Ok, now time for my own story.
I never spoke with any of the Staff until I was into my year of Hollowworld. I was always hearing rumors that they are crabby and what not..so I ketp to myself.
This past coming month I desided I needed to talk to Staff member to see if the rumors were true. The person I picked was SallyPirate. I talked with her for maybe 20 min's, just chatting with her about random stuff, I even asked her about the rumor, in which she said she had heard of but that the Staff arn't scary people.
Thread's about banning players got up on the fourms, one was Tybalt's. I remember posting my voice on the thread, paging through the agurments and taking everybody's words into account. After his banishment died down, I remember I asked each Staff member if they were ok. I know it was stressful to both player parties AND Staff parties, so I asked if they where ok, or if they needed cheering up.
I had asked Sally if she was ok after Tybalt's ban, and we got into a conversation. She told me some really nice things about myself, and then it got into a discussion about her comics, and thus lead to the Hollowween Comic for the ball.
While some people only speak with Staff about important Staff related issues, I found myself talking with Sally more about everyday stuff. I assume that's why it hit me so hard when she just up and left, because I had grown comfortable with her and talked to her more often.
Tbh, that's probley why I'm agressive toward this topic.
