I feel like a lot of people around here expect a lot of the moderation and maintenance staff here at BCTS, but that they don't tend to get nearly enough recognition for all the hard work they do.
As such, I would like to take a moment to list them all, so we can all show each of them the love they deserve.

What, were you expecting more?
Folks... I know a lot of us think of BCTS as this huge institution of a web location. For some of us it's been part of our lives for most of two decades.
But BCTS isn't some massive corporation.
BCTS isn't a crew of 200 people working together with nigh-unlimited funding to provide a public service.
BCTS isn't some Ur-deity that simply exists and will always exist.
BCTS is a core of like 4 folks, mostly disabled, retired, or both, working diligently to try and keep the lights on and the servers from spontaneously exploding.
And of those five, there's only one of them whos's here probably 80+ hours a week, fixing your messed up chapter orders, correcting your improperly formatted tables, moderating the blogs and comments, and all the other 'little' admin duties that add up to one supreme headache.
Erin Halfelven.
Please keep that in mind when something goes wrong. When it takes a bit for something to get fixed. When you have an issue with your account, or anything else.
Everyone on the BCTS staff works hard, long hours, for what amounts to below minimum wage, to keep this place going.
So, please: let's show them the respect and appreciation they deserve.

like I said to Erin and company Thank You for all the work you do
Thank you all for all you do!
Thank you all for all you do! You are an amazing group of wonderful people. Without you many many authors wouldn't have a safe place to post their wonderful stories.
