[02:53:51] <Bytram> Thursday is a holiday in the USA (Thanksgiving Day). Though we are an international site, the majority of the community (and editorial staff) are from the states. We *could* try to maintain normal story spacing, but that would likely place an undue load on the non-USA staff. So, I suggest we move to weekend story spacing so the editors can have a chance to celebrate with their families.
