Going to address this real quick. Even if someone is running a challenge, they do have a life outside the forum. Some people have update schedules they abide by as well, and then others just update whenever they can. I know a lot of people are busy with school right now since the end is coming up for many people, so that also plays into this. Asking about updates is a bit rude though, so please refrain from it, and this goes for anybody.
If time goes on and clearly the owner of this challenge isn't signing on anymore, posting in here, or any of that, someone else is free to ask me for ownership of the challenge. But until then, please show the OP some respect by not asking about updates. Thanks for understanding!
