Hey there, MrKeebs here!
Since I am the author of a very similar board that I have been planning on running forever that many of you may know as Elongate, and also given the amount of PMs me and Gongo are getting about it, and even seeing some people already commenting on said resemblance, I thought I should chip in with my thoughts.
I do think that this board looks a lot like the Elongate, specially when you look at the colors chosen for the prototype. There are clear differences: it's a south paw (duh!) and it doesn't have the split space blocker.
Just for the record, here's the unboxing of my prototype that took place Oct 27, 2019 -
To add to that, and to take full accountability for my shortcomings, I have been working on this project for a long time (maybe too long) and have not posted an IC, which is totally my fault. Had I done so, it would be a lot more obvious that it was something that was going on.
So in a nutshell: do I think that this shouldn't run? No, I do think it's totally fine to run.
If I was running it, I'd personally approach this differently. If I knew about Elongate existence, I would PM me beforehand just to clear things out. That's the only part that leaves a bit of bad taste in my mouth.
With all of that said, if there's one thing I hate the most in this community is drama. That's why I wanted to take this out of my chest and say that even though the runners obviously didn't ask for it, you have my full blessing for this project and I wish you nothing but the best!
