Fact is, the dev's activity has been regular as his profile shows, tho his communication has not. I believe that's what the community is after... regular communication. I know how hard RL can be, heck i have a wife and 2 kids to feed/raise and a labouring job that takes 12hrs out of my day 6 days a week. Add to that i host a couple of sites for friends as a hobby and provide a couple services for another coin at the same time which requires some maint on my behalf tho i still manage to take a few minutes out of my busy day to say "hi" to the community and my friends online.

Proactivity is healthy, silence is a killer.
