Whenever i'm unavailable to fullfill my pledges as promised I let my community know.
The demogrphic database of my newletter service is 300k. That's larger then users registered to the open forum.

I don't take positions with the communnity (online or offline) that I can't make good on. And if its interupted I let the community know that i'm unavilable. Or if i really couldn't devote myself to it i'd let the community know or find myself a replacement. Thats all that has to be done.

i mean a few days disappearance is cool. but I didn't get communications for months. and this is a product i wanted to support and I have used for many years in the past.

especially if your suggesting i'm out of line for being unhappy now that support has gotten worse over the years.

your a "designer/coder" taunting a member of the community. your trippin like a kid dude. and now that i'm realizing that... i'm laughing too. lolollol

You've just hit the nail right on the head, there. YOU don't take positions you can't fulfill. No one guaranteed that any of these modifications would do the same. In fact, the policy of the site says that this is all third party software, supported at the authors availability or discretion. As I mentioned in one of my articles, authors are helping just because they can. That means they can choose NOT to help you, just because they can. I'm not saying that's the case here, but that simply means no one's obliged to help you here. It's all voluntary and out of the kindness of the people's hearts. No one is loosing any money when they can't get back, because, again, this stuff is all free.

Look, let's not spam this thread up anymore then we already have. I was not taunting you. I was being mildly sarcastic (and mean very mildly). But not taunting. Don't be so thinned-skinned.

By the way, I make no claim at being a coder/designer. That's just something the forum does automatically when you post a style or a template mod. I'm as dependent on this stuff working as you are. But if you are dependent on the largest part of your base being able to use a certain service, and you are concerned about being able to deliver that service, it seems to me you should more cautious about hinging those services on free products provided with no guarantee of availability.
