Important: Apologies for once again sending you over to PiercingMetal.com for the full scoop but that convention is covered over there exclusively and that is just how it goes according to our rule book. As you might expect already, the means to comment on this announcement have been disabled and are instead encouraged on the main article that you are led to.
