* WhyFandomCantHaveNiceThings: Once the staff started looking for a new editor in 2014, the members were abuzz with speculation, and would occasionally update on how the search was going, keeping the excitement level high.

When it came time to hire someone for [=GBEast=], they were much more quiet about it, essentially saying that everyone will know when they've hired someone. Thankfully, bringing on Austin was received more warmly.
