It's worked well so far in almost every occasion; few would disagree that Ish has been very effective with gun balancing, Kat has at least tried to get some business changes rolling (it's rough at the moment because the developers are so busy), Ulti has completely revamped the PR team, and Black was working wonders on ETA right up until the time that his computer died. I will admit that the PSA position didn't turn out quite as I had hoped, and I think Amber started to feel like she was a little unnecessary, so that was a mistake on my part. I need to find a way to give that position more of a voice with both the players and the staff. SM has been active, then inactive, then active again so many times; I am hoping to be able to talk to him and get him around more again, because he really does know a lot about Gangs when it comes down to it.

I think you're kidding yourself if you honestly believe that there isn't enough mature, sociable, active and reliable potential staff members who log on daily. Don't take that the wrong way and assume I'm talking about myself, I'm just one of the many.
Ish has done a great job, working at a nice pace to release changes but with the amount of skins being sent in every day I think a few other people need the rights to add them, not just him.
Katbot has always had a mentality of maintaining things, never really attempts to change things for the benefit of many, what you're saying could be correct, he's tried and with the active development of the new gmap it might have been unsuccessful but we've all heard the same thing time and time again from him. It's an easy fix with Businesses to create some sort of hype to not look like you're doing nothing but I haven't seen anything or any attempts so I'm just assuming he has done absolutely nothing, which we have seen time and time again by this player.
Ultimose in himself is a great PR, I haven't spoken to one person who has complimented his ability to find great PRs though, I wouldn't call his team amazing or anything to be excited about, haven't met a single player who has disagreed with me.
Blackfires is a good PR and a decent ET but I haven't seen an active ET team during his reign, everyone has massed at least once a day during the peak times and still no ETs get on tag and host.
Amber... PSA... I think we all warned you on that one.
PSA is essentially another Administrator position, it was designed to look over; GPA, ETA, FAQA and their teams. If you were to bring it back I would suggest making it something like that again, someone who is willing to make tough decisions that may step on the toes of the current staff but will benefit players over all because those current staff on this positions aren't doing anything.
Now don't get me wrong, your development team is doing great, pushing out new content whilst in the mean time creating a new gmap, that's something that shows potential but some of the current PRs that you just threw into these positions aren't doing a good job at all.
Now I know we may have some defenders who will come on and attempt to argue my points so let me get this clear; I'm not belittling the team because I'm not on it or because I want to be on it or whatever reason you may come up with. I'm belittling some of the team because the statements are true, they promised to deliver something and have failed.
In all honesty, I myself am just getting sick and tired of caring about a game and a community no one else seems to.
