Alright, so as everyone has probably noticed, there was no Hack of the Month competition for June. Here's why:
1. Simply could not get around to it, as both colcolstyles and I were run off our feet with RL for the month.
2. There is somewhat of an issue with it anyways;
Quite frankly, if we keep going with Hack of the Month the way it is, we'll run out of hacks to include each month. As it stands, pretty much every hack in the Hacks Showcase has won something, be it HotM or HotY. And in Progressing hacks, it's becoming increasingly difficult to pick three hacks that will actually provide competition to one another- ie, one of them might be clearly better than the other two, and so on.
So this thread is here to explain that, if anybody was wondering why there was no HotM for June.
However, it is also here to serve as a suggestions thread. Yesterday, colcolstyles and I decided to ask for your input. Anyone who's listened to the ROM Hacking Podcast may have heard Manipulation's or DrFuji's suggestions- such as having the moderators select one hack and sticky it for a month (so getting rid of the voting element, obviously), or having the current HotM format stay the same, only every two months. Those are just possibilities- post your suggestions here!
(But please, if you do post a suggestion, try to think logically about it, weigh up the pros and cons, etc :P)
