Ah. I'd heard rumors to that effect, but wasn't sure. But that still leaves Janitor--didn't (s)he (I don't recall Janitor's gender offhand) act somewhat like a moderating influence? And I wonder what led FE to drop his Gus persona--perhaps he felt it wasn't necessary anymore, or something along those lines?
Regardless, my point still stands: if TVT is to survive, the current administration needs to have some people within who can act as moderating influences. ATT's administration already has that built in (so to speak), doesn't it?
On another tangent, should the conflict between ATT and TVT attract media attention, how exactly should we have it (or at least our view of it) be framed for them? Because if we play our cards right we can garner some much-needed support for our project and its success. And I wonder how the TVT administration would try to have themselves and their opponents be portrayed and how well that'd work in the media...

As for PR, no worries. I've made some announcements about us on some some writing sites and forums, plan to do so at as many places as possible, and so far, the reception is at worst skeptical (troping carries the understandable baggage of TVT with it), but since we aren't being run by TVT's admins, most of the response has been hopeful if not outright optimistic.
This early on, I'm more concerned about building the best website we can instead of PR (aside from raising attention to ourselves in the interest of drawing potential traffic), and we'll handle the media attention bridge when we get to that point.
In technical news, I'm currently tinkering with a prototype Sugar Wiki template for all SW pages. It shouldn't take nearly as much time to perfect as did the DW template, so I should have that rolled out and ready for a bot job pretty soon.
