Yeah, the group effort people put in on the forums for Genetech was/is great, it's just that whole unfair factor for anyone that isn't online. We're trying to think of ways to avoid that :)
Also in the case of Eddie Bell, the artist that does Eddie Bell has been working on other projects. It's great when we can fit in a SBQ line to fit the theme (such as during Delphi month, we had the sand/water Professor New lines), but sometimes it's just not possible to get it done in time. :)
