I'm enough of a Old Time Internet Person to still think doing it ourselves is the best answer we have, but it takes a special kind of person to dedicate themselves to serving a notoriously fractious internet community that has no money and wants you to cater to their every whim. It takes an even more special kind of person to do it long term.

Indeed, which is why I stepped down from serving this community years ago. :-D I'm still super-grateful that the AO3 and the OTW exist, and that there are people willing to rotate in and serve in those capacities.
