After a few unfortunate accidents in the past, no one get to play with the site code but Seibertron now, and HMW is very much ingrained within so a 'new' programmer is not going to happen. Go and write a new game, and if he likes it then you never know... but you'll never be allowed access to the other side, sorry.
It is true that innovation and imagination has led to same amazing times here though. The various althunts, bounty hunting, clan wars and the more recent Silent Night war of Christmas 2011-12 are all examples of the players pulling together and organising things for themselves. We didn't require programmers to help (although a particular board member was extremely helpful in scoring Silent Night).
Unfortunately, many of those who put in that work have moved on to newer things. If those here do ever decide to try it again, the staff will always be willing to help in any way we can, but it needs to be within the confines of the existing game mechanics, and - as Burn, Sustain and I can personally attest, it takes a lot of work.
