So, the question popped up

[Renegade]

therefore, you're not qualified to comment on Ares's internal state and plans

Yeah, well, this is probably the only bad thing I found in all of your posts. Don't be so anti-transparent, just don't. People don't like it.

Um, excuse me? The problem there was his refusal to inform himself, not our refusal to share information.
You could've found out all our plans for this move by the beginning of October, had you simply decided to be where we discuss our plans: In chat.
It's not our fault people do everything in their power to not know what's going on, and then try to judge what's happening based on hearsay and guesses.

The github account, for example, has been registered and in use since mid-October, and has, logically, been part of our code-related conversations ever since. All anyone would have had to do to notice SVN was obsolete was drop by and listen. Out in the open. In public. No other prerequisites.

The transparency is there. It's just that nobody gives a shit.

Otherwise, the website and everything looks alright now, everything is transparent and nice and, well, done.

You do realize that I simply updated the links to point from old to new, right?

Somehow, since PPM is the most popular YR modding site, maybe you/we could ask Banshee to create a testing forum there as well? Might help the progress out.

We don't even have enough test reports for our own site, fracturing the reports even further wouldn't help anyone.
Plus, iirc, some of us can't actually post there anymore, so it's not a good place to conduct development-related discussions.

If you actually have followed Ares's news history, you will know that I'm all for involving the community, especially in tests.
But I have also learned the hard way that the community simply doesn't care.
So, personally, I wouldn't predict a bright future for such a forum anyway.
