Hey Everyone, apologize about this taking longer then usual. I've never setup COTM, but I'm gonna give it my best shot. I think it'd only be fair to run COTM voting until Sunday, February 5th. Thus, the same amount of time is equated. February COTM will open as normal on February 1st.


Good Luck everyone!
