Can the staff please put their dummies back in? If you must get all emotional, which quite frankly is not necessary at all, then at least channel that into helping Artashes rather than... whatever it is that has happened with this thread (I can't call it a discussion).

P.S. I'd report the crap but, really, don't want my post-count to be so artificially inflated!

Artashes, do you have plans of the big picture that you might like to share with the community? We keep getting glimpses here and there (like, wanting a designer who doesn't specialise in vB; your previous "future of TF" style threads). Are you spending as much time and effort searching for programmers, or the plethora of other jobs that will need to be done? From an outsider's perspective it looks like might be looking to the heavens (in the sense of a narrow, high gaze) rather than taking a more pragmatic approach to revamping this place. But I guess this thread isn't the place for that discussion (reminder: it's about searching for designers, or whether to wait for that brightly shining star).
