well I have to say given what ive read so far, that isnt entirely true, the team gets paid via donations so to speak, perhaps not regularly and so forth but money changing hands is infact money changing hands.
I dont think that threatening to ban people for voicing thier displeasure about the LS issues is helpfull persoonally, I mean the posts about getting a new ls and so forth have been up since i joined days ago. So far the only people who have actually listened to the community are devnoob and image, they took the time to not only get a seperate public ls up but also revamped minilogin to utilize username and password authentication which is something so many have asked for, sure its limited on the number of accounts at present but it is progress none the less.
I agree that the current LS issues are intolerable, it should never have been allowed to get to the point it is at, nor should the community be so dependant on only ONE Ls. Posts have been made about keeping a captive audience and that is precisly what is going on. Noone will release a public LS in any form either source or precompiled binaries, because as i understand what ive read so far the staff are terrified of fork projects being made and it killing the project, but i submit this question, is the current LS Setup not already killing the community BECAUSE there is no cahnce of redunancy? People will leave simply because its never up, and yeah while there are posts that state a new one is being procured and so on and so forth there is no telling when the project and community will be in the same boat.
I understand that the devs of the LS dont want the source released... Fine great not a problem... distribute binaries or something so this kind of thing NEVER happpens again
