Well, I can't rightly recall when you left, but here's how things stand at 
the moment:

People have been exploiting society bugs for the past nweek or so, inspiring 
many a CFI and call for State of Emergency.  Luckily, Dave's interpertation 
stands until CFI'd otherwise, so we've been able to continue.  I've got a 
prop that I've sent to -discuss that I plan to actually make here real soon 
that should fix the problems with societies, as well as enhancing them a 
little and opening the door to lots of (easier, less buggy) enhancement in 
the future.

Also of not is that Glotmorf proposed a rule a short while back that allowed 
people to 'Mine' the grid, lowering its elevation and getting your 
resources, as well as allowing some other things like making the grid 
somewhat 3D somehow and allowing tunneling.  This rule passed, but was 
Deactivated (made moot and useless, but available for Reactivation) because 
of a bug: People could pay 70 BNS to destroy everything on one grid space, 
which resulted in The Grid ending up looking like a warzone.
Stocks have also been deactivated.

Another bug that was formed due to the Less Is More movement is that people 
are no longer limited to one vote, and you can't change votes.  It's the 
major reason for people currently calling for SOE.

A thought just came to mind: Dave, do you think it would be possible in the 
future to mark whether or not a prop passes in your database?  It would help 
people see what happened each nweek better.

still can't recall when Mach left.
