Didn't Jake have a post in this thread just a few days ago? I personally wouldn't say the admins are absent. Scarce maybe, but I'll bet they read the posts and are a little tired of having to defend their policies constantly. And if they are completely redesigning the site, they are probably up to their ears with work, so in my opinion being scarce is understandable. The site is working fine for the most part, and I think I can be patient and wait for the changes I believe they will be worth it.

(actually, I can hardly wait, but forcing myself to have patients )
