That system simply does not work, its what we've tried for years (trust me, I've been here for many of them.) What happens is you guys don't get the updates for much longer than anticipated. Things were pushed off one, two three weeks. I know one project that was pushed back for two whole months before it was done, and support took months and months to implement.Quote:

Its not that forum management was bad or lazy in the past, but they were volunteers and they set their own deadlines. Here with our self imposed deadlines, it still requires dedication on the part of the staff, like lAscend has, but since they stick to the deadlines things actually get done.
