the mods are gonna run the next loop... so this thread has been rendered pointless.
Just some clarification on the reason for this
On a basic level, Moderation input is required to run these threads. By being run at Moderator level this ensures that the person responsible for the thread is in a position to do all of the work required to keep things running smoothly. This will be consistent with the UK Loop.
Also, in the past Loops have been left incomplete - advance notice expressing the commitment needed will hopefully ensure this doesn't happen, and make possible new Loopers aware of what is required of them.
It is also hoped that a deadline will help establish a list of participants and start a new loop faster than waiting for a decent number of people to express an interest in an open thread.
Hopefully the time chosen for applications will suit applicants on both the East & West coast (and inbetween)
