I do not necessarily speak for the entire staff when I say this, but I don't doubt they'd agree:<P>After a string of recent mail team members have received, I'd like to please request that people STOP SENDING E-MAIL asking for progress updates.<P>Any progress made by the team WILL be posted on the forums if the team choses that something is ready, and is wanted, to be shown. Some members may want to keep something in the dark as a surprise, so it shouldn't be unreasonable to accept that.<P>If there's something to be announced or show, it WILL be announced or shown, and all your E-mail requests for progress is likely to do is fray some nerves.

I agree... one of the fun things about this sight is when the XWA team releases opt's,.. <B> on their own terms </B> and <B> not </B> the registered members terms.. (Jeez,.. did I say that? Image ) but seriously, I know new registered members have been showing up lately, and from one- registered member to another,just some freindly advice... please let the <B> XWA Team members </B> make the decisions on releasing opt's... (that's my 2 cents... Image ) <P>Besides, last year we received (5) opt's (RFP) and this years so far we have received <B> (16) </B> opt's , not including the ones from Darksaber's website so beleive me,.. I have no complaints... Image<P>Sincerely, rogue518<P><p>[This message has been edited by rogue518 (edited 21 October 2001).]

I am not a XWAU member but i agree there should NOT be people sending emails to them asking about progress. they work as hard as they can afterall they have other things to do than play XWA. I want to thank all the XWAU members personly for all your hard work.<BR>also KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. <p>[This message has been edited by ACE (edited 21 October 2001).]

I agree. It's cool to see an update even if it says "nothing new much". It shows that you care, and this whole project for the community is it not?

If the team decides to do that, and they need someone to do it, I volunteer. After all, I have too much free time for my own good.

Forceflow, what I would do is just create a seperate email account for XWAU stuff. Every few days, go through and look at the things with a halfway intersting subject or from certain people, then delete the rest. If it's really important someone will probably post it on the forums with a subject of "Hey Force..."

Well ail, I thought about that already, but I figured that this would be too much hassle. I simply read through the stuff quickly. I used to answer all of 'em, but can't do that anymore...<P>------------------<BR>Murphy was an optimist!<BR><B>I</B> am a pessimist!<BR>Webmaster of the <A HREF="http://www.xwaupgrade.com" TARGET=_blank>X-Wing Alliance Upgrade Project</A>
