I think it's good you didn't receive staff until now in the same vein that I didn't receive staff until the point I did. At the start of our time on sythe we were both highly active but with the activity our lack of maturity showed through which would have made us poor candidates at the time despite no doubt wanting and striving for it. You seem to have found yourself to a degree in that sense as a more mature and capable person and it's showing in my limited view of your work around the site and your dedication, mod-rush or not, is great. Make sure not to burn yourself out and enjoy, the position is nothing if you aren't having a good time with it. Kudos.
