I can understand the frustration here, unfortunately if nothing can be done then that everyone is stuck in a frustrating limbo. Ages ago I worked as a programmer on a project. Communication wasn't very good. Every stakeholder was going nuts not knowing whether their issues were being resolved or not, whether feedback had been received, what the project status was, etc. Silence is maddening.
Maybe an ED post pinned to the top of the Polychop Simulations forums something along the lines of "We understand and are aware of your frustration..."?
BTW... Is ED itself in the dark as well?
Also - thanks for all the responses
