Staff does this for free, they don't get payed. They have to put up with constant *****ing and whining from players and they don't get anything in return for it.
I'm surprised there are people actually willing to staff.

RL always comes first. That's also why we normally don't have tournies at specific times during the week, you can never know for 100% you can host. Tiesto has hosted a lot of tournies at the same time until now. Last time he didn't feel very well and I'm sure he has his reasons this time too. Maybe someone in his family has a birthday party, maybe he got invited over to a friend's house for dinner. You think he will say "No thanks, I have to host a tourny on IN:X"?

These kinds of posts only push staff away even more. Ungrateful players that think staff should be online 24/7 and ***** and whine about just about everything is what makes staff quit.

Now if a staff member simply doesnt have the time for UO anymore, I will talk to that person and eventually put him/her off the staff list. But come on, he missed 2 tournies and you begin to whine.
Why don't you thank him everytime he hosts instead? That way he will feel appreciated and become even more motivated to host the next tourny. And this goes for all staff members, you should appreciate them more.

HELL yes.. thats right fuk off technique.. quit complaining!

( I didnt whine i never whine )
