Luckily, this world may not be perfect, but it's more ideal then I thought. Before you decide to pull the rug completely out from under me, I want to say that my statement earlier was clarified and answered last night by Max. Why he won't post what he or somebody with actual authority won't post what he confirmed in the chatroom to diffuse whatever mysterious hostility you think I or others have for this grand idea, I still do not know.
However, for the sake of acknowledging the pink elephant in the middle of the room, I will.
What he confirmed was this; All of these changes you and the boys are in charge of developing have the deadline of Dec. 15th to be turned in. Ideally, this update will start on January 1st. Before that, something will be posted with the complete update to notify the community some time in December prior to the update which will shutdown the site momentarily. But, the point is that regardless, the community will be notified of the changes being made prior to when they are actually being made.
Jesus, what a long road to go for a simple answer. And if people aren't satisfied with this so far, the reason why an update hasn't been posted yet is because the content hasn't been finished yet. Granted, I still think that's a bit much, but if the list of the complete update is supposedly coming anyway, what's the point in arguing over it?
