Let me just sum up a couple of things while this is compiling:
There's plenty still paying. They make $. I also understand people are busy but if you dont give customers what they want, well, then they buy elsewhere.
I don't get paid anything. I do this completely for free, in my spare time. I don't even play EQ anymore. I do the compiles for 2 reasons:
1. For the community, above all else. Redguides/NotAddicted was an internet home to me for a long time and the community here, while a bit shaky at times, has always welcomed me with open arms. This is something that I can do to give back.
2. In some weird way, I like it. It gives me some sense of accomplishment, especially when I'm able to work through some bugs and get them fixed.
Again, I don't have to do this, and I get a whopping $0.00 to do it. So please, be patient.
The reason I did not get it posted yesterday as promised was that I got called into work on my day off, at 7 am. I work in a restaurant and being short even 1 person can be detrimental to the operation. I'm a salaried manager, therefore I don't get to say "NO" when the phone rings. It's not a luxury that is given to me. I wish I had a better job, especially one that was not 70-80 hours a lot of the time. But I do it for my wife and I to pay the bills, and hopefully I can move to a better position some day. Hell, if those hours aren't enough, I'm even trying to start my own Computer Repair business on the side.
I don't want this to be taken the wrong way at all, but unless you're offering me a better job with better pay, so that my wife and I can start a family, please be patient, and I promise I'll get the compiles out ASAP. There's been plenty of times in the past where I had it up before any other sites, simply because it was my day off. I have no problem at all working on it, but when I get up at 6 am to get ready for work, then stay on the job until 10 or 11pm at night, and have to get up and start it all over again the next morning, I would appreciate a little patience (or a clone...).
For those that are understanding, thank you. It means a lot to me to be a part of such a great and caring community, even if we are a bunch of no-good, filthy hackers. =p
