Is there really work going on behind the scenes here? Why is it taking so long to effect any changes? Why no updates in such a long time? Wish I could help. Abandonia had a lot of momentum before the new format.

Well, first they don't seem to care... Second, if I understand well what "Studentis" group is then they probably don't even work in the holydays...

First, they put AB on the slowest server, so pages wouldn.t load and downloads took forever.

Now they leave us with a buggy fourum that doesn't work properly.

Why was power ever given to people who clearly don't give a toss about the site? :confused:

[Geezer]

So, according to Wikipedia this Studentis group owns Abandonia now. When I first heard the name I assumed it was a bunch of students doing this as a school project. That would have explained some things.

The problem is, most things are done by Studentis, but some have to be done by Kosta (who's our only contact with the Studentis team) or Maikel (who is still in charge of the layout). Go figure what this means if one of them is inaccessible for some reason...

I work on abandonia to aside from a 40 hour work week. Things tend to get slower

I think the above quote explains some of the rest.

But the way things are now I doubt they do any work because ever since the new design was put up nothing was fixed. The only things that were fixed were forum issues that were resolvable without the support from Studentis.

That's completely true, and it pisses me off more than you can imagine... but there's not one bloody thing I - or any of us - can do about it.

[Scatty]

Well all we can do now anyway is to persevere and offer help in whatever areas we can offer it, waiting until the situation with the site will improve for the better. If we care for the site and the forum, it won't do either of them any good with leaving or throwing insults towards current site layout.
Things can get only better anyway, I think the site has already seen worse times than this. Think of ESA's unexpected intervention back in 2006 or something, and removal of at least 200 games from the site which appeared like a crisis back then, but actually brought the site into even more shining position than it was before that.

[Geezer]

As long as there are plans to go forward with the site and not leave it for dead I can be patient. I am going to stop putting together any more contributions until I feel more comfortable that they will ever see the light of day.

If anyone wants to issue any positive encouragement to Studentis here is their published email address. Long live Abandonia.

I hate this situation like all of you...and like many other I'm doing the best I can to help.
I don't think it's a good idea to start a mail crusade.
If we want to do a good thing we should continue to report all problems here on our forum and then ask them, with few mails made by Admins, if they can do something.
