Why create a new thread when you have an old thread that is nether locked nor deleted?
And whats up with all the newbies rushing to make positive comments on the first page of this thread, I am not clear what the motive behind this thread but just know that you are not doing it right by creating multiple threads
Maybe the are possibly chillers or team members that decided to come hyped their own personal projects and I see them very dangerous. At first when I look at the account activities and copper membership rank Immediately I sense something phishing is likely going on, and if they already had an Ann thread before I do not see any reason to violate rules while they should used their old and existing threads to make their announcement. Though it could be that their announcement thread was deleted either due to some violations.
If that is the case here, then the ops are just wasting his time and money if you as a forum member and project owner decide to employ the services of a chiller just to hype your project, it's a lowlife way things and cowardice to act like that instead to face building the project and its reputation through hard works a.d proper marketing.
Ops also mentioned somewhere that they have intentions of running a marketing program and promoting Herr in the forum, but the way and manners they are approaching the whole thing make them look unserious here right now.
From what I read above it shows that they have requested for mod to lock their previous thread which I think is not right to lock the already existing threads and focus here. But even if they must lock that previous thread it's always advisable to go make official announcements then Link this new thread from the old thread for people to know what is happening to their announcement thread.
