It is also regarded that YouChew moderator/administrator Emperor Ing was always considered by the original staff as an "unofficial fuck"; while never actually being on the staff itself due to him already being instated with moderator and later administrator powers, Ing was close to the early staff members and had very in-depth involvement with the staff's activities in the early years to the point where he was considered just as essential. It is because of this that he is recognized as having served the staff in the past by having obtained an official service medal on the YouChew forums and also has a round made in a special multi-way match reserved exclusively for staff members only.

The staff has since undergone many changes in its lineup of members, beginning as soon as 5 days later when NS2 would be promoted by majority vote of YouChew staff to a moderator position. GameBop would become the next addition to the Staff on June 23, 2008 upon request for the purpose of managing the 2nd Tennis Chain and being able to edit the original post created by ShadowWario/FancySanta. During this era, the "Collaborations" subforum of YouChew would be created for the first time, and would be added to tennis staff jurisdiction. Moogle would join next on November 18, 2008, around the same time that Nuthead would be removed from the staff and banned from the forums. {{MycroProcessor}} would join by popular demand on February 27, 2009, essentially acting as the fill-in for Nuthead, and would become the longest serving member of the staff with 10 years and 7 months in the position. TheHappyFungus would become a moderator on March 1, 2009, though would revert her name back to tennis staff colors briefly during the [[Tennis Season]]. DaftPunkYoshi would also be added to the Staff on June 25th, 2009, later becoming a moderator of the forum in order to bridge a social divide between the Tennis Staff and Moderators on August 18, 2011. {{NS2}} would resign and return to being a moderator in April and October 2009 respectively, before resigning permanently on August 6th, 2010 to return to being a full time Cafe Staff member, although activity wise would be very sparse. TheHappyFungus would retire from her moderator position on the same day, and mysteriously vanish from the internet entirely.

==Third Generation(2010-2014)==

~~With~~ most of the ~~other~~ members of the tennis staff ~~becoming inactive~~, and ChrisGendo effectively managing the tennis section entirely on her own up to this point, AshcrementVII and {{trepmaws}} became the newest staff additions on January 22, 2012. Crash2991 retired from the staff somewhere between the spring and summer, followed closely by strong414bad. Subsequent to this period, ChrisGendo would ~~publically~~ announce her retirement from staff and forum on August 22, 2012, and was soon followed by the simultaneous retirements of Moogle and NS2 on September 21, 2012. AshcrementVII retired from the staff after an almost 2-year period on January 1, 2014, and {{CorruptionSound}} was chosen as his effective replacement on January 10. With YouChew's collab subforum having fallen woefully behind upkeep in this period, {{theFXexpert}} was newly recruited on June 13, 2014 with almost the express purpose of helping out in this section.

Members: MrDrunkenFox, {{ChrisGendo}}, {{TheChutley}}, AshcrementVII, {{trepmaws}}

Every branch of the community on the YouChew forums soon underwent a major change when, soon after the return of NS2 to the staff and the permanent departure of theHappyFungus, RabbitSnore and TINS retired from their admin and forum leader positions on August 14, 2010. RabbitSnore would then move to the Tennis Staff, as it was a staff that he helped create, with the promise of maintaining activity in that section. However this would never come to pass, and Rabbit's position on the staff marked the effective end of the era of him as an active community member. Some days in advance, RAKninja would publicly announce his retirement from the staff and forum on August 4th, 2010, the same day that MrDrunkenFox would step down from his long-time moderator position and upon personal request be added to the Cafe Staff, following in the footsteps of RabbitSnore. ChrisGendo and {{TheChutley}} would be jointly added to the staff on December 7, 2010, and from this point onward ChrisGendo would effectively take up RAKninja's de-facto leadership role as part of this newly created third generation of staff members, becoming its most active and vocal member for a period of about 2 years.

The following year marked the only period in which members from all generations of staff up to this point were present within the tennis community, whether active or otherwise. With only select older members contributing in terms of actual staff work, and ChrisGendo effectively managing the tennis section and sanctioning its community entirely on her own up to this point, AshcrementVII and {{trepmaws}} became the newest staff additions on January 22, 2012. Crash2991 retired from the staff somewhere between the spring and summer, followed closely by strong414bad. Subsequent to this period, ChrisGendo would publicly announce her retirement from staff and forum on August 22, 2012, and was soon followed by the simultaneous retirements of Moogle and NS2 on September 21, 2012.
