Please dont' forget that the boards and the "membership" were reset within the past year. Many administrators who appear "new" have actually been a part of TMS for over three years. I, for one, had over 200 posts when we went to the new boards, but I haven't had as much time to be active as I used to now that there's a new baby in my life.
I've always looked at TMS as more than a banner exchange, but I also acknowledge the fact that muds ARE exchanging users because of this site. There's no one thing that TMS is, and it's different things for different people. I don't reallly feel that it's necessary to try to make people feel completely unwelcomed simply because they don't run their mud the same way as others.
