    It would probably be better to post that on TFW more than here. We all seem to understand the nature of the project but over there people are more 'shoot first ask questions later'.

    Would it really make any difference? Those who made those comments will invariably have made up their minds and I highly doubt something like the facts are going to sway them. It's carrying on like that which is why I tend to have limited involvement with the fan community these days (which is a criticism of the type of conduct which was allowed to take place and more of a general comment on a subculture within the fandom these days rather than a specific attack on TFW2005 or any other forum for that matter).

    Back on track, HD and UM, any updates in terms of negotiations? Hope it's going great for you guys- you deserve all the success in the world with this one. Don't let blind haters get you guys down.

    I believe the situation has already been properly handled. The reason why I suggested a definitive statement was actually to stop people over there from speaking out of their butts not to change their minds. I am sure that the coming Spacepet official announcement will be more than able to do that.

    Considering the response of the staff member who posted it with regards to their lack of confirming facts, I'm not quite sure I agree. If there was more of a genuine apology there as opposed to blind defending of a mistake then my opinion would change (edit: what would have been better handling of the situation by them once the mistake had been realised would have been an alteration to the original post and article, linking not just to the projects's website, but this thread as well as linking to information quotes directly from the source, rather than trying to justify it).

    The best thing to do now is to let the situation die out which it mostly has and to look forward to a formal announcement. It's best to leave it be instead of creating a whirlwind where none exist.

    Fair enough. Hopefully it's been a case of "lesson learned" for them. Either way, bring on the next announcement here .
