We found a 10-year-old on the street and loaded him full of sugar. He's fed through a straw Otherwise, he surprizingly has a remarkable resemblance to Laura's dad, apparently!

When videos get submitted, they go to a waiting room that us council members can sign in to secretly We scan the videos that are in there for errors, then add them to the site if the're okay. This does two things: enters the video onto the main site with the "judging in progress" status, and it also creates a topic automatically in the Videos section. That is the LVI Bot's job.
Next from there, we vote on said video, and when it gets three "yes" or "no" votes, we mark it accordingly, with a Council Pick or not.
Hope that explains the process well

Say 'hi' to Max once in a while though. That's the kid's name. He's always watching you

I'd like to think I had some part in it What with my big pointy stick I like to poke E with.
But yeah, it was E's and his genious webmastery that got it done.

But the Max thing, that was all me
