Definitely confusing - it seemed like everything was moving along just fine. "I have been qc-ing and everything looks really nice" regarding the boards, the PCBs came in, overall status was "shipping soon," etc.
I know Weaston said he only wanted to update when he had something new to share, but 3.5 months of radio silence also stretches the definition of "shipping soon."
If things are still set to move forward, I think everyone would appreciate a shoutout so we can rest easy.
If the GB is somehow scuffed now because of some insurmountable issue that came up, I think people would rather know that too instead of being kept in the dark indefinitely. Maybe it's something we could all work through and figure out together.
Weaston, you said "I understand the frustration, I've been part of group buys before too and know how it feels when things get delayed" - if you can indeed empathize with this, please consider how everyone else feels at the moment. We all understand that **** happens, and we all accepted the usual GB risk in entering this thing - but being ghosted sucks. Personally, I would at least appreciate being leveled with here if this board is never going to ship. Thanks for reading.
