The server is online and he cant give an ETA as he has to test and rewrite code, if you bothered to read the thread you would see that this is being worked on and it will be ready when its ready.
If an ETA is provided you would be kicking and screaming if the severs were not online at the specified time, i would rather the software be ready for the new servers and for it to be deployed correctly and working than have a bodge job done on it.
with regards to the silence, so far the only time Terk hasnt been replying is because he's been getting some sleep, this is a basic human need that everyone needs.
