Apart from their association with Doubleclick, Paypal is an excellent service. If you get one of their "football" devices for one-time passwords, it's about the most secure service out there.

I just have doubleclick (and about 500 other "spy" and "evil" sites) disabled with my hosts file. If you don't know what that is, you can learn more at http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm

I hope we don't use PayPal... I had a fallout financially with PayPal and now they refuse to even honor an anonymous purchase from my bank card (which is perfectly fine) because the billing address matches the one for my old line of credit.

Maybe I am reading this wrong but if your billing info is incorrect, doesn't it makes perfect sense that they refuse the payment?

Hey, Chogon - I happened to notice that you're online at the moment. Will you be providing any status for September today?

Apparently not, but we could use it.

According to my theory about Doom and Gloom (DAG*) posts, it shouldn't be long before the next update.

This was posted earlier today:

I hope things are going smooth at Cyan Worlds, many problems may mean doom for MOUL [sic].

I must say, there is rarely an unintentional post which fits my theory so literally.

I think we should get an update because I'm getting restless!

Seriously, remember that big long time we didn't hear anything. Some people, optimistically said, "nothign wrong, it's all good", or something like that. Some of us had our doubts. Then, those of us who had our doubts were right - MOUL was cancelled.

Not that I think that MORE is going to be cancelled, but I think it's time for an update - where they are and when they think it's going to go live.

Transparency will be good for us all. If anything I find that some of my best ideas come from explaining my stuff to others.

Once upon a time, people said "no news is good news". But that was proven wrong. Twice.

It's time for an update, even just a little one. Please?

(PS: I would also like to hear a bit about how "CyanTest" is going. It may be THE thing that will keep Cyan Worlds alive until MOUL is up, and unfortunetly, maybe even after. Is it working? did Cyan Worlds' situation got a little bit better, if any?).

Ignorance is a passage of emotions. The psychology of expectations is knowing when they shift. An update about now would be good.

The "Please Sir" topic was moved. Apparently, and perhaps even appropriately, begging for MORE status is Off Topc.

Sorry, I am ambivalent about MORE, but not so about the "Other projects" that Chogon mentioned in his original post that started this thread. Especially the epics mentioned and any details of the project statuses that could be revealed, even in general terms. Such as current outlooks on funding and so forth.
