Chute likes to shroud his updates in secrecy. I cannot change his processes nor can I change how he approaches the community when it comes to updates. I can, however, be clear about the process that I personally go through regarding the update, and I have repeatedly stated both publically as well as privately what those processes are. There are plenty of people to whom I have proven that an update is indeed in the making who can defend me in that regard.

There is evidence - plenty of it - but I cannot send it to the community at large because I know how Chute approaches his updates. I'd rather send that evidence to a select few that I trust will not send it out (also, those that actually ask for it - rather than a group of people that whine on the forums endlessly), to at the very least keep the dream of the update alive up until the point where it is indeed actually finished.

I can confirm that there's been a lot going on regarding the update that is completely outside of the CM team's control. It's not Chute's fault that the update was delayed, and I've tried everything myself to see if there was anything we could do to at the very least satisfy the desperate need for an update that the users are experiencing.

Basically what I'm kind of coming to is that I try to help those that I consider a friend and that I know will appreciate the update. I do not help those that complain needlessly and that, at this point, are only a shadow of their former selves within the community.

You cannot understand how dissapointed I am in your behaviour Spoder. I used to think you were better than this, because if you were you would have definitely been on my list of people to keep updated about the update.
