You put a little bit of your life into something, and sometimes you maybe get a little bit back out. I know how much of 'chelle's life was put into this, and what a great amount we all benefited. Certainly we can afford to give her a little time and space. All of the Mods and Coords here, whether we get along with them or not, are (for all practical purposes) doing this freely as volunteers. Without this the site could not exist. The Members are getting the meeting place and a Gallery to exhibit their work, for free. Sometimes the Rules do not make much sense, but at least no (Member) can argue that they paid too much. As for "fun" things, interesting tutorials, answers to life's questions... That's pretty much up to the Membership to put in. There are a great group of folks here, and I expect you all to keep the Forum alive.
