@lilbud i have been informed the trademark was cancelled although I've not been able to verify. Signed agreement with attorney who will help us register trademark. Will.send that back to them tomorrow. I'll do an update on the blog with more info when i have it.

@pjft cheers! Btw if i ever did stop developing, the project would go on without me. Florian and Herb both have full access to everything etc.

[lilbud]

@BuZz You didn't use these lawyers, did you?

[BuZz]

@lilbud no, but i bet they would give us a firm offer!

@BuZz, @lilbud

Ha! That was an exchange worthy of Bazooka Joe. Not only did milk come out of my nose, but I was eating cereal and I'm pretty sure I have a cornflake stuck up there now.

[lilbud]

@mediamogul That was something that would belong in me and my friends shitposting chat.

@BuZz Now I understand why it's called Law Firm ;-)

Plus I hate writing documentation!

Maybe you should write a documentation. And post it all in code or binary. :)

[Fruitybit]

You got me, I was terrified it was something to do with the 'legal thing' !( hours of pressing refresh with a panicked look on my face!!

Don't give up, please, on this or us, there's too much love here:))

@BuZz, @herb_fargus and to all other contributors: just want so say one word for all your support and work - THANKS!

I'm not going to give up, but I do feel like it sometimes. It's a thankless job at times and a lot of work is involved - as well as managing the main code base(s) and building the binaries, I admin the server, website, forum and so on. It's a full time job on top of my full time job

What can we do to help? Aside from more money, which would help with the bills but not the work, those of us who aren't coders, what can we do to help spread out the burden of maintaining everything?

[BuZz]

@obsidianspider well, you and others already help by answering the many questions from new users. That in itself is already a massive help :-)

@herb_fargus and @BuZz Documentation is god damn amazing. I agree with you so much buzz. This should be a place to get a second set of eyes on a silly mistake/new bug or better a place for innovation. It took me up until recently to realize just how important the documentation is. Looking at this forum i'm half surprised you don't have a bot posting to every thread with a reply that just says RTFM.

TLDR: You actually converted one user into someone who reads and loves the documentation. Hope that counts for something!

[mattrixk]

@Swagman89 RTFM = Read The Fudging Manual?

[Swagman89]

@mattrixk Indeed hahaha

[herb_fargus]

@Swagman89 glad to hear at least it's working for one person!

@lilbud now that is some of the best classic rock there. Creedance Clearwater Revival and Queen are my personal favorite rock groups. Its truly a shame the freddy mercury died too young. Love the pic.

[lilbud]

@edmaul69 Would have loved to see Queen at Live Aid, but I am seeing Queen + Adam Lambert in concert, as well as Boston and Joan Jett

I also got to see Bruce Springsteen twice last year.
