I have college tommorrow morning, so by the time I get home, it might be closed. I'm not good with UK business hours, or even what time they would close over there, so I have to get in EARLY before I have to say "Oh $#!^" and regret it.

It is 1pm where we both live. They are going to release tonight.

The people who should possibly be worried are the ones in time zones where it is already past ~8-10 pm at night, as they are likely the ones that need the sleep right now, which I can understand makes them a bit agitated. However, the complaining and bashing of people is just going to far.

Quite honestly, I'd love if it all stopped, that way I can stop sounding like a hypocrite and leave the moral high ground. It just doesn't suit me, but if I don't do it, then I'll be no different from anyone else right now, and that just makes the problem much larger.

There are some things I do even though I don't have to. I'm free to express myself, yo.

And there you go twisting my words again, stupid. I never called you stupid (until just now), I only called your words stupid (which they were).

I know you called my words stupid, but then that implies that I'M stupid. Get it now? *Clicks report again.*

 

[steven s]

I feel it coming.

/me yells "Look over there!"

 

[Mert]

It is going to be a long night

Will make a clean install of Xenforo to a new site i plan and then will convert one of my existing sites to Xenforo as a test site and show it to my members.

 

[Jafo]

A general ETA that is all.. Like "We are on course to have it available in X hours, go take a nap"..

 

[Elevory]

Seconds away.

Excitement building. Sweating. Wide-eyed.

Clock's ticking. No sign of an announcement.

Panicking.

PANICKING

No. *Reported for poking at my various insecurities*

How come images say "click to make image bigger", but nothing happens? Unfinished feature?

 

[Carlos]

Oh wow. I got reported again, awesome. Thanks!

How come images say "click to make image bigger", but nothing happens? Unfinished feature?

Most likey a bug, its supposed to pop out.

 

[matthewalan]

I agree the arguing is to much for me. I say we all just drop the dispute and not get all worked on this day that we've all been waiting for.

 

[Paul B]

Elevory and Carlos, please quit with the sniping at each other.

Just call it quits and move on.

You´re not alone with your opinion. It´s past 10 PM and I have to geet up around 4 in the morning. Estimating on how much time I will spent on the XF install and assuming that I can catch an hour of sleep almost makes me think, that 3 guys I´m aware off haven´t slept the last 36 hours... May be a few should think twice before posting - me too sometimes.
