    @Kiri Sorry about that



    This was not like before I completely forgot about everything here… Sorry about that.


    I forgive you both (^^) I only have to make a couple minor changes and run the debugger again and I know you're both busy with other projects.

    @Sporadic People were told what the plan was, that shouldn’t have been a reason otherwise. Besides not much point going over this now anyway, what is done is done.



    And clearly 365 images was too much. No offense, but you did start this thread over 6 months ago. No reason to place blame on anyone else because its incomplete, you had ample time to finish your own project yourself. But you're right, no reason going over it again, maybe next time it'll only take 5 months to complete :p

    Don't place the blame on him. Those that volunteered to make seven images had six months to make them. Obviously this would be higher if they decided to take on more weeks. I even made a template PSD to make it even easier. I know it would only take, at most, 5 minutes to make each image, and that's including the time to wait for Ps to open. I know of several members that were able to do several weeks in a couple of hours. My two weeks only took me thirty minutes to make with the template I made. And calling this his project is far from an understatement. This project is for the community, by the community. The only people that are to blame for the delay of this project are the volunteers that didn't commit and left Joshier "holding the bag". Oh, and a note for those that may say they didn't have the time. I'm taking 12 credits for school, with an over 2 hour commute round trip, homework for said classes, having a plethora of chores to do when I get home, anime/TV shows to watch, moderate this forum and admin a group, spent time with my family, and I still had plenty of time to make 14 week images and write up the code for the rainmeter skin from scratch. I've said my 2¢. Any changes Joshier wishes to implement is up to him since he's the founder of this community project.

    @Sporadic
    @Hikikomori

    By all means part of it was my fault but it was made as a community project. Things didn't go to plan and therefore we just have to make do. As I said to BK and Kiri before, this year was also a way of testing our limitations, we now know we can do more than the previous year but not as much as we wanted this year.

    Everything is a learning experience =^_^=

    I think it's safe to say after 4 months of incomplete work you move on without them. Not wait an additional 2 months so we're into 2014 and still no completion. I never said I was unappreciative of his work, I'm simply stating that if it's not organized properly you can't go placing blame on everyone else, which you both are doing. This is your guys project for the community since you two are spearheading it, you have to assume you're doing everything yourself. Especially when a half a year goes by and there's still 29 weeks left unfinished.

    If it was some kind of important job as apposed to a side project, sure, but doing it all ourselves defeats the purpose of the community part. As I said before, it is all a learning experience and we just need to adapt as we learn new things. It doesn't matter who is to blame and who's fault it is, at the end of the day this was just for fun. There was no need for you to criticize it, resulting in this rather pointless back and fourth. Can we just end this here and carry on with our lives please? If you want to blame me for it, go ahead, I am not that fussed. In the end this Calendar will be done one way or another.

    Actually, my original comment wasn't criticizing you at all. Once you said you were doing one image per week I said it would have been more reasonable.

    Then you followed with
    Had everyone who originally volunteered for a week completed it, would have been done


    Which is what started the back and forth of passing the blame to other people. I've already reiterated my point numerous times, if it's still not getting through it never will. Keep up the good work on the calendar, I look forward to it :)
