major this ^^^
been active on the site for probably 2.5-3 years accumulated & every single time i’ve been active i’ve always wondered where tess & nick were & theyve only gotten less active as time has gone on
it’s honestly baffled me how someone could create a project that gets this large (still small on the grand scheme of things but large considering we only have what, 3? admins) and then just go near radio silent
it’s very frustrating from a players standpoint to be making almost the exact same suggestions year after year & get the exact same standard answer of “that’s something only nick and tess can do” while nick and tess are like bigfoot to us and just never make an appearance
