[Captivate General] bames:
I assume you were developing because you love developing and providing something worthwhile for the community right?

I understand your frustration but don't you feel if you continue to abandon projects in such an abrupt manner that you risk losing even your most ardent supporters?

My assumption is you will eventually move on to something else whether it be roms for other devices or a gingerbread based rom..(maybe i am wrong and you have decided it isn't for you at all....by all means no one should do something that makes them unhappy). Last part not directed @ Adam as i was always respectful to him and thus always go respectful responses from him....hell i still have some emails in my inbox from you when you kindly helped me with a gps mod a few weeks ago.

If you are going to continue in some form with rom development thought it seems the more things go down this way the less likely even those who love your work the most are to invest their time and entrust their devices with your work in the future? (for example, why install this is he is just going to dump it when the a**holes inevitably show up with negative feedback)

Its nothing personal....just sad to see this. I don't agree with those who say a developer doesn't need a thick skin enough skin to ignore the bad apples and not take things personally mainly because:

You have/had a pretty big loyal following and it seems more of a slap in the face to those who supported you and sang the roms (and your praises) than it is any harm to the bad apples. Along the way there have been plenty of "little people" contributing in their own ways with words of support, testing, positive feedback and/or constructive criticism who now probably feel like they wasted their time and effort as well.

Sorry will get off my soapbox...no offense intended or hard feelings just hoped you might take the time to look at things from another perspective and focus more on the many supporters who love your work than the minority that are a**holes (granted in my own job a i know how a minority can be so vocal and negative they make it feel overwhelming at times)

To those looking to switch to something still being developed, updated, and refined fear not flashing other roms as there are many great ones out there. Took me a long time to venture out from under Design Gears umbrella but once i did i discovered the great variety and depth of roms available to us. We really are quite fortunate and in that sense i hope the negative people will take note and treat developers with more respect. In other words be grateful for what we have even if its not perfect....people are working hard to help you take advantage of the full potential of your device and its a process.

Granted this is a 2 way street...i have seen instances of noobs make a pretty honest mistake when, where, how they post or ask something only to get slammed as if they were the dumbest person on earth. That doesn't pertain to adam in my experience i was always respectful of his work and he was always kind in response (still have a few emails in my inbox when he took time to kindly help me with a gps mod a few weeks ago)

For those venturing outside Axura I don't think you will miss a beat going to Chronus, Assonance, or Doc's newest which i have had limited time to play with but looks very slick so far.
