Figured I'd set the record straight here. I am the new admin of CC, it was not an april fools joke.
I first announced that my old project was hosted at CC many years ago on, you guessed it, april 1st. So, it just turned out that years later on the same date, I announced I was an admin.
As to why I didn't announce it before, I felt there was no need to, since I had nothing to announce.
About the possibility of a merger. That is all it is, a possibility. Right now we are mostly trying to set up better cooperation between our sites.
As for the changes I promised in my news post at CC, they have nothing to do with SEN, Mergers, or anything else IP or even my own staff know about. Nobody knows, its a surprise.
So don't worry, a merger is not imminent.
