Very sad, but apparently also very true.
I have been waiting patiently

Not interested in another version of Traveller.
I suppose I have enough Traveller stuff, but I already paid for this.

OK. I can live with that. How would you describe it?

The site works and it's active, despite claims by some that it's dead it seems (according to the statistics) to be as active or more than the others. It's not as active or functional as it used to be which is a shame but it's been that way for going on two years now and it's not exactly news to anyone who looks.
I do feel for your case, and others, and I'm disappointed as well, but I still find this site the best of the lot even in it's current state. I'm too much the realist to expect it will get back on an even keel, but I'm enough of an optimist to hope it might.
I'd rather not comment on the other comment anymore than I have. And (pre-emptive edit
) well, yeah, I'd better to shut up there.BetterThanLife

Only if you have the rules so you know what you are converting from. Not going to happen.
A topic that will get the thread locked..
Such discussions are of no positive value to the community as a whole, and create much discontent. Hold them off-site, if you must.

Fine, back on topic.
I have a TA subscription. I have had it for over four years now. The original deal was approximately one TA per month. I picked up the last Traveller's Aide on 12 June 2004. The subscription also includes Epic Adventures. (Added when the goal of 1 TA per month couldn't be met.) The last EA published was 2 June 2005. Up until Revelation Station was published on the 6th of March 2008 there has been absolutely NOTHING to use my two remaining issues for my subscription on. Further Revelation Station is not in any way up to the TA standards in quality or amount of content useful for a campaign. It isn't up to EA standards either. However I did use one of my remaining issues on it. That still leaves me with an issue on my subscription and nothing new in over 6 months and nothing of the quality I expected in 3 and a half years.
I understand you want roses and sunshine but I want what I paid for.
Since this is Hunter's forums and this section of the forums is to discuss TA's and EA's or in this case lack of them. That is what I want to discuss. How do you recommend we do it, since you think this type of discussion is not good for the forums?

I think you misunderstood, it's another matter entirely that shouldn't be opened up here. There's nothing wrong with your asking what's happening or if anything will with the TAs/EAs. And there's nothing wrong with saying you're disappointed in what's been offered either. I'm not sure what you want, only that nobody here at the moment can deliver it whatever it is. Except sympathy. Hunter is the only one who can make any product or other compensation and while he's been around it appears to be only briefly and sporadically.
There was a point some time back, years as I recall, when the subscriptions were changed and a refund on unused parts was offered. I guess you missed that but I'm pretty sure Hunter would still do that, if he saw your desire for such in these posts.

I do have the Solomani TA ready but it needs artwork.

I submitted several ideas years ago, but got ignored so I never went past outlines.
I no longer have lots of time to dedicate to writing one of these. While I can probably do artwork, I have other 3D graphics projects that pay better that must take precedence and, again, not enough time for spec work.
Besides I have watched multiple projects get submitted, disappear only to resurface elsewhere. The Robot TA comes immediately to mind and the third installment of the Golden Age EA series or the Military weapons TA (promised in TA1) are still no where to be seen.

Yup, I had a TA that I was working on about a year ago. It was one that was requested by Hunter. By request, I submitted snippets for comment. Never got any.
I felt like I tried, but after months of no responses to emails, I moved on. I'm thinking that I'm not the only person this happened to. It was certainly discouraging.
