Guys I can only tell you what I know, which is that although I haven't had a response from him on here or via email for nearly 2 weeks, he's booked ongoing advertising and sponsorship deals well into the future, which would seem to suggest that HYPER is viewed very much as a long-term project.  As aboody94 says I think it's a case of real-life taking over for a while (it happens to all of us now and then!) - just hope it's nothing too bad / serious.
