My first post here and certainly my last.
I'll start by stating that this thread has two major issues - 1. Without an active, available jailbreak, it's existence is very much irrelevant as there's really no reason for anyone to post anything about a non-existent jailbreak. There have been numerous complaints now from long-term subscribers about incessant notifications for mundane and downright silly posts. My understanding was that this is a thread delivering news about the iPad 2 jailbreak, stands to reason therefore that if you do not have news, you should not be posting. End of irrelevant, incessant notifications.
2. There seems to have been fostered an inability for forum members to express any sort of negativity about the jailbreak process that has surrounded the iPad 2 through the immediate criticism of fellow members and warnings from the mods. Surely a 'forum' is just that - a medium through which people can express opinion? I'm sure I'm not alone in my opinion that the handling of the iPad 2 jailbreak by those parties involved has bordered on the absurd. I appreciate that these 'hackers' (of course, people who posses knowledge far exceeding that of my own in this area) have taken it upon themselves, without any form of direct financial remuneration, to supply us with a jailbreak but surely there are ways of actively informing the masses of the progress more effectively than sporadic tweets regarding technical jargon that most really couldn't care less about. Those involved have made a complete mockery of ETAs to the point where they have undermined the very belief in the existence of the jailbreak they claim to posses. It is glaringly ironic that the current jailbreak we're focusing on has apparently been delayed because of bugs in a process to make the jailbreak quicker. Surely that defines counter-productivity?
The vast majority of people who would actively consider jailbreaking an iPad 2 already own one and have been waiting for said jailbreak since launch. Release the damn thing already, in whatever form it takes, be it slow or fast. No-one cares.
PS, please put an end to the ass-licking 'I don't care how long it takes/I'll certainly be donating whenever it appears' comments. Cringeworthy stuff.
Cheers.
