@ cleancutkid,
Although i am holder of xspec and i still believe in the project, i must say i am impressed by youre post here.
I probably couldt not have done a better job.
I invite you to take a look here
https://kingofshitcoins.wixsite.com/kingofshitcoinsmaybe to youre liking , it takes a piss at the whole thing.(in a satire kind of way)
But i like to say the direction xspec is taking now under leadership of Mandica is better then before.
The community is better informed about progress and they use real people and no imagenary friends are invited.
XSPEC has a lot of shit to shake off itself and we will see what the future will bring.
Trust has to be gained (back) and this will take time, please give this project some time to recover.
If after a couple of months there`s no noticable progress i myself will join you and others to burn it to the ground.
Till then, give it some time there`s new (real) people involved and the will is there to make this project rise from the ashes.
Thanx for youre post i had a good laugh, hope if you check the website above you will have too.
And remember its as Gandalf said satire
