Anyone remember the big Graphics Section Incident at PSP-Hacks a few years ago?  The incident, in which the mods DELETED the entire graphics section (which turned out to be a sick april fool's joke by some of the mods...), caused a number of talented graphics people to search for a new home.

Well, I was one of those who left hacks after that incident, and Zinga was kind enough to offer us shelter here.  I then took it upon myself to take the ideas I had offered to the idiots (Chode Messiah, in particular) at hacks and put them to use here.  Thus, I asked Zinga if I could start a SOTW here, and the rest is history :D
