Don't know where that 9th is from? I posted my email around 11 am on
Tusday October 10th, so +2 weeks is Tuesday October 24th, but I thought
it would close at midnight, so on the 25th :)

My bad there, sorry, I counted two weeks from when someone told me to
put the date on the wiki (which I forgot to do).

Ah yeah didn't thought of that, but I'm in NZ, so the dates I
talked about were UTC+13.

Agreed.
