Opening Statement

by Super Mario Bros. (talk) and Gabumon (talk)

Welcome to May 2015! I would like to welcome Paper Yoshi (talk) back into the fold, as he has decided to return as the Mario Calendar writer. Be sure to check out his section featured in this issue, as well as Palkia47's !

The only thing I have to address for this issue is our Feedback Survey, which can be filled out here. Firstly, we have designed this survey to be much shorter than our previous ones; whereas the older surveys have featured about 20 questions, we now only ask 7 questions. Rather than burden our participants with an overbearing form, we feel that this streamlined questionnaire will be much quicker to fill out and will produce more focused results.

Secondly, one of the most important questions contained in this month's survey is how we will continue to number our issues from the Special Issue onward. Currently, The 'Shroom uses Roman numerals to designate each issue, but the staff is considering switching to Arabic numerals. For example, rather than labeling the June edition Issue C, we would title it Issue 100. Simply put, the Roman numeral system makes issues complicated to refer to and the problem will only get worse with time. Switching to Arabic numerals can make identifying editions of the paper much easier. Imagine how we would have to deal with the eventual Issue CCCLXXXVIII... It is much easier just to call it Issue 388! Now that we have made our case, we want to leave it to the readers to decide what to do.

So please be sure to fill out the Feedback Survey, and to check the Closing Statement for news regarding next month.
