Because that announcement/news item is five years or older (probably older). We've made so many changes since then.Nya-chan Production wrote: "Calling All ProgrammersIf you are a web programmer and would like to help out with some site sections, join the programmer's usergroup.

Too bad there's no such usergroup :<
I think there should either be a new announcement or some new forum thread.
Even if the usergroup existed, not many people see that news item since it's been there for so long. I mean, I gloss over it all the time.
Plus, I would assume that because the date of it is posted (or it was the last time I paid attention) that programmers would think that the item didn't apply anymore.
I'm not really interested in being a coder - I can't code worth a damn. I just know simple html and css - but it would be nice if something a little more new and 'official' were posted for coders and programmers. For the greater benefit, and wider exposure.
