Why didn't black cut at C5?

The new OGS looks pretty nice, and presumably all the players from OGS have been migrated over so it should be pretty full...but when I click 'Browse open Challenges' I see somewhere between zero and two games. I've tried several times over the past few days.

Is the server pretty empty, or am I ...

Another documentary on a nerdy topic was recently released: It is called I Dream of Wires and is about modular synthesizers.

They released a 'Hardcore Edition' for the real fans, 4 hours long, purchased through Kickstarter I believe. Then they released a tighter cut for the more general viewer ...

I'm not sure I remember any of the joseki in it, but its explanations of why certain moves are good or bad in certain situations was really eye opening, and improved my play a ...
