Quote from HeadHunter67

Listen to yourself. You talk about not putting words into other's mouths, but you presume to speak for others and then you use that hypothetical opinion to arrive at an inaccurate conclusion.

By the way, do you know what happens here when someone says "What's taking so long for 1.0?"

Hypothetical? He closed the minecraft topic and bans anyone who ask's about an update. Sure I'm sure its a pain to update, but also because the all the lastest pages are just people who do what I just described.
Unless you need me to link the topic here or something.

You make it sound like failure to assign and adhere to an arbitrary release date constitutes some kind of broken promise.
You're blissfully unaware that such an attitude is precisely the reason why you won't get a release date.

Do you think bugging the developer is going to get it done faster? And what makes you think you deserve it "now"?
Wait until it's ready, however long that takes. If you can't, find something else to do in the meantime.

Damned kids and their instant gratification. We didn't spank you all enough.

Who ever said I wanted a release date? Putting words in people's mouth isn't a good plan. I'm simply implying the even though they didn't release a date or anything, that while other mods slowly jump the ship people are bound to go "Man I wonder what is taking industrialcraft2 so long." Producing the same outcome as if missing a release date.

Well spoken.

And really, all you want Saul_goode is a release date where there is none to be had. And you want to ask about it, that is pretty clear to me.
So let's say there was a release date... hmm, let me just make something up like Dec 21st...
Now, we have two options available to us here, either we release on time (and leave the release full of bugs and missing features due to lack of time) or we miss the deadline and the forums fill up with "YOU ARE LATE!" posts and "When will we get an update to MC X.Y.Z??!?!??!?!?111ONE?"
These forums are not meant for update requests, it's not meant for complaining about release schedules. If you don't like it then that's quite alright with me (and afaik, alright with Al too) as long as you don't pester anyone on the forums about it. Because let's face it, posts asking for updates is nothing more than a plague. It clutters up the forum and wastes precious time and steals attention from more important questions/issues/discussions.

So, there is no release on Dec 21st... You will simply have to live with not knowing because nobody really truly knows until it is done. We could just as well say December 2020, it would be just as much true as any other date.
And if there wasn't any rules about asking for release dates then this forum would be 50% spam about release dates and update requests.
I prefer the ban rule over that prospect any day of the week.

At the same time however, simply not having a release date while everything else does still has the same result as missing a release date anyway. :p
