Hate to say it, but from the start I didn't have much hope for this, would have been nice to see and I'd still love to see it but the fact Ben came and advertised it when it wasn't working was a red flag to me and now its been almost 2 months with next to nothing said from Ben himself.
I get that this is a side project and he most likely doesn't have a ton of free time to work on it and maybe one day it will work, but I feel like going around posting about it could have waited till it worked or he had time to try get it working ASAP.
I mean he came here and Last Resort boards and posted and then seemingly vanished and we've only had the odd updates from Conalflood.
Lets hope I'm just being super negative and it turns out SWAT is posing more of a challenge than initially thought and its still being worked on even if we aren't getting any updates on the matter.
I don't think you are being too negative. When the NeuWon website isn't offline (is he hosting it on a home server?) there never seems to be any activity. No updates. Barely any forums posts. No sign of life.
Sadly NeuWON is dead. The guy ran off and took it all with him. Ridiculous cause SJ had just gotten around to integrating it into Last Resort. It worked pretty well and was way better than crappy Tungle or Hamachi. It was just like the glory days again. :(
Sadly the guy refused to pass his work onto anyone else/ nor even so much as release the server software as freeware. So now someone will have to do it all over again - if that ever happens at all.
Also the fact that the guy had leaked Sierra code. makes me think someone may have sent the greedy lawyers after him...causing him to go dark.
