As I am nowadays both an admin and leader of the History forum, I unfortunately no longer have the opportunity to pay enough attention to the HPG to be 'group leader' -- in terms of validating members, promoting discussion etc. Due to this I have transfered the group to another of it's founders, NoXion. I hope everyone is fine with this decision -- if not, just say so and we may have a vote or whatever. Personally I'm convinced NoX will do a fine job, and I think he really deserves the position. He was the first HPGr here on RevLeft, long before HPG existed.
All hail NoXion, our new Glorious Leader, May He Live For A Thousand Years.
And my first act as Leader of the Human Progress Group is to declare martial law- er, I mean, how do I validate requests to join? I've got one already.
I've incorporated the Human Progress Group self-introduction into the top of the page, as it looked rather bare, and it should be easily visible to everyone.
