I think we're wasting our energy here. The decision has been made and won't be reversed. I think the beta lasted much longer than WIS expected, due to the obvious mess it was a few months ago. They want to launch it while the CFB season is in full gear to generate interest, which I don't blame them.
Also, Oriole seems very confident that he'll have it in a good spot, and admittedly, it is playing much better. I expect there'll be some bugs, which is fine, as long as they are minor and are corrected quickly. I advise patience and give Oriole the benefit of the doubt here. I was a pretty harsh critic of his and was disappointed by the lack of progress and lack of communication a few months ago. But, recently, I've been impressed that he has stepped up in this area and has had great attitude despite some pretty harsh critics
Let's trust the guy to deliver the goods.
