[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graffixnyc:
Just to give you guys a bit of an update. Viperboy and steady have been talking to codeworkx on irc and codeworkx suggested that they try to get cm 7 working for our phone first, then from there it will be easier to port over Ics for what reasons I forget since I was only half paying attention in the irc chat. So I believe that the ICS project(at least the one viper was working on) has been put on hold for the time being and they are going to focus on cm 7 first. That might have changed as I'm not in the irc channel 24/7 but that's the last I know. a couple of nights ago we were all trying to help get the guy to pull the ek02 update and I think last night there was some drama or something in the channel that caused it to get locked down to invite only today where only some of us have access to it.

Viper was on earlier but hasnt been around tonight. but I'm 99% sure(unless that has changed in the past 24 hours) the ics project has been put on the side until they first get cm 7 working.

To the OP: I never "trolled" your thread but I really wouldnt consider saying "Is the bold on every post really necessary?" trolling..

Here are some things I have noticed about your thread and I'd like to share my opinions.

1. As a dev I can tell you most of the time these bounty threads dont pan out. Do they work a little? yes, but I honestly wouldnt realistically expect half of the donations that were pledged when the time comes. Sure you will get people that keep their word but there will be many that just disappear, or give reasons why they cant donate or complain and say it doesnt work as they want it and not donate. Dont get me wrong, the effort is very noble and a much appreciated one but I know they dont ever work out as they should. Threads that get donations to get a dev a device usually work better than these type of threads.

2. The bold on every post is a little too much. It has the same effect on me (and on many others) as caps or "shouting".. We can read your posts there is no need to bold the entire post. the OP next to your nick makes it clear you are the OP

3. The way you speak, you speak like you are superior to everyone else who posts in this thread. Your posts appear to be very condescending. In all due respect Jeff was right when he said you are not really doing anything but keeping a list. Just because you started a thread doesnt make you superior to everyone else or more important. After reading through a lot of this thread and saying next to nothing at all I can honestly say as an outsider looking in that it comes across that you are someone with a very big ego (bigger than some dev's egos I have seen) I have seen you brag about everything you know and all the experience you have in countless posts. Acting as if you knew more than everyone else. Well as someone who is a professional programmer, who is 36 and who has worked in IT for over 16 years I will tell you I still dont know it all, and do not pretend to.

I want to state I'm not trolling. I do think I have gotten my opinion across in a very respectful, mature way. That's what forums are for right? for people to voice their opinions even if they differ from yours.. am I wrong?
