Thank you both for the warm welcome!

That's really good to hear because I was a bit nervous about joining. However, I'm really glad that I did and the welcomes have certainly made me relax more.
From my time, I've noticed that the AVEN admods don't always have the best reputation and I could see why some members aren't too fond of them. Though from my point of view of the team in general, they're nice and hardworking people and all, but we just so happen to have personality clashes sometimes. Hmm...

It happens.
The main reason why I've been sticking around is so that I can at least do what I can to help AVEN and its members. A lot of things I cannot do without having the majority of the team agree, so I try to focus on little things that I can do to still improve, like projects that would help the members. I don't really like to just sit back and do nothing. Besides, that's basically the reason why I wanted to became a mod in the first place. I mean, I know that not everything and every idea will go through, but it does start to become more and more discouraging over time.
But I didn't really come here just so I can rant.

Although, "bringing it to the team" would probably 9/10 not change anything (and would likely be a waste of my time bringing it up). <-- Yikes! That sounded bitter... I don't really have conflicts with anyone (at least not that I know of), but the personality clashes can get pretty frustrating. It's just relieving to let it out and having people listen.
