Finding out that someone *ahemDAZahem* transmuted my iced tea into iced coffee turned me to the dark side.

Friends,
This is probably long overdue, but we have realized an important fact about the Roleplay Advocates. As the Database of Ships has taken off, and as the Chronicle has grown, the duties of the RPA have expanded into two very different job roles. We have decided that the time has come for us to split these into two separate entities, each with their own members: The Roleplay Advocates to foster writing on the site, and the Databank Operators (DO) to manage the chronicle and the database.
We will allow players to join both these groups if they commit to being active participants in both, however, this provides the option for members of the community to be involved in only one area, without also being expected to fill the other role. We hope that this will increase interest among the community in joining one of the groups, and also allow those who are really passionate about a particular area to specialize in that area.
If you would like to join one or both of these groups, please comment below with your choice (RPA, DO, or both). Even if you are a current RPA, you will need to re-apply, so that we know which of the two teams (or both) you wish to join. Some slight preference will be given to current or former RPAs, but we also encourage anyone in the community with an interest to volunteer.
We will also be appointing a Whill Liaison to work directly with each group.
We hope that the RPA, the Databank, and the community will benefit from this change.
This thread will remain open for any questions, and for applications to the two new guidance groups.
Thank you,
The Council of the Whills

Some of these are basically confirmed, others are rumored, some are just ideas...

Friends, In reviewing the site rules, the Whills determined that we should provide additional guidance on the use of the most extreme force powers in Open RP. As a result, the Rules & Regulations on Science, Technology, and the Force have been updated to add the following. This rule was drawn heavily from the work and reasoning of the old Players' Guild Council guidelines from JvS 1.5. As always, these rules due not apply in a closed scenario where all participants have agreed to different rules. If you have any questions, this thread is open for comments. Thank you. The Council of the Whills

I finally had time to dig deeper on this, and I know what's wrong. Unfortunately, it looks like a lot of work to fix it.
The good news is all the data is still there, we're just having trouble displaying it properly.

1. We've never done a faction HQ (or any space station) at the planetary board level, to my knowledge, so no. I guess that would be your key reason for treating this as a planetary request... Hmm.
2. That makes perfect sense. I've actually always thought the new player hub belongs on Coruscant, but I see the value in using a JvS-unique location.
3. Right, if it's supposed to be very open/public, not just a crime lair, that makes more sense.

Let me start by saying I really like the idea. JvS needs something like this.
That said, some of my initial questions are as follows (none of these are intended as an approval or a rejection):
1. This could be easily achieved through the faction headquarters process. A faction need not necessarily be an IC group. It can also be an OOC writing group. You'd just need two other players to sign on in support. The standard for a faction headquarters is lower than for a planet, and we have created space stations in the past as faction HQs. This would also give you the added bonus of being able to create new threads when you need them.
2. Do you envision this as being a potential starting destination for new players? If so, you may want to consider whether a well-known canon station would be better suited for this, due to its universal recognition. Then again, we could spin this as something uniquely JvS, and if it's not canon, it's less likely to attract someone who just "has" to rule it...
3. How is this different from existing but rarely-used locations, e.g. The Smugglers' Run?
