About this website
This website was created using WordPress, an open source Content Management System platform created and maintained by thousands of volunteers world-wide.
We have used the following themes and plugins: {list of themes and plugins will be put here when the site is finalized, changes too much otherwise}

Most of the written content available on this site has been created by CSFFA volunteers. There have been far too many people doing content updates over the years, it is not possible to thank you all individually, but we recognize how much work has been put into the site from its early beginnings and we are grateful to everyone who has contributed.
The current loyal web minion would like to give special thanks to all previous loyal web minions for CSFFA and the Aurora Awards. Without their hard work (and in some cases, emergency assistance long after they no longer hold the position), the website in its current iteration could not possibly exist and web-based voting for the Aurora Awards would not be functional. Everything you see has either been built from, or created to mimic, the coding, documentation & site architecture of other CSFFA webmasters.

Because this website is a living document modified by multiple humans, there will be errors. We try hard to catch them all, but there will always be something we’ve missed. If you see problems with the website, please let us know so we can fix them.
In particular, we’ve taken care to ensure the theme, code, and site design is responsive and accessible. If you or anyone you know has any accessibility issues with the website, we are especially keen on finding and fixing them to ensure everyone can participate.
