Quite basically there's a history of buffy boards, previous ones closed, and originally members from those closed boards came here, and so it was easiest to have both old and new usernames, so those who had changed names could be recognised. This board has naturally evolved from there so that most members don't know the origins of the board. And yes as you pointed out Allycat, Anya and Wesley are technically admin, but as they're expecting their fifth child (and yes as Anya's sig puts it "i'm expecting our fifth child, and people tell me I look so normal" 😀 ) It's simply part of the boards; we all lead very busy lives, such as I have just started university, we all have our other, every day life things to do, as well as this 🙂
