Welcome, despoa! Thanks for all your hard work already, encoding runs and filling in Game/ROM info to help the site. I'm sure you'll do even greater things in your new position!

Writing here cause I don't know where should I post it: The Wiki: Helping should include somewhere above the tabs the latest Call for Staff and Contributors! thread or wiki page or intention to permanently show it even after new news comes up.

TheCoreyBurton resigned from his publishing duties due to lack of activity and to focus more on real life. You're one of my heros, I thank you for your crazy contribution and wish you the best future!

Warning: When making decisions, I try to collect as much data as possible before actually deciding. I try to abstract away and see the principles behind real world events and people's opinions. I try to generalize them and turn into something clear and reusable. I hate depending on unpredictable and having to make lottery guesses. Any problem can be solved by systems thinking and acting.

Because of personal circumstances limiting my time and ability to contribute to the site, I am stepping down from Admin Assistant and all other senior roles and responsibilities. (I will keep moderator status). It's been fun contributing as site staff for more than 10 years (and senior staff for 8 years), but I currently can't commit enough time to keep up with everything, so I think it's best if I made sure I would not be holding anything up. My current senior responsibilities (Discord, awards, etc.) will be divided among other senior staff. Big shoutouts to the current site administration and site staff, who are doing a wonderful job pushing the site forward. It's been a great pleasure to work with everyone :)

http://www.youtube.com/Noxxa <dwangoAC> This is a TAS (...). Not suitable for all audiences. May cause undesirable side-effects. May contain emulator abuse. Emulator may be abusive. This product contains glitches known to the state of California to cause egg defects. <Masterjun> I'm just a guy arranging bits in a sequence which could potentially amuse other people looking at these bits <adelikat> In Oregon Trail, I sacrificed my own family to save time. In Star trek, I killed helpless comrades in escape pods to save time. Here, I kill my allies to save time. I think I need help.

I've got good news and bad news. The bad news is that we just lost 5 of our Reviewers. The good news... is that they became Judges!!! Please welcome DrD2k9, nymx, ikuyo, ViGadeomes, and Darkman425 to the team!
