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. The following day, a major staff change occurred on YouChew in which the Janitors(moderators assigned to very specific sections, at the time it was strictly the "Poop Talk" section) and Tennis Café Staff were merged into one, thus creating the Café Staff. This change gained the staff equal control over the entire "YouTube Poop" section of the forums(Poop Talk, Media Library, Collaborations, and Poop Tennis), and by complete anomaly would transition then-current Janitor Stuart K. Reilly over to the Café Staff, although he would only maintain this position for 2 months and contribute very little. He would however later on develop a significant acquaintance with the staff and tennis regulars, even going as far as to finally produce a series of episodes of his signature "YouTube Poop News" series covering many aspects of YTP tennis in early 2015. On May 19, 2015, MrDrunkenFox left the Tennis Staff and rejoined as a Moderator after a hiatus of 5 years, the longest gap of time in-between service of any moderator so far. On May 31, 2016, {{TheChutley}} announced her retirement from the staff and was replaced by Metroid998 on June 8. Due to being short-handed by theFXexpert's sudden long absence during this time, LaVieCestLol was also added to the staff on the same day. On April 7, 2018, {{Trepmaws}} would step down from his position and was replaced by Biodegradable on the same day. | 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.

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. 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. However, {{TheChutley}} would return to tennis staff for the third time on October 18, which would technically be the first time since {{NS2}} that a former tennis staff would make a second return. {{system128}} transitioned from the tennis staff to YellowTealPurple's creative staff on February 16, 2026, the same day that {{mrdoognoog}} made a long awaited return to the tennis staff as well. | 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.

The Poop Tennis Café as it stands today now exists on [[YellowTealPurple|{{YellowTealPurple}}]], referred to as the Video Tennis Cafe. 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 Poop Tennis Café as it stands today now exists on [[YellowTealPurple|{{YellowTealPurple}}]], referred to as the Video Tennis Cafe.
