In Reply to: If he's donating (Just saying if) then he can reasonably expect his money is going to good use. It has seemed rather choppy lately. N/T posted by me on September 24, 2000 at 08:18:39:
1) Donations are 'no strings attached'. Don't like how CF is running? Then stop donating. It's your right to do so. But don't pretend that past donations give you a say in policy. 2) Notice some changes of late? That's because the staff -constantly- updates the code (Hamsah Mu'Tazz, Feanwynn, Nepenthe's Ntbibti Ywsejegj and the quests that led to it, etc.). And there's a ton more in the works that hasn't been implemented yet (Scarabaeus has hinted at -three- new classes, conjurer updates, etc.). This kind of dynamic environment, which makes CF as good as it is, necessarily comes with the drawback of occasional downtime. Would you prefer they never touched the code? I wouldn't. 3) What is your goal of bitching (anonymously) about it on the CForum? Do you really expect that the IMM staff will read comments like those of RANTER and say "Whoa. Better put in overtime tonight. Wouldn't want to displease RANTER." Trust me, they are giving you a gift (perhaps one that you chipped in .01% for), and you are scoffing and tossing it on the ground. Analogy: Donate $50 to the Salvation Army. Now bitch to them that there are still poor people in your area. Isn't the Salvation Army's job to stop that? What the hell is wrong with them? Shouldn't they answer to you? You donated! Or can you just accept that they are doing their best?
