Aqua-Soft ForumsWhat ever happened to Jade_Lee's big ideas for a .mac type app? Did it ever get started? Finished? I ran a search, but couldn't find the thread... Does anyone know?
Jade_lee's Project?
Don't have a clue - Jade_Lee seems to appear and disappear, and the whole .mac thing is completely gone from the forums, so I'd guess that it's dead...
Oh, and Jade_Lee's domain name (http://www.zeamail.com/) doesn't seem to respond to anything anymore...
The Devil's Dictionary:
HOPE
n. Desire and expectation rolled into one. ^ Delicious Hope! when naught to man it left -- Of fortune destitute, of friends bereft; When even his dog deserts him, and his goat With tranquil disaffection chews his coat While yet it hangs upon his back; then thou, The star far-flaming on thine angel brow, Descendest, radiant, from the skies to hint The promise of a clerkship in the Mint. Fogarty Weffing $
Goddamn I don't have a clue what's this about but it's perfect <_<
#1 Major Problem with this community.
They get all hyped over a community project, but not 1 has been completed. Dies after a week.
People in the customizing scene get bored too quick.

Exactly, Tim...
And most of the boredom comes from the fact that people get overzealous and shout about things that they can't really deliver...
Why d'you think I always keep my projects close to my chest until shortly before I release them?
It's because that way, I can make sure that the project is what I want it to be, and I don't get bored of the incessant nagging for releases et al.
yeah, if anyone knows about disappointment, its Steve.
Damn DHSMaroon13, you're still here, and I thought all along that you left.

Not true, Jade-lees prject lasted like 3 weeks.
I think he's referring to the Finder project, that got kind of borked.
Its a shame really, I was gonna be a beta tester. 
Thats my perfect job: People asking me to complain!

If only you could get paid, you would be set for life.
if someone paid me to make stupid, off topic posts id be the richest person here.
it would've been good... maybe in a near future someone will bring PC users a .mac equivalent service for windows...
.mac works with Windows.
Its every community project.
You guys need to start something and stick with it, do not hitch a ride on the trend-whore chooooo choooooooooooooooo train..... :banging:
Oh c'mon Tim, you've been known to ride the trend-whore now and again. 
Should we give an award for the biggest flop:
AQUASOURCE! (anyone remember that?)

Is that sarcasm...?
From the mac.com FAQ:
Q: Is .Mac available to Microsoft Windows users?
Customers cannot sign up for a .Mac trial account using a Windows machine, but they can sign up for a full .Mac membership. iDisk, .Mac Mail, Address Book, Bookmarks, iCards, and Support can be used on a Windows machine.
I remember a while ago though, people were hacking mozilla firebird to make Apple think it was Safari. What a waste, huh?
That's very odd.. I never noticed that. You aren't all foul, fire-laced comments are you Contra?

I never ride the trend-whore train. I might clear the tracks for it but never ride it. :6
