Due to the fact that my personal life is really hitting me hard these days (you really don't wantneed to know), I've alerted
chris4short of the fact that I am stepping down as a maintainer, but of course, will always be here as a supportive member.
chris4short has agreed to take the reins, but I *know* her to be just as busy as I am if not more (well, definitely more) so I would feel infinitely better about this if someone volunteered to carry the weight with her.
For the moment, I'll remain a maintainer (and infinitely, if you let me) in case there is ever a time you need a back-up mod or if my life allows me to contribute in any way I can.
Until then, I'm debating whether or not to allow posting access for all members (regardless of whether or not they have requested writer's tags) so I can make it easier for Chris and any coming mod, but since this is no longer my responsibility, I'll let Chris decide.
Also, because of this, the challenges will be on a permanent hiatus until Chris can decide whether to re-open it again. A community like this is really not something you should run on your own, so please, if you'd like for this community to run as smoothly (or maybe even better) as it did before, feel free to volunteer and help her out!
