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 Café 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 Cafe Today==

The active staff as it stands today is made up of {{VidTens443}}, infinitysnapz, AngryLuigi23, and {{system128}}. 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 Café 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 Café 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 Café 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 interface 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 Café 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.
