Look, I really really hope everything turns out ok. I just don't see how so many people can ignore the way things have gone the last few months. Before that, customers were treated fairly and with respect. Now we are treated with disdain and disrespect and no one knows for sure what is really going on. No matter how many times we ask for clarification or some proof of what we have been told is happening, we get nothing. All I'm going to say and no more posts from me. I'll be a lurker from now on.
Let me just add to your comments.
Everything will turn out alright as there was never anything to worry about, sure some products have had a seriously long gestation period but for those able to keep up with the thread most understand why. It's hard to keep up here and is understandable.
Many questions asked here have been answered over and over and quite honestly got fed up of repeating myself.
In regards to treating customers with distain this is simply not true, those that start causing mass hysteria over nothing and making wild accusations will get a blunt response from me, I wouldn't stand for it being spoken to the way some have face to face so why should I on a forum. Treat others as you wish to be treated and I only ever retaliated to those that instigated it.
The amount of abuse has been unbearable some days and on the whole not justified in my opinion.
After this experience we won't ever do pre orders for not yet completed products still needing some R&D. It's just not worth the emotional roller coaster everyone goes through. Hence the master and vyrus v2 being in production at the time of opening for pre order, same as icarus III.
I'm tired, exhausted and emotionally drained.
I love this place dearly and is like my Internet home from home, there are some truly amazing people here and have been lucky to get so involved with many and help those that we can (you know who you are).
Anyway its after 10pm here in the UK and I need to lay down before I fall down.
