The open nomination period for the next Administrative Council is underway:

Nominate yourself or any other member for the AC at: https://www.neopoet.com/community/vote/nominate

Nominations are accepted until midnight, April 21st.

We expect the election will follow approximately two weeks after the close of the nomination period.

We've recently made a significant upgrade on our server - this affected functionality on Neopoet in the last 72 hours. This should now be resolved. Please let us know if there are any lingering issues.

Over the last week, we've implemented some new technologies (a technology called "redis" & a refinement of how we cache certain components of our site). This should improve performance by roughly 50%. Please let us know, however, if your experience is different, or if there are any issues.

Earlier this year, we had an open nomination period for a new AC. Unfortunately, the response was underwhelming - we only had 3 candidates for 3 positions. In the interest of having competitive elections, we are delaying the election until later this year.

If you are interested in running, please contact the Trustees.
