      @pjft Yeah, almost every single person who worked on ES disappeared after starting anything big.

      Aloshi - Created ES, life got in the way and gave him no time to work on ES

      Jacobfk20 - Started Grid view addon - Unknown Origins

      Koerty - Worked on gridview - Real life got in the way

      I got a theory puts on tin foil hat They start changing ES and then life stops them. Or it it something else?

        @lilbud I mean, there's also black robes, a blood oath, and sworn secrecy involved, but we usually don't discuss those in public.

        It's probably best if you believe that "real life gets in the way", and leave it at that.

          Yeah, what happened to him? Hasn't posted in 3 months (which is alot in Retropie time.)

          The only people who have successfully completed an ES addon or addition is You, Zigurana, and maybe Tomaz on the github*.

          *He has been adding many lesser wanted features like CEC support to ES.

            @lilbud yeah, thankfully there has been a steady stream of people willing to contribute to ES - jrassa and Hex also come to mind, and Tomas has been pretty much on fire these past several weeks, doing a lot of backstage improvements.

              Hello fellas. I had more on my plate IRL than I could handle a few months back and had to put all extracurriculars aside for a bit. Tied in with all the chaos was the sudden go-ahead to develop a comedy/horror show that I've been trying to get off the ground for a few years.

              Like a certain time-traveling Doctor, I'm beginning to regenerate, albeit without the added complications of gender reassignment. The lack of equal pay and an under-representation in government are total deal-breakers. However, as I start to find some time freeing up, I'm looking forward to getting back into retro-gaming and helping out around here again.

                Are you saying what I think you are saying? Or are you making a stupid Who joke?

                    @mediamogul yeah it can, just thought you were making a joke for a Doctor Who reference about the new doctor.

                      @mediamogul good to hear! Glad to have you back, I was worried for a bit. Best of luck with real life stuff, and do so by every now and then :)

                        Thank you kindly, sir. The warm welcome means a lot, but there's no need to worry. I'm still somewhat swamped until after the holidays, but I do plan on keeping a tab open here to help out with the most recent round of spammers. Those guys are relentless.
