Honestly, I think that yes there have been times when they could have been a bit more communicative and yes it does seem that "nothing gets done" but do remember all the quiet stuff that happens, such as thread moving.
You also have to remember that no one has been banned over this so far as I've seen. Granted, it would have been really really stupid to start banning people who talk back and probably would have started a riot, but, I have known admins who would ban you simply because you dare talk back to them.
I'm not saying the admin are perfect but lets not forget that they do some stuff day to day and they have actually started to listen and respond, even if it did take a few twisted arms to get things kicked off.

I think the vb.org staff have had a bit of a beating from the members, and another from vb.com.
It's obviously been enough to kick them pretty hard in the pants as is evident by the fact we've heard more from them in the last week than for the whole of 2006.
Based on past performance, being wary is understandable, but I'd say give it a couple more weeks while they sort themselves out and get through all these replies, and then make a judgement.
