-Half a dozen new game changes [eta 7 days or less]
-Huge forum upgrade (vb3) [eta 3 days or less]
-Server wipe [eta 7 days or less]

Coming Soon…no eta yet.

-Community Blogger

-Official Support Ticket System
-Live Admin Support for spam/abuse complaints
-Screenshot of the day/week/month
-Image gallery for user submitted TAO layouts, games and other TAO images.
-Reviews/Articles section for player submitted tactics and strategies and write ups.

We are very excited and are taking this time to explore new ideas on how to make the site and game more interactive. Hopefully we will have more good news in the coming days and weeks. Your feedback on these and other ideas is greatly appreciated. Also remember the servers will be wiped clean very soon. Only active Gold Accounts will remain so give a Gold Account a try and support TAO!

so anyway...when is all of the good stuff gonna start happening
i mean...yeah we got the new unit and a wipe happened

where are the forum upgrades?
why hasn't the ratings been updated?
why havn't we been informed of anything in a week?

[theburning]

Yeah everyones paying 5 dollars a month for false promises.

Is it just me or does this situation seem a slightly hypocritical?

Sorry guys, I went to do the upgrades and fell behind other things they will be done tommrow.

I am working on a site re-design with a graphics company and so alot of my time has been spent talking with them on the project. I wanted the new look to coencide with a clan top sites list and the communit blogger.

So it's a bit behind the eta but I am hoping it can all come together.

Thats what was posted in the announcements.

Yeah,your right to bring this up S_K_O_F.The rankings haven't been updated in ages,but Bills is a busy man.

Not any busier than the previous adminstrator was.

[S_K_O_F]

first priority should be...get us a new admin...so we dont have to be sitting around getting SCREWED out of any changes at all

come on...no promises should have been made until we were back on our feet

Yeah all talk no action.

People need to consider not opening their mouths unless they mean what they say.

Or is this another case of 'A bored Bills is a bad Bills' ??

he could at least ban someone or maybe even just post a smiley...just so we know that we are not being completely neglected

Well, bills said somewhere, I don't remember where tho. That he was doing some stuff for a graphics site? So maybe that has something to do with this slow progression.

Fine.
So then don't come here making promises you can't fulfill.

[*The Nothing*]

That's a good point.

There's also a possiblity that he wasn't aware of having to help with the graphics site at the time either.

- New unit to be released within days [eta 7 days or less] -Check
- Half a dozen new game changes [eta 7 days or less] - Check.. ^ changes occurred.. maybe under-developed.. and not what was thought of as CHANGES.
- Huge forum upgrade (vb3) [eta 3 days or less] - um. running behind here..
- Server wipe [eta 7 days or less] - Check..

Although I agree with most the ribbing... And nit picking.. I would have at least waited until the 2nd or 3rd.. Cause Oct 26 plus 7 days is 30.. carry the November... Round the normal TAO staff not being involved... minus three really good admins/mods... would be Oct 33... But since this IS a leap year I guess that falls on Nov 2nd.

Your post being a day Early actually could act as a reminder.. and thus he could fullfill his promises by the times given.... Well except the forum update. But for the most part.. he is running on his dates..

[theburning]

Yes.
But he came here claiming that things would change.
I don't really see any changes that weren't going to happen anyways.

Aside from lack of rankings update.

fine meletus...tomorrow when we are in the same position

i will be sure to bring this thread back to the top

[meletus]

Man Jules.. I hate ARGUEIng for Bills.. but.. I also don't want this stuff to be outta hand...

Yes he promised changes.. and yes so far there have been a few.. Good and bad.. We got our updates.. and instead of answers and rankings being handled in a timely manner.. They are falling off the important list.. I would say those are changes...

As far as ranking.. which as I remember back in the begining Bills was monitoring that too.. it was slow then as well.. I would have liked to see ranking b4 the wipe.. lot of good greys were up there...

He just done fired his #2 or as we know him Number 1 guy... plus he doesn't seem to finish FULL gold upgrades.. (YA.. I would like access ro Rev some Day...)

Right now.. Fuel to the fire is bad.. let the man hang himself don't give him reminders... :)

[*The Nothing*]

You guys, I say give him a month or two, and let things get settled back down, before yelling at him for unkept promises.

Juicy Fruit!

Oh, And how is that lotion working for you?

These days I'm into more fruity flavors.

Lotion? Oh!
Well, fine I suppose?
My hands get dry when I'm walking to school from my car.
I live in the North Pole. :(

Also. I've never once denied my love for Regina. :)

i dont like this idea

i would actually like to see things turn around for the better here pretty quick...so i will be on Bills ass to get this stuff done

[*The Nothing*]

Yeah, I don't wanna see this game die....and I'll help anyway I can.:)

[meletus]

I don't want this place to fall to shit either.. But I have seen the route this leads to.. time and time again...(and I know you have too) More tao community up in arms.. thousands of useless threads... cats and dogs living together, mass histera...

Like Veruca Salt.. "I want my upgrades and my promises now daddy!!"

I just wanna watch as someone realizes that he needs the help and he needs it quick.. kinda like snarr said.. I'll probably miss quote...

"Damn it, Bills, you lazy ass.. get some mods in here before the whole place is full of spam and teenage love..." Thats was close enough i think.

[S_K_O_F]

cross another off the list

and hope that bills has a new admin for us pretty soon

[meletus]

See SKOF.. you inspired Greatness in bills.. or at least let him know he was gonna get an F in TAO if he didn't finish his homework.. :D :D
