The Community Relations Team
This month, AnaNaszynska took over the Architecture Photography gallery from FritsPlays, next to her Chat & Forum duties. No new faces - we did say goodbye to LabyrinthCreations and kuschelirmel whose term ended, and kinipelahh and ChewedKandi who stepped down due to time constraints. They were awesome team members and mentors and we're sad to see them go
