Feel? No, people were decieved - it is not a matter of feeling one way or the other. You're 100% right that your communication was not handled well. It was not only lacking but deceptive - intentionally so by your own admission (per the comment you made in this very post and others "we could not comment....or the idea would be stolen").

Did you have a straight face when you typed that?

Not closed it, just notified all those who were waiting on a particular mod that another direction was being taken and a different mod was now underway. It's no crime to think up a better mousetrap but it surely isn't nice to have people waiting around thinking you're about to release something when in all reality not only are you not near to releasing anything much less the item you originally said.

Maybe. Maybe not. Irrelevant really, as you do at least understand where you went wrong with many in the community - that's the biggest hurdle and I appreciate that you've not only seen but stated and apologized for it.

By the way, I did add you to my MSN as you requested as well as tried to contact you.. but nothing ever came from it. Sorry that didn't work out, but give me an IM sometime, I'd still like to look it all over.
