I really dont think its an unprecedented silence. The admins, developers and DPR are pedal to the metal 24/7. Just because you don't hear from him after every bug does not mean he's not working on it. I've asked him to make a statement soon, so I'm sure he will. But his number 1 concern is security. Take a look over in the bounty section, hes always asking for volunteers to test his security. Ive said it before, but this site will be returned to its former glory. It just will take time. Please bare with us
