on the part of the manager, of course we should take it seriously, you had an escrowed bounty to run, many users are waiting to get paid, lot's of users are depending on you, you cannot mistakenly asses each users, and the fact that icos paid for your service, as for the users who joined the bounty, once you have started to work, you cannot stop, you didnt want to waste your time posting and not getting paid are you?
