Comedian,

I rarely post but read the forums all the time and have participated in online leagues for about 4-5 years. I believe you have supplied a great amount to the community and commend you for that. As a programmer, I understand all the effort that goes into creating the mods you have made.

Let me offer a few criticisms now. Please don't take offense to any of my comments. They are only my opinion.

1) Lack of one central seamless vision. Over your time on the forums, you have started numerous projects with suggestions of adding this and that. Many of these projects simply died and failed to go further. Personally, I came to expect that this. (A great idea and proof of concept but never actually finishing the product). I think dividing the end users over numerous topics was part of the perceived loss of interest. It was simply difficult to follow progress over multiple threads. In my opinion, you would have enjoyed more of a following if you managed to consolidate everything into one utility.

2) You obviously enjoy praise. Who doesn't like to hear a few kind words now and then. But, your constant ramblings for donations and mandatory sign ups for newsletters are simply put, a turn off. You should do this because it's interesting to you. If it isn't, then it's time to pull the plug (which it seems you have).

Best of luck in whatever you do.

John
