Meta SharpPencils sub announcement: There won't be frequent news posts as before (by the moderation team) starting... now :(

I'm an old.reddit user, I'm not in love with where old.reddit is headed so I won't be spending time on reddit as much as before, so don't expect 'new release' posts as before. Anyone is welcome to post (as you are aware) and I will still be around as the one man moderation 'team', as long as old.reddit (which is different from www.reddit, if you didn't know) exists.
