's just understandably easier and quicker to just say "i don't really have the time" and call it a day, imo.)

(i also know that val says she largely ignores this thread when she's puttering around the site, and given that we've seen how rare it is for leap or ulla to poke in here too, it wouldn't shock me too much if they do the same; kitten's said previously that tends to mostly get invested only when she's stopping us from reaching 10, so i don't think it'd be too far off the mark to say that neko is the primary staffer invested in this thread by this point - which isn't to shame any of the other staff since imo this is kind of chump change in the grand scheme of things, just establish the basic "lay of the land" so to speak as far as i'm aware of it. and imo it's definitely not fair to everyone else on the staff just to staff me - or anyone else for that matter - for the sole purpose of this thread - not that i think that's what you're actually suggesting, ginger, i just, y'know, wanna say that out loud so there's zero confusion about that.)

i just. end up in the counting thread a lot because i check pixel perfect often throughout the day from my computer and phone and it's an easy way for me to track when i last logged in, in a sense, l-lmfao.

1 but will we keep it, who knows
