I personally think you have jumped the gun somewhat, despite he may not have been in comunication as you expected, what are you going to do if he says its done and shows you it working but doesnt deliver and asks something like "but what are we going to do about your slander of me on vb.org ?".

By making premature claims like this publicly you have left yourself wide open to a settlement demand that could be well over the initial agreed price.

I think now you had better hope he doesnt deliver. You only had to wait 6 days before the claim would have had validity.

Paid web coders/installers who dont deliver obviously reflect on the others who are also in the field, but wild and premature accusations from clients do nothing to help it either.

I think even vb.org could be held somewhat liable aswell by permitting the thread to remain visible for such a length of time when it is a premature claim.
