Updates
Hi
Is Zeke still alive? I've looked around the forums and can't find anything other than there was an update planned in may sometime. Does anyone know whether there's likely to be updates or if Zeke has given up on the site. I'm hoping he hasn't as before this break i'd been reading FMV for a few years, but if it's not then at least i can stop checking back all the time. Thanks

We don't know. He occasionally posts something in his LiveJournal, and even more occasionally he posts here, but otherwise...
It's not dead, we hope.

You registered on the boards just to complain? Sheesh.
Be glad I deleted the full treatise I wrote about why people shouldn't poke at this issue with sticks all the time. I'll just ask again. Please don't poke at this issue with sticks all the time. Rechannel your energy into becoming independently wealthy so you can pay the staff to update.

Nate, when we're at the stage where long-time lurkers are registering on the boards in the hope of finding out whether the site is really dead or not due to the lack of... anything, for the last half a year, then I don't think 'don't poke it with a stick' really works any more.
There's an elephant in the room, people! A freaking elephant! And it's a dead one, at that!

PHJ, I've earned the wrath of the Big Z before (very VERY deservedly) and I can tell you: You wouldn't like it. I'd rather not have anyone have to go through it.
That being said, you are free to harass Zeke all you like. We can always use a scapegoat for when he blows his top. We can write on your tombstone: "PointyHairedJedi: It's his fault FiveMinute.net died."  Of course, we can have stuff happen around here without regular updates. How about my audiofiver project, for example? Nudge nudge.

Zeke, I do understand, I really do. It's just that the stench of the elephant corpse was starting to get to me a little, which I'm sure you equally understand. It is something to know, though, that the idea of this place is still alive, and that we aren't just flies buzzing around said elephant corpse (I'm belabouring this analogy somewhat, I know). It makes a difference, and I'm very glad to hear it.

I'm not dead, nor is 5M.net. And I don't wrack myself with guilt over online stuff anymore, but I admit that I've been hiding out. In the last month or so I haven't even been reading the forums -- too afraid that when I finally did, I would find a bunch of "screw this, I'm leaving" posts.
I intend to get the site moving again. My reason for not doing so, at least lately, is that I need to be working on my Master's thesis. That's absolutely true, but the days when the site was a distraction from work are long past. I'm fighting the same inertia when I try to work on anything, online or off. It's just so much easier to queue up some more anime or play some more games. So for once, updating the site may actually help me with school work, as it's the same mental muscles I need to start using again. At any rate, I'm on IM more these days for reasons soon to be chronicled in my LJ. Even that was starting to feel like work, so it's a start. But if you want updates, then first and foremost, pray/wish for me to finish the thesis. That's by far my highest priority right now, and time is running out.

Sorry, that wasn't meant as a complaint, i just wasn't sure if i'd missed something saying what was going on. I completely understand that you just haven't got round to it and i'm happy to just keep checking every so often. It just would just have been pointless to do that if there had been a message saying that there would be no more updates. Thanks for the quick response though.

Don't worry, I wasn't asking for an apology. In your place, I would probably have posted a thread like this months ago.
