There are 529 pages in this thread, making a new one would be a big loss.
They should open the thread by themselves at first place to avoid things like that.
open a new thread after more than 500 pages would make little sense, they had to open the thread with an account in their possession, waiting for some news here on the forum...
I guess they are not focusing on forum promotion any more but i hope they are at least focused on private investors and product development.
