==Second Generation(2008-2010) and Third Generation(2012-2014)==

The Fucks have 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 administration to a Moderator of the site. Gamebop would become the next addition to the Staff in July 2008 originally for the purpose of managing the 2nd Tennis Chain and being able to edit the original post created by ShadowWario/FancySanta, yet continued to retain the position until the forum closed, after a record 10 years and 2 months. Moogle would join next on November 18, 2008, around the same time that Nuthead would be revoked from the staff and banned from the forums. MycroProcessor would join by popular demand on February 27th, 2009, essentially acting as the fill-in for Nuthead, and TheHappyFungus would become a mod around this same time. 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 Moderation Staff in August 2011. NS2 would resign and return to being a moderator in April and October 2009 respectively, before resigning permenantly on August 6th, 2010 to return to being a full time Cafe Staff member, although activity wise would be very sparse. RAKninja would publically announce his retirement from the staff and forum on August 4th, 2010, the same day that MrDrunkenFox, then a long time moderator of the forums, would step down and upon personal request be added to the Cafe Staff. Chrisgendo and TheChutley would be jointly added to the staff in December 2010, and AshcrementVII and trepmaws would follow in January 2012 in order to assist Chrisgendo, who up to that point was essentially managing much of the tennis section on her own, during a period where much of the other members on staff had become inactive. Following this period, long time staff members Moogle, NS2, Crash2991 and strong414bad would all quietly retire their staff titles following Chrisgendo's public retirement announcement from staff and forum in September 2012. CorruptionSound would be added to fill the void left by Ashcrement's retirement on January 10th, 2014, with ~~theFXexpert~~ later added on June 13th mainly to help the staff with the collab section.

==Fourth Generation(2014-2018)==

The proceeding day, a major staff change occurred on Youchew in which the Janitors(moderators assigned to very specific sections, in Youchew's case the "Poop Talk" section) and Tennis ~~Cafe~~ Staff were merged into one, thus creating the ~~Cafe~~ Staff, which gained equal control over the entire Youtube Poop section of the forums, a change which by complete anomaly would transition then current Janitor Stuart K. Reilly over to the ~~Cafe~~ Staff, although he would only maintain this position for 2 months and contribute very little. He would however later on develop a signifigant reacquaintance with the staff and tennis regulars, even going as far as to finally produce a series of Youtube Poop News episodes covering many aspects of YTP tennis in early 2015. In May 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 31st, 2016 TheChutley announced his retirement from the staff and was later replaced by Metroid998. Due to being short-handed by theFXexpert's long ~~absense~~ during this time, LaVie CestLol was also added to the staff. On April 7th, 2018, Trepmaws would step down from his position and was replaced by Biodegradable.

==Fifth Generation(2019-present)==

With the Youchew forums about to close and the community set to split in two in August 2018, MycroProcessor, CorruptionSound, Biodegradable, Metroid998 and theFXexpert all agreed to migrate over to the more Youtube Poop-focused YTPMania forums, opened and run by Smonge, in order to build a new home for the Tennis Section. Gamebop opted not to immediately retain their staff position, effectively stepping down for an indeterminate time with the closing of the forum on September 29th. The rest of the staff at the time also eventually quietly retired after a slow, inactive first year on YTPMania, at a time when many of the new generation coming into the tennis section were very curious about when the next tournament would happen. Eventually, mrdoognoog and VidTens443, two members who were around for the twilight years in tennis on Youchew, together with newer member Nubman41 and YTPMania admin Morshe started the first tournament on the new forum themselves, the Tennis League V, and managed to persuade dew to come out of retirement to participate and extend a guiding hand across the new generation of tennisers. With much of the old staff inactive, mrdoognoog, VidTens443 and dew all became promoted to the new wave of ~~Cafe~~ Staff on YTPMania on Oct 6 and Oct 22, 2019 respectively. The Youchew forums returned in a new iteration in 2020, and the staff migrated back to its old home, with Metroid998, VidTens443 and mrdoognoog as the active staff members and dew as one of the two admins and leaders of the new site, but still acting as a fuck within the tennis section as well, much in the same way as RabbitSnore and Ing previously. Zekii was knighted as the newest member of the staff on April 6, 2020. The new Youchew forums however did not last, suffering a managerial crisis that ultimately led to its shutting down in the middle of April 2020, moving everyone back to YTPMania except for dew, who was banned from the site for about a year, ultimately ending her tenure as an active staff member. Nubman41 and system128 were promoted to tennis staff on Febaruary 3, 2022, while mrdoognoog retired from active staff on October 1st of that year. infinitysnapz was promoted to staff on August 20, 2023, followed by AngryLuigi23 on July 5, 2024 following the departure of both Zekii and Nubman41.

The active staff as it stands today is made up of VidTens443, infinitysnapz, AngryLuigi23, and ~~system28~~. On the Youchew archive, RabbitSnore remains displayed as a staff member in order to recognize the staff's roots of creation and his contributions to the tennis section overall during his active period on the forum.

The Poop Tennis ~~Cafe~~ as it stands today now exists on YTPMania, and, while still retaining some activity, reaches no where close to where the Tennis Cafes of old used to reach. The ~~Cafe~~ thread had 4 original iterations on the Youchew Forums: the first opening on January 28, 2008 and being locked on March 31, 2008 after 104 pages, the second opening on April 2, 2008 and closing on January 8, 2010 after 883 pages, the third opening on January 8, 2010 and closing on October 11, 2012 after 842 pages(with about 4 months of posts in early 2011 lost as a result of Youchew's infamous "Oz incident"), and the fourth and final iteration opening on October 13, 2012 and lasting until the closure of the ~~Youchew~~ Forums on September 29, 2018 after 488 pages. RabbitSnore upon briefly returning to the Youchew forums in January 2013 expressed his complete disbelief that the then current version of the thread continued to persist. The ~~Cafe~~ Thread that currently exists on YTPMania was first opened on August 21, 2018, and has currently seen 1977 posts (there are no pages in this version due to the unusual ~~inferface~~ of the YTPMania forums). Skype and Discord versions of the Cafe have existed, which has at times seemed to subtract from the discussion of the original threads, but the ~~Cafe~~ thread proper remains with a reputation of being more relaxed, controlled, and easy to follow conversation-wise nature, being considered much more refreshing and comfortable. In the present day, much of the tennis community activity is now had over on the discord The Tennis Isles, which has in some cases kind of become a forum for tennis in its own right.
