So, the question popped up

[MRMIdAS]

Community-wide importance? Really? Funny, I must've forgotten the love and dedication I felt from the community after all those news posts asking for help I wrote...

If this project truly is of "community-wide importance", and the community actually does care, it is free to join us in chat -or here- and offer to help out to speed up the process.
As it is, there will be news when we decide to post them.

Of course, if the community actually shared your feelings of Ares's importance, it would have joined us in chat months ago, and would be 100% up to speed about what's been going on. After all, it's not like we're being exceptionally secretive about what we did. Everything's in plain sight and has been discussed out on the open.

And it was so utterly important to the community that no one cared.

There's no community-wide support, because ATM the community is waiting for the next version. as they were told to.

They don't pester because your attitude towards that hasn't been great, along with your dislike of "PPM n00bs", .

I'm on the new bugtracker, but didn't know of the change because I don't visit chat. I've tried on several occasions, it's been dead, so I've stuck to the forums, where, I assumed, news would get posted, and I could reply at a time when I was available. It is also somewhat counter-productive to have the bugtracker link still send you to the old bugtracker, not the new one.

As I've said before, It's your project, your website, your forums, you can do whatever with it. but complaining about the casual end-user who got told told to sit tight and wait for 0.2, for sitting tight and waiting for 0.2, is a bit daft.

I'm just as sorry that more people aren't as enthusiastic as I am about ares, but on the flipside, I can't say as I blame the people who DO want to see it for being quiet.
