1. I dunno, Yams made an announcement and then BoB made an announcement about the same thing. CK++ would be more my alley, but hey, whatever language floats you boat.
2. The staff just felt a bit undermanned and decided to promote a few people, and after a lot of deliberation (like...more pages than I can count on my fingers, at LEAST) we three were picked. That'll probably be it for a while, unless someone steps down or something.

That's it. Now a question for YOU.
Why am I posting in this thread instead of doing my Civics homework? The answer, and more...later.
