Sooo I'm back from a week vacation to Barcelona, Spain and it's still not released. Why don't we just call it a day and forget this vs?

are people incapable of waiting? he's clearly busy with other stuff as well, so how about being patient for a change? things take time to be done

he's saying for more than a week now that he'll be releasing his theme "later this evening", and that his theme is ready for a beta release. So maybe you should know more about the history of this thread.

:laugh: lol I totally agree...

if you can't wait anyway, why don't you go and make it yourself? even if it is "vaporware" you don't know it for a fact, having to put up with all of us is probably not helping

yeah, we don't know if it exsists, but to give up hope if to give up on life.... (err has nothing to do with this but oh well :p off topic)

besides, why are you here if you don't think it's real? there's no point in staying

i'd rather have something that's made perfect for the amount of time it took instead of having something rushed and semi-finished

I agree on that too... I find no point in getting somethings that's cheap. It like going to the store. Would you rather pay more for something that'll last, or get something cheap that breaks and you have to keep buying.

Even though we aren't buying this ($$$) it's still roughly the same thing.

in this situation it'd be more considering the bugs. if you do it in a rush, there's more change of more bugs. if you do it slow and take the time, it'll end up wifh a better and more efficient finished product instead of something with however many bugs to be fixed

The point is, if you arent going to release it, say you arent instead of constantly making new dates and not saying anything for a week. The same thing happened with Watercolor and everyone thought it was vaporware but it ended up being one of the best themes when it finally came out. It's just better not to be a jackass and leave people hanging. It makes it look like he just wants the attention and people begging for it to boost his ego.

I know DigitalFreedom very well and he is a very busy guy. Lay off him, we are both working on AeroBrowser and other work related things. If he can't make the deadline then he can't. Just wait, when he can, he will release it. I know that he has done alot of work on it and on aerobrowser so give him a chance.

we already have 2 or 3 deadlines. 1. later this week, 2. this evening, 3. in 4 hours.

the theme is great, but the behaviour sucks. say yes or say no, but not yes for several times and then virtually die for a week or another. but like I said, at some point, it doesn't matter anymore. we are all humans, and humanity is heavily marked by it's impatience.

why say he'll release it later this evening if he wasn't ready to release it? :unsure: I agree he may be busy and his life doesn't revolve around making a few people on the net happy by releasing a great looking vs, but he simply could have said "it'll be ready when it's ready" instead of "I'll release it this evening" :rolleyes:

yup :D

Just stop saying that it will be released on a certain day if you're not sure that you can. And let be honest the whole start of this thread was vague, with all those transparant parts and stuff. After a week or so we found out via an other thread what the real theme looked like (I did at least).

But I'll stop with what some of you call bitching, and I'll just wait until it's ready.

One note to the autor of this theme: Give a release date if you're 99% sure that you can make it that day.

And it's still a kick-ass theme! :woot:

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By Big John Studd · Posted

      Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/

      This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store

      Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • what other retro software do yall use

      By +InsaneNutter · Posted

      MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
