So to my surprise today /. can up and there was the meta-moderation link at the top of the page. I haven't seen it since the Post of Doom. Is there some sort of time limit on the rtbl or is CmdrTaco just several months behind reading his email?

Anyhow, I clicked on the link and it wasn't some sort of joyful experience. Meta-moderating is actually not very fun. Actual moderation is fun when it happens. Maybe I should go awhile without posting and see if I can moderate for real again.

Has anybody else out there that lost the ability to moderate gained it back recently?

Sunspire Studios has begun shipping commercial orders of the formerly beloved and now controversial game Tux Racer. I know because UPS sent me an order tracking number today. Misread it at first and thought, "But I didn't order a SunFire. Somebody at Sun is in BIG trouble." Anyhow dowloads of the new demo for Linux and Windows are here. This might be a good time to debate the ethics/merits of making your GPL'd game non-free for a while in order to sell it for $. You certainly won't be able to sell services for a GPL'd game.
