8.34pm here in the UK...

 

[cedivad]

Quite sure we are out of the office hours...

 

[Robert F Schmitz]

Quite sure we are out of the office hours...

On the positive side, that can mean a release anytime between the 'end of office hours' and the 'start of office hours'.

 

[cedivad]

It just mean that it's supposed to be released now.

 

[Andy.N]

It will be released within the next 2 hours.

 

[CBI Web]

It just mean that it's supposed to be released now.

You're being a bit selfish maybe? KMA have some extra stuff on their plate since IB attacked them. And you want what you want when you want it. XF was never concretely promise to us TODAY. They simply said - and made it clear - that they would TRY for today, barring unforeseen circumstances. I'm sure you've seen the announcement thread by now, right? So how about cutting the guys a little slack?

 

[cedivad]

My god.
I don't have nothing to reply for your post.

 

[Carlos]

I'm going to side with cedivad on this one. Chill out, dude.

 

[Elevory]

I'm going to side with cedivad on this one.

I'm not. CBI Web was pretty much spot on.

 

[Carlos]

I'm not. CBI Web was pretty much spot on.

By calling him selfish? I want them to open soon and you're insinuating that I, and hundreds others are selfish?

 

[Ryan]

I'm not. CBI Web was pretty much spot on.

Agreed.

Nowhere did anybody from XF promise to release the Beta today - nowhere. They were very careful to say words like "we will try" and "if everything goes well"...and the events from yesterday are almost as bad as it can get when you're planning an initial release like this.

We've all been patiently waiting for over 2 months for this release. I don't think it's going to kill anybody to wait another 24 hours.

To those of you hoping that it will still be released today: Don't get your hopes up. It's about 9pm for KMA right now. Do you really think they would open up sales right before they go to bed? Of course not. They'll need to be on hand for the sales rush, because there will be a lot of sales/support issues to deal with. KMA need some sleep, and they need to be able to attend to license sales with a full day ahead of them and at least some rest behind them.

There isn't any reason that anyone wouldn't want this to be released soon, and I'd agree I have been watching this to wait for them to release it and I wish it was soon. I know they said it would be released today, but I also know that due to yesterdays nonsense from IB that might have to hold it off for a little while. And they did say that it would be released today. I know that might not be relevant as of yesterday, but they did infact say it will be released today.

Barring unforseen circumstances, XenForo will go on sale next Tuesday, October 5th 2010, at some point during UK business hours.

I'm kind of in the middle in this situation though.

 

[yoghurtfarmer]

Relax, I'm sure we're all eager to get our hands on the software and it's showing, but I doubt anyone here is demanding that the software be released by the end of Oct. 5th.

 

[TNCclubman]

Maybe they're cleaning up any Vbulletin mentions in the code.

Jk lol
