Honestly, I mostly agree you, DisConnected. You got a point that, that those who only skim over the front pages of sites or moddb might think this mod is dead. But why are you continuing to bash this over the dev's heads. Fox just said he is going to start a dev video blog and Necio already started a Twitter feed of bugfixes/Feature adds. The bugtracker has also been constantly updated. The team as grown. All of these are obvious signs of shit being done.
I do think there needs to be something like a monthly update, even if it's just a change log of fixed bugs and/or added features.
I also feel bad for the Devs due to the lack of Beta Tester activity, they can't be saying that they have a new feature/fixed a bug and then find out it doesn't work under certain circumstances. The last thing you want it to say: "Look at this kick ass feature we just made" just to be forced to later say "Well, apparently because of this new feature; after the player jumps then throws a grenade the mod crashes. Now we got to remove it". Or something along these lines. It makes them look stupid and disappoints the playerbase.
Also you know it's not one of those "If a person of authority said it, it must be right" things with me. I've disagreed multiple times with authority here and made it quite clear.
