So, I am disappointed that CR never got the full treatment, but I am content that it is now in the hands of the best people for the site.

Yeah. So much Rd code was posted on CR that they created a tag for our lovely little mess. =)

Man... After reading this all... The story of CR really is an underdog story. I love it. In that theme, I'll have to return and tell a story about a lonely reviewer and his favorite tag.

Indeed. I think the part that Mat's is skipping is how he almost singlehandedly was the site cheerleader, motivator, and community hub for that period.

It's only been a fortnight but I already feel like a part of this community, I feel proud of it, I feel protective. And I've learnt far more here in 2 weeks than a whole year of google and textbooks and abusing VBA :)

CR spawned an open source project that is responsible (at least in part) for me getting that new job.

@MetaLibrarian yup. Mark the date, folks: 6-8 weeks after our election, the need for a 5th moderator was indeed assessed as promised 6-8 weeks earlier. And so begins a new era.

Attention programmers: you are supposed to tell the duck your problems. Do not rub the rubber duck. It is not a lamp; there is no genie.

Mark the date folks, the date that a Code Review project got its own tag on StackOverflow. Congratulations @RubberDuck @Mat'sMug!

So, anyway. There's not much to tell about the VBA tag. Lots of great CRitters have passed through. Ptwales, BlackHawk, vba4all, freeman, enderland...

Yes. My first question here was a VBA class too long to actually post.

But there wasn't really anyone around to review his work. Oh, sure, he got reviews, but often, he resorted to doing it himself.

Q: Election epilogue: one slight moddification

It's been a while since your first election ended. Your new mods have had some time to settle in, think about how they work together, and figure out the overall state of the Code Review stack. After all that, they decided that, as awesome as they are, they would be more comfortable with another t...
