I know the hobby is in danger.... but, then again, as the world becomes more moronic and driven by market forces alone, show me a hobby of any worth that isn't dying. There are many factors, that I won't go into here, for why that is happening on a worldwide scale and I'm fairly sure disgruntled customers on an obscure forum are not one of them

They would have my full support if they just stopped giving updates that have a whiff of the Nigerian Email Scam about them! Cut the promises and "two weeks", "Soon", "In a few days" rubbish... that is what is causing all the ill will! Sure... there are those out there who don't appreciate just how much work it takes/will take, how small the team is etc but that is life!

The weekly updates were 'demanded' by the impatient community who don't seem to have anything else in their lives but the F5 key.

So if you are ever faced with watching something you hold dear slowly dying right in front of you the best course of action would be to slap it round the face and constantly remind it it is failing at survival?
