There’s a proverb in the German language, which could be roughly translated as ‘like the virgin got the baby’, which describes the process of getting something quite unexpectedly. And so we’re standing here, hosting the community forums that grew around the ‘Code of Honor’ as the former administrator couldn’t do it anymore.
