What is going on?

Dear Willy, what is The Chocolate Factory forum for?

IS IT SPAM? no, that is not made of chocolate.

It's really just so there's a landing page that looks intriguing enough to not abandon the site if you were supposed to find it. But I have been keeping the actual content we post in the less-easily-crawled-and-data-mined section of the factory.

Henceforth, the Chocolate Factory will be for anything you guys would like to make public for the unwashed masses to peruse, with all the usual caveats about not posting the bad things you already know not to post otherwise I'll have to moderate it and I don't want to moderate. And if we need more boards in this public section, let me know, I'm happy to grow it. In my vision, I saw this public board along with the announcements one to be very sparse, with all the exciting content hidden away inside the chocolate factory, as it were, away from public view unless they happen upon a Golden Ticket.
