Ace,
I just finished the entire thread - all 22 pages of it and honestly, I was hoping for a better ending. I first started reading about the Captcha problems by about page 5 - how expensive it was to run as it just ate up captchas. I saw MANY requests for an OCR solution - and you even said you were working on something that was going to drastically reduce the number of captchas required - and that it would be out soon. That was over 5 months ago.
There were also requests for more sites to be added and you even claimed to be training 2 sub-developers to handle adding sites - that was 4+ months ago.
You put out a lengthy "it's gonna be great" post and said that the price was going to be higher, so people better jump in now (early Feb) to get in on the new price - but you IGNORED the requests for more details as to WHAT is going to be so great. What are the planned new features? What is going to make it so great? How many sites will be included, will it fix the captcha problem, will it give a percentage of accomplishment of each link wheel as it's being built? How about some answers???
Oh... and one question that has been asked repeatedly and ignored is why the software even eats as many captchas as it does. As one person wrote (and repeated) - why does the software need 4000 captchas to add just 20 sites? - I mean, do the math - that's 20 captchas for each site! Why the excess?
Then just a few weeks ago you mention that you stopped development so that you could add more sites - and brought it up to 19, 'with another 5-10 by the end of the month'. (which ended up being 2 more) And you are running behind on the new update - again. What happened to the 2 sub-devs that you trained?
Overall - I'd love to hear what the new features that would compell me (and the others that read this thread) to join now, before the price increase (or continue their subscription - I'm sure you have read the posts of the people dropping away - or noticed the cancelled paypal subs?)
