Mod's Post

Tue, 13 Dec 2005 16:54:34 GMT

I guess you guys are wondering why it took me so long to post the voting for the actual challenge - well, this might answer it. I am stressed. Not only a little bit stressed, studies PLUS my social life PLUS my online life are a little bit too much to handle. I don't even have that much time left for my own journal - not to speak of any challenges or moderating one. So I am very sorry to announce that I'll have to quit the job. I sucked in any case so a new Mod could only do the community good.

Anyone who wants moderate the community might answer to this post - otherwhise the current challenge would be the last, I am sorry.
