It appears you searched in the wrong place.
At the bottom of the forum listing on the home page, you'll find a link titled "View Forum Leaders". That should answer your first question.
We don't really have a home base state since TFL is staffed by folks from many different states and many different walks of life. If you want to consider the location of the server as home base, well, it has moved around from state to state, and to be perfectly honest I don't know exactly where it is. And that doesn't matter since the folks that make up the membership and the staff are what counts.
Hope that helps to answer your questions.
