As said before I really hope Slaven will make an announcement of what has been going on lately.
Until such announcement is made, I suggest you to put your purchase on hold.
For now I don't have a clue about the future of Poco Systems. Is it abandoned or still in active development?
It's however not good to let customers in the cold.
I really would appreciate an answer from Slaven, whether good or bad.
I see it all the time and I agree fully with your statement.I realize that maybe you do not have the answers, but with long time members (see the post in General section) now bailing ship, it seems to me that current owners deserve some sort of announcement (one way or another), either on the Pocosystems web site or even via PM here.
While we may have access to Poco Systems, that doesn't mean we have inside information.Hopefully something will be forthcoming and while it is not your responsibility, you and the others mods are about the only indication that there is any activity and are in fact the front line to access to the developer(s).
Course this is only my opinion and is FWIW.
We tested alpha's and beta's, but we never received more information about future plans.
I'm sure Robin will agree with me on that.
If by the end of this month no announcement is made, I will send an email to Slaven to ask about what's going on.
It's simply not done to current owners, members and nor to us moderators.![]()
I've spend a lot of time on this forum and will continue to do in the future, if there's one.![]()
The least we can expect is an announcement and by that I don't mean promises, but in fact to the point.
I'm tired, saddened of reading all those negative topics and members bailing ship.
I'll keep you all informed about any response I may receive from Slaven, but I would prefer he would do it himself.
For now I'm quite busy at work and at home.
Good night to you all.
Thanks Eric for the informative reply. I agree with everything you said. To clarify - my position is based on one of need. I am not going to abandon my current email client (Pocomail) as it does everything I need it to do. From what I can see a lot (not all but a good number) feel the same way.
Hopefully you have also read the comments in the forum that have been very (and rightfully so) complimentary of the tremendous support and effort that all of the moderators have done.
Would be appreciated if when you hear something (either way) that you update us here. I know it is not your place to do so, so hopefully Slaven will put up some sort of notification himself.
I am still interested in purchasing Barca, but will hold off until further information is forthcoming.
Thanks again.
Gord
