The infamous Charles Capps is being prosecuted for charges relating to the changing of Flare. The specific charges have not been announced as of yet. Flare is a popular web site that SciFi fans post at and is located at flare.solareclipse.net. It would seem that Mr.Capps allegedly changed the format of Flare without announcements or input from the members. The local law enforcement was contacted when rioters formed a protest outside of Mr.Capps home. After a short investigation, Mr.Capps was placed under arrest. He was later released on bond and is awaiting trial. Mr. Capps claims to be innocent and plans to enter a plea of 'not guilty'. He declined to comment further. Pre-Trial selections will begin today and should wrap up by Friday.
Okay, now that the announcement has been made, we are taking volunteers. We need a prosecuting attorney, a defense attorney, and jury members. I'm the judge.

Siegfried: I should be the grand interrogator since I created the interrogation of Charles Capps. And the Interrogator should also be the Executor.
Either that or I'd like to be the Prosecutor. More legal mumbo jumbo as to Warrants, Miranda Decisions, Motions, evidence suppressions, etc......

I would like to say -- simply for the benefit of Charles -- that I have no knowledge of this, and I am not a member. Spare me in the "banning" fest sure to come.
On the other hand, at least Charles didn't initiate one of those stupid warning/bannings thingies. Those are just ridiculous.

As for changes here, well, I seem to remember CC saying he was working on an upgrade, in some thread or another. Can't say I'm fond of all the white, but I can get used to it, over all, it looks pretty good.
Mr Chris: You haven't been with us long enough to know that this is nothing new. The forums have evolved from a WWW board (before I came here) to the earliest vversion of ubb(when I showed up) to verious servers, and color schemes (including an all red format) up to and including this latest version.
The one thing you can count on with CC is change.

Your Honour, in the interests of Justice, this trial must go ahead. The people have a right to ascertain the truth in this matter. Mind you, this was not the act of an administrator looking to rebuild the forums, but the act of a depraved madman attempting to violate the sacred bond and trust established between him and members of this community.
We will present evidence and call witnesses that will support the charges of a widespread conspiracy to mislead the Forum public, a fraud of massive proportions that it could not be ignored. We will present evidence that the defended knew about, planned, and ultimately carried his dastardly scheme to the horror of the unsuspecting forumites. In the end, it should be clear that such charges should not be treated with kidgloves, rather the defendant and perpetrator should be punished as harshly as possible.
Your honour, our duty and your duty is clear in this case. We must see this through to the end.
4 hours of straight Law and Order will do that to ya!!! :-D

Are you actually going to charge him with anything? As much fun as this is *cough*, I, er, don't have an end to this sentence.
-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

We have just drafted a motion to amend the following charges against Charles Capps. They include
- Fraud in the first degree. - Grand Larceny in the first degree. - Conspiracy to commit fraud in the first degree.
Our detectives are continuing the investigation, and we have been informed that there may be other charges that will be amended to the indictment.
BTW, don't I get an assistant? It's getting lonely in here.... :-P

*Before I go on, I will point out that I am having fun with a lot of BS and pure fiction. I don't know case law, and People vs. Cormen is entirely a figment of my imagination, but I'm just faking stuff so just to jest at all this*
Your Honour, the people make a motion to revoke bail of the defendant. The forumites believe that the defendant poses a severe threat and a flight risk. Measures must be taken so that the probability of this is reduced. I cite case law People vs. Cormen, "the defendant may be held without bail if the people prove that there is sufficient grounds that the defendant is a significant threat to their community".
We therefore request that Charles Capps be remanded to the Custody of the Jurisdiction of Jubilee McGann.
