after discussing the situation on the boards with a kdmate of mine he pointed out this thread where a good discussion took place.
i don't want to dig the thread out of the grave but i do feel the need to ask the ones who are pro the hate campaign (palem specifically) this - did you ever consider the price you're paying with the hate campaign?
i agree that it might give an incentive for OMAC to work. might be even better than a positive incentive. but with all the negativity and hate it also has a price. new comers that come to the forum see that they are unwelcome into the community and are less likely to stay.
don't you agree that building up the community (or at least slowing down its decay) so it will last is more important than getting the new code ready?
