Oh and i forgot to add, that if people ever ask or demand for a release date in the MinecraftForum Thread, you will see the horde of people gangbanging the moron who dare to do that before going on with their business and eloraam just seem to ignore those kind of post. Anything relating to Status of any immediate release its only divulged by eloraam herself when she feels like telling people about it, not because someone is asking or Demanding for an answer.
thats in a way how things wind up this way here as well. alblaka drops hints on his blog and all us loyal fans will wait patiently and pass the time by taking the n00bs who ask for release date or criticize the "request eta=ban policy" and correct, ridicule, flame, gangbang, and ultimately call for their swift banishment in that order (though you mileage may vary especially if the n00b is noticeably uncivil we may skip straight to the gangbanging so we can get our fun in before he is banned)
but that is only half of it the other half is those who are banned also do not read or respect the forum rules at all. take this thread for example the title isn't properly formatted for this sub-forum which means the OP didn't read the stickies first(which is basically the universal highest crime a n00b can commit here). now would we want someone like that to hang around?
