Submitting a form is exacty why you are being excluded. This is a list of left-leaning members that have put their President Forever profiles on the board , but not in this contest.

Anyway, looks like it will be opebo and WMS. I'll get this started as soon as I can.

[Josh/Devilman88]

YAY, do you think you will have some done tonight?
