History
  • 2015: The Hoosier North Athletic Conference (HNAC) was formed by schools from the Northern State Conference (Culver, Knox, LaVille, and Triton), Midwest Conference (Caston, Pioneer, West Central, and Winamac), and then independent North Judson-San Pierre. The HNAC was formed in an effort to shorten travel distances and increase competition among member schools. The exodus of the 4 Northern State Conference teams caused that conference to fold, and forced other teams from Bremen, Jimtown, John Glenn, and New Prairie to join the Northern Indiana Conference.
  • 2017: The West Central school board approved a measure to leave the Hoosier North Athletic Conference and re-join the Midwest conference, a move that, in accordance with HNAC bylaws, will be completed by the end of the 2018-19 school year[2].

gollark: There's still one pesky unpatched sandbox exploit.
gollark: PotatOS is designed to make it as hard as possible to meddle much in the internals if you're a user.
gollark: PotatOS uses the Polychoron process manager I made, but it's not hooked into multishell or anything.
gollark: `window` has very useful capabilities, but barely exposes any.
gollark: `multishell` manages its coroutines internally, and you can't really touch them in a useful way.
