Have the Admins ever replied to you? Do you have any evidence that your input was ever responded to with some kind of action? It's hard to know for sure, but my educated guess is that the posts to Admin are not assigned to any one of the Admins, and they just fall between the cracks. You can find a listing of the admins icon is at the bottom of the main page. I wonder how many are still active.

Gob is around here all the time; Daisy, sometimes, but often missing for long stretches; Reality Bytes is AFAIK usually too busy IRL unless Gob specifically needs her help; tyro? I didn't remember that he was ever an admin here. You're probably right about responses from the admins, but members can usually get in touch with Gob, Daisy, or RB via PM (or Facebook, if you know who they are).

Oh, and hi there, Methuselah! Long time no see. Hope you find it comfortable here.

Hopefully changing back the registration system will get rid of them. I'll delete any residual posts.

Gob, did change back the registration to the way it didn't work before, or does the change allow newbies trying to register to reach you via the "Contact Us" icon?

That's what I was thinking.
