I agree. Trust me, I didn't want to post this. But, people are asking about it, and I really have no choice but to let people know what's going on. It was ambitious, and he did joke about how he had underestimated it. I do hope that he returns, because I've had a couple of people mention that they would be interested in helping him complete it. Also, he's a good guy. I really feel bad about this whole thing.I'd guess he's just avoiding you and the site out of guilt or anxiety. Seeing this post isn't likely to help matters.
I imagine if that conversation had been had in person it would have been accompanied with nervous laughter. I agree with minimum_wage. Sounds like he bit off more than he can chew and now he's nervous about the money side of things. There's skin in the game now and he probably feels morally obligated to deliver. If it's just a kick-around project then there's no real concern about it tailing off and scrapping it, but the money is a game changer. Hopefully he reaches out and discusses concerns.he did joke about how he had underestimated it
