And now an important plea from ArchHallJr (the capper, not the actor). Apologies if you’ve already heard it, but Arch has made a great start of the CapperWiki, and now he needs somebody to step up and help keep it serving the community - Gerson

Folks,

By now most of you have noticed that I cannot give the wiki the time it deserves to be maintained, developed and otherwise. I am asking that someone within the capping community take over the responsibility of controlling and maintaining the wiki. It is possible that the job could be split into two parts. Firstly, the aforementioned controlling and maintaining the site. Second, someone who develops the site. However, it is possible the two jobs can go to the same person. I will continue to pay for the hosting and domain name. I have no problem with this as this community has given me so much over the years, it is the least I can do. But whomever takes over will have final say on decisions pertaining to all things wiki. Regardless of me paying the bills, I will not be a ’shadow’ owner, I am giving up complete control. I will stay on as a ‘consultant’ and help with any issues that may crop up as best I can. Gerson has also offered to help in a limited capacity as well. I would ask that whoever is interested have a decent tech background. You don’t need to be super sysadmin or an ubercoder, but more than a modicum of technical expertise is kind of required to do this and do it right. My guess is that there are several people within the group that fit this description. The question is do you want the responsibility? If you do, please be sure. In the words of the immortal Mayor Chapstick, no givesies-backsies! ;)

I apologize to you all for not giving the site the attention it needs but my life in the real world is not compatible with maintaining and/or developing the wiki at this time. Heck, it hasn’t been for some time. I think you all know that. It is my sincere hope that this decision will make the wiki a better place to visit and source of enjoyment for everyone.

If you are interested, contact me via this handy form and know that I will help with the transition and get you where you need to be to be the full on site admin for the wiki. You won’t be stepping into it alone. Thank you for your time

Round Robins… Remember those? Basically, it’s a collaborative story (of sorts) told through captions.

Well, we’ll be starting up again, with what for the sake of argument we’re going to call #18. It will start first thing Wednesday, February 28. If you’d like to join in the fun, there’s still plenty of time to sign up!

That’s right - less than a week until TV’ Frank Conniff and crew come back to town with a load of Z-grade cartoons and their demented live not-for-children kid’s show, Cartoon Dump. There’ll be some number of cappers greater than zero and less than 1,000 in the audience, contact me if you want to get in touch with them. Buy tickets here.

After going on and on about JoeCrow Day, here’s a little screengrab of his work on the new mst3k vol 10.2. The new segment, with Joel, Trace, and Frank returning to the roles that made them famous (and Frank taking on a new one), is only three and a half minutes, but along with Cinematic Titanic (and Rifftrax, if that’s the way you roll), makes for a great 20th anniversary present for msties.
