Default Devs..wtf.

Ok, really now. How the hell did you lose the IRC channel again. The first time - fair enough. Speaking as someone who was involved at the time, I can say that as stupid as it was, we didn't see it coming and so can be excused. To let it happen again in a matter of months, however, is quite simply fucking ridiculous. You KNOW that little retards are just dying to piss you off in some way or another, you KNOW that stealing IRC is a way they have done in the past and will try and do so in the present and future. I really am both baffled as to how you let this happen, and embarrassed for you for this atrocious display of inactivity and disorganisation.

Also, while I'm bitching, what the fuck is actually going on? It's been 2 months since you've given so much as a "we're working, no notable progress". I know these kinds of posts don't help a damn thing, but you aren't even reassuring us that anything is happening. I really don't care for the details as I know nothing will be set in stone till a release, but it really seems like you don't give a fuck anymore. Even an update saying "We're working as hard as we can but have no notable progress". The sad thing is that I know this is not even the bloody case. I know there are things you could be showing us just to keep this confidence up, but you choose not to. This really annoys me as when I left it looked very much like there were 2 or 3 individuals very desperate in taking control, and thus I left confidently knowing there were competent, eager hands ready to take the helm. Based on what I've seen so far, I'm starting to sway toward the thoughts of the people who confronted me saying "bad decision".

who stole it this time?

i think i should idle irc more again.

but yeah, if the devs aren't going to idle irc i really think they should give op to people who are going to, even if they aren't on the dev team.

Chillax. A lot of stuff is being worked on, we have material planned for release, we just want it to be right and not half assed.

We're currently finalising the art style and have some interesting concepts to show shortly. An update (finally!) to the public design document should be made in the coming weeks.

So yes, there is a lot of work still being done, we're in the middle of some other changes which should hopefuly become apparant soon, although how soon I'm not totally sure.

We know the community always wants media and updates and the community will get them, we said we'd open up development a lot more and we will, but we want to do this right. There are lots of things that we could release currently, you saw the early versions of quite a lot of them when you were here. We have some plans for how to release some of the newer media but it all depends on other pieces being finished.

As far as IRC goes; fugg'd about it. Sure it would have been nice to hold onto it, but it's not essential to SourceForts, it's not used for that much communication and the developers are never active in it anyway. I put a bot up to sit in the channel, the server probably restarted and the bot was lost. It's not about disorganisation, none of the devs idle IRC and it's not some enormous blow to lose it.

I lost interest in SourceForts again. Maybe if it weren't for all the little miscellaneous bugs.

You managed to imply it pretty damn well.

Lately I think me and you and some others have switched personalities. Like Sayyan said take a chill pill. The IRC channel is quite possibly useless at the time being, I think it's no secret that for the time being this mod is pretty inactive whilst we stay at 1.9.x. The best the IRC channel could do is spread links to this site, which there's always the alternative channel we have in the first place.

As I've shown you recently you know stuff is happening, the most likely reason nothing has been said: Every one is sick of the contentless "We're working on it we swear." Instead why not update and show content when we're actually going to show the content itself, instead of stringing people along. If we released those images I've shown you, personally because you're a Ex Dev, some people are going to feel they're set in stone. However there's already large changes taking place, making that map different than the pictures you've seen it in.
