It is summer again, does that mean it is about time for a new round of Field of 64 threads?

I've been waiting for a reason to work on the admin bit that runs it, improving it so it's easier to use.

Summer isn't really a good enough reason though

http://cellar.org/fieldof64/

Edit: further: "field of 64" describes a 64-team, single-elimination tournament structure. For an improved outcome, the teams are "seeded" into four sectors of 16 teams each; the idea is that the four teams thought to be the best do not play each other until the "final four", if they make it through the rounds.

For our purposes we have taken the "team" tournament idea and put other items into the tournament. The Fof64 page above shows the outcomes, and the threads where we voted on them.

It's pretty damn rare that I see a cookie I don't remember ever seeing before...

...I don't get it.

I mean, maybe I do--it's a little weird that they called something the 'Old News mode', but that's just kind of nonsensical to me rather than something damning--and I keep reading it again like it tells me to, looking for what I'm supposed to be seeing. I got nothin'.

I've been trying to log on since about 09.30 BST.
This is the first time I've got on.

I don't know if anyone else has had a problem?
