loafeI'm curious if the halt of articles is due to a lack of writers, a lack of leadership, or both
A mixture. The writing (and production) side of tftv was left in a weird state where the people leading those teams moved on, and ultimately no one stepped up to fill those roles. Eventually individual contributors lost interest, and when the team is left with 2/3 active writers for the entire website across all regions, it doesn't exactly motivate you.
We made efforts multiple times to pick up new writers, nothing really ever came of it. From memory I think 3/4 people joined as junior writers to help the EU side of things a couple years back. After pings/reminders across multiple seasons that there was work to be done, I believe 2 articles were written.
If there's no new blood, expect very little news content for the future. Like JMax said, we're happy to bring new people onboard and help them with the work; if you're interested you can reach out to either of us through the tftv discord.
