Here's a link to a thread that holds more in depth information about MOTS and it's purpose if you haven't already read it: Linkie (https://feral-heart.com/smf/index.php?topic=20218.0)
Raz was the one who wanted to have this proposal, and until he says otherwise it will remain.
Having this proposal is a way to help with communication, and it does help. Sometimes we just might not get every question or suggestion that's presented on the forum or other platforms, and this is a way for the community to ask us directly through those three fluffs.
What drives me personally to continue this is due to it not only being tradition, but it also gives community members a chance to work with us and get to know us more on level ground, the same goes for us towards those individuals. We staff are so few people, and it is impossible for us to talk to and get to know every single FH member there is. Some people feel intimidated by us despite our attempts to come off as friendly and nice as well, and this is a good way for them to interact with us more and vise versa instead of just a passing "hi-hello" in-game before one of us has to log off.
