Are we at some point just going to get a "it's not happening" or something? It's been years since this started, and i've completely lost hope.
I honestly just want some closure as to "it's over, negotiations didnt work", leaving it open as "who knows whats happening" kinda feels like a slap in the face.
There have been no indicators, no solid information, and certainly no direct word from any of the principals involved. The only thing we do have to use as a basis for any conjecture, is the time that has elapsed. Anyone with an ounce of sanity, would have tossed in the towel, and given up. However, the fact that a few are still here, continuing to read this thread, would give the impression that we still have some shred of hope that something will happen, or are looking for confirmation that it won't. We have no reason to do so, other than our love for the game, and our desire to have answers, even if they are not the ones we wanted to hear.
Bottom line, we still don't KNOW anything. Yet, the faithful keep coming back to check, and probably will until there is confirmation one way, or the other. Our numbers dwindle as time passes, which is no surprise. Anyone here has only hope (slim though it might be), and a modicum of faith, that something will happen. The very definition of faith is a belief that requires no empirical proof, and ones faith in anything can be stretched to the breaking point. Once faith is gone, hope tends to follow quickly, and so it goes.
I chose some time ago to maintain the vigil, until it ends. That would mean we have confirmation of something good happening, or vise-versa. Either of those possibilities would determine what I do from there. The only other thing that would keep me away, is this site becoming unavailable. So, the vigil goes on.
