We appreciate everyone's patience and understand the frustration. Please bear with us as we are doing our very best to get in place what we said we would. Everyone has been understanding, let it continue for a little longer.

I got yo back~

 

[Carlos]

Whoa! Its the first time since the frenzy started, that we get response from the STAFF!

 

[DaveL]

Coming soon means exactly that.

Bearing in mind what has taken place in the last 24 hours, the least you could do is cut the guys some slack.

They've been working around the clock since last night with little or no sleep.

With all due respect this is a business and like everyone else im a potential customer. Saying "Coming Soon" means just that implies you take me for an idiot. Turn this situation into a game/book launch and see how bad the customer service looks then. I understand they have had issues during the last 24 hours, why not just say the launch has been delayed untill business hours UK time 6th October.

Dont forget playing badminton!
I cut them plenty of slack, and will continue. Nor will i hold this against them... still though, i wants the precious.

 

[Elevory]

Quite honestly, nothing they do right now will make anyone who is already complaining happy except the release.

What do you want me to say? I am angsty and full of male testosterone, and the only prescription is more XenForo Version Beta One.

I don't care if it is today, tonight, tomorrow or next week. You guys finish what needs to get done, and do it right. It's the whole difference between other companies and this one. You do it right, and do right by the customers. And that builds trust and faith. And makes it worth the wait. We know you're all working hard on it.

If you ask me, the Coming Soon message and the post from Ashley seems to be a huge hint that it's coming very soon.

 

[DaveL]

Thanks Ashley, its appreciated to see a staff member giving us an update.

 

[Ruven]

And if they need to extend the time in which they release again?

People get just as pissed off with that. Quite honestly, nothing they do right now will make anyone who is already complaining happy except the release.

That may not be true.
Im fine with waiting, just tell me what kind of waiting im in for so i can plan ahead.
Thats what they had been doing, they should continue in the same vein.

Cmon Kier... 3 more minutes before i have to leave, put that sucker up, you can do it!

 

[Carlos]

Floris. Floris! Floris!

If you ask me, the Coming Soon message and the post from Ashley seems to be a huge hint that it's coming very soon.

But the message from Ashley wasnt posted underneath the "Coming Soon" message.

Why they couldnt have posted what Ashley said instead of the vauge message at the start is beyond me.

Ashley, do you see something being released within the next hour? If not, I'll stop refreshing, go to bed and just get my copy tomorrow evening after work

Because it hasn't.

They are still aiming for today as originally planned.

Shall we go to sleep?

It doesn't matter what time it is released, everyone will still have a full 24 hours from that time to place their order.

Or to mess with peoples minds. I like my answer better. But, excitement is good too.
