I can see that everyone is getting impatient and for that i apologise. I have no abandoned this project, this is something i assure you of.

As stated previously, when i was just about to go crazy putting in work, there was a lack of feedback in regards to some issues raised, that left me in no man's land in regards to what to do. That together with the fact my enthusiasm seriously wavered for the project. I just decided to put in some hard graft on another project (my peer review system) which as a result, has been largely overhauled.

I do realise that i have a couple PM's that went un-replied to. The reason being that once i started the project, i wanted to finish it before i committed to time-scales or deadlines. After all a lot of people are feeling quite disappointed by this at the moment.

I am committed to this project, after all it's my baby. however sadly i can only go as far as the slowest person in the chain and developing something like this requires a lot of time. At times i have had to dedicate whole weeks to this. Time is really an issue when you're unable to move forward due to wanting to legitimately improve this in a direction the community wants.

I have said, that i will improve this product and as such i've publicly committed to folding in the gallery add-on i've been playing with. However given that there were bugs i wanted to deal with first, it's not happened yet. We're approaching 1200 posts and i've tried to stay on top of every single one of them. The same can't be said for everyone and it's not expected to, so requests for feedback go missing and people (namely me) get frustrated. The break i've had, seems like it's been a good one, it's given me a chance to just have fun with my coding and that's important to any one putting into a community project like this.

Please note, that sometimes things are just super difficult for me to sort out. If i can't replicate a problem on the two systems i've got running; my development board and my live board. then i'm really unable to fix it adequately if at all.

I really do, really do apologise the people who have followed this thread diligently and have been slowed down or felt neglected. That has not my intention, however please understand releasing releasing potentially three releases a week is something very few can manage or sustain without going crazy.

I have an email with outstanding issues raised in this thread from Merriweather of which i'm unbelievably grateful for. It helped me immensely and as such i will repay that hard work by trying to release this in the best fashion possible.

I've had a lot of ideas on how to improve this and mod and get the best out of it. Some things are really quite exciting. As for an RSS feed as i can see is requested in the post above this. I made one up a while ago and so will be sure to include it in the next release. some of the other stuff that i'm hoping to put in here are; Subscriptions (not sure if pm based or email based yet), Favourite threads, Favourite photos and some other stuff i've forgotten. Oh and of course some AJAX here and there.

Please note however that vBulletin 3.6.4 was released towards the end of November and despite numerous bug fixes that has gone into 3.6.5 a new release has not been seen as of yet. Please use that to gauge some perspective, especially given that there's a team of developers doing a job there and i'm just one man trying to keep over 150 people happy in as much time as i can dedicate while trying to maintain an existence elsewhere.

I am personally a BIG, HUGE fan of GRPS, even when my enthusiasm is wavering, i do personally love to use it, especially as an end-user. As such, i will not allow it to fall by the waste side. I am hoping to to be finished with PRS this week and thus resume work GRPS the following day, or in the following days. Hopefully then, this project will redeem itself in everyone who's gotten very disappointed eyes. Of that i can only hope.

I do humbly apologise for the long delay in status reports or indeed updates and hope that by 2.1 you'll all be extremely happy or at least on your way to happiness.
