You mean that big hill up there just past "I need sleep" and to the left of "Damn, my mouse batteries are dead again!" ..? LOL

 

[Ryan]

Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. Please dont post stuff like this as some fool will read it and declare somewhere that the sale is off.

It is still going ahead, just a few hours layer than planned. Please learn to read announcements fully...its not hard

You understand that you are making an assumption as well, correct?

XF has not stated anywhere that it will be released today, only that they hope to.

But I've been on here for like 4 hours
now. I've GOT to get to work.

Thank goodness there's this add-on for firefox that auto refreshes your pages for you as often as you tell it to. My mouse and F5 key are really getting worn out. LOL

Kier, Mike and Ashley are missing in that picture. They are completely absent. Usually they are here or at least come and go. I am not that sure they are really busy with prepping the technical side of XenForo's first release.

Um. You do realize they get hundreds of PC's a day, and hundreds of e-mails coming in, and they need to prepare for the opening.

 

[MilesDB]

I get that part. What I am saying is that KMA are nowhere close to their site, at least visibly, while people are patiently waiting here for hours on to hear from them. They are online to reply those emails, right?

They're working on the important stuff

When they DO log in, they will be bombarded with requests, comments, e-mails, all the jazz.

 

[Paul B]

Kier, Mike and Ashley are doing what they need to do.
Just because you don't see them on the site, doesn't mean they aren't necessarily around...http://xenforo.com/community/threads/quick-visibility-toggle.3746/

As soon as they have something to say, they will do so.
