Was under the impression that people couldn't imply/post that they're part of a very specific part of the forum userbase...

Exactly, let the speculation go away. The issue at hand is what's important and how dan has again abandoned the forums and ignored everyone's requests. I seen a very handy thread about what the player base wants and yet not so much as a peep out of him.
And i reference my place on the leaderboards because its fair to say that those on the leaderboard would have more experience with this issue.

Aren't you banned?

Someone remembered

How about we focus on the fact that dan isnt here and is again not doing his job, be it full or part time, he would much rather just release content and not work on fixes for issues that have been only been building up.
