Together, {{dew}} and infinitysnapz were instrumental in the construction, opening and current leadership of the [[YellowTealPurple]] forums, a site with which the tennis community served as an initial foundation of its active userbase. This has made them both technically the first since RabbitSnore to serve in an official capacity as both site admins and official tennis staff members. Letycjusz S. became the first member of the tennis staff to be added during the era of this site on March 1, 2025, as chosen by {{dew}} and TheChutley. TheChutley stepped down again from staff on April 12 followed by nm41 on May 29, the latter whom was then subsequently replaced by CRJ1 on June 10. | Together, {{dew}} and {{infinitysnapz}} were instrumental in the construction, opening and current leadership of the [[YellowTealPurple|{{YellowTealPurple}}]] forums, a site with which the tennis community served as an initial foundation of its active userbase.

At present, it maintains a bit under half OF the activity that the Tennis Cafes of old used to reach in their heyday, all in spite of the community being split between the forum, and various discord servers such as The Tennis Isles, which until its closure had acted as a refuge in lieu of [[YTPMania|{{YTPMania}}]] losing the interest of almost everyone. | ||
The Café thread had 4 original iterations on the Youchew Forums: the first opened on January 28, 2008 and was locked on March 31, 2008 after 104 pages due to the switch from the vanilla forums to the phpbb forums, marking the moment when site leadership was turned over to RabbitSnore and TINS. The second was opened on April 2, 2008 and closed on January 8, 2010 after 883 pages, the third opened on January 8, 2010 and closed on October 11, 2012 after 842 pages(with about 4 months of posts in early 2011 lost as a result of Youchew's infamous "Oz incident"), and the fourth and final iteration opened on October 13, 2012 and lasted until the closure of the YouChew Forums on September 29, 2018 after 494 pages. {{RabbitSnore}} upon briefly returning to the Youchew forums in January 2013 expressed his complete disbelief that the then current version of the thread continued to persist. The Café Thread on YTPMania was first opened on August 21, 2018, and lasted for 1,999 posts before being closed with the rest of the site at the end of the year (there are no pages in this version due to the unusual interface of the YTPMania forums). The current café thread on the YellowTealPurple forums opened on November 18, 2024 (with its first post being made as early as November 5 in order to establish its presence with the site's opening), and has seen 150 pages (~4,500 replies as of Feb 23rd 2026) as of present, and it remains the only thread on YellowTealPurple to reach over 100 pages. Skype versions of the Café have also existed, which has at times seemed to subtract from the discussion of the original threads, but the Café thread proper remains with a reputation of being more relaxed, controlled, and easy to follow conversation-wise nature, being considered much more refreshing and comfortable. | |||

=Choice Awards= | |||
Plans to revive the choice awards began as late as June 2025<ref>Private Staff Discussion thread on YellowTealPurple, paraphrase by {{mrdoognoog}}</ref>, and were eventually brought into fruition on 5 November 2025, alongside the similar [[Match of the Day]] program on November 2nd. The new Choice Awards were split into four categories, representing four corners of the site - art, music, video art, and of course, tennis.<ref>https://yellowtealpurple.net/forums/threads/forum-changelog.403/post-36506</ref> As of time of writing, nothing has been award for any of the four badges yet. | |||
