WOW, you heard!!!
That's so awesome to see how word spreads around the community like that! ^__^
but yes, the rumors are very much true. The thread is about to reopen. And with this re-opening will come many new things. The front page will feature many new things, as well as much better organixation, and better look. Not only that, the thread will have much stricter rules, because I will not allow users to spam the thread again, and let another incedent like this happen.
But yes, be erady, because there is much...so much to show, and reveal.
