You also said "I think that mods and helpers should get more, such as the ability to access information on projects and future updates," by that logic you're saying that @inexxer being a helper doesn't have the information either way.

That topic has been resolved already on the thread and there is no need to bring it back.
Hi there, unfortunately I could give a time but it'd be leaking staff chat, which isn't allowed. I felt, however, that it would be beneficial for people who take your post seriously to know that it is factually incorrect. I am sorry that you felt that way about my post; because you said that helpers and moderators "deserve to see more" (when, in reality, they are privy to much more than you think), you actually have made unsubstantiated claims without proof recently (this one being the implication that many pieces of information were hidden from them) so it was important for the community to know that your post is untrue. Thank you, and have a nice evening.
Thank you for informing me in a civil manner.
Now, onto where I got my sources:
"They are working on restarting the towny server." -> Yes this is true and it has been mentioned everywhere. Every piece of towny data has been deleted.

"They have made new plugins, implemented them"-> This includes Jobs and Mcmmo.

"[They] are fixing bugs and accepting suggestions."-> Now I somehow can't get a source for this but if you ask any staff member what you can do to help, they'll say: "make suggestions!" And, many bug reports/suggestions have been accepted/denied/completed, meaning that they are doing the work.
"It'll be a while before it comes out."-> Now this is reworded a bit, but it still is basically the same idea.

If it isn't true, it isn't information. He's telling you it isn't true since you most likely made it up and didn't actually hear it from an actual staff member.

Now this is just plain rude. Where did you get the information that I made everything up? How about if you have nothing else to add, you don't. I don't mean to be negative or disrespectful, but I am concerned that your post is not helping anything in this thread. I don't mean to start a debate as it is pointless.
If the staff have changed their mind on something, then they can message me so that I take back the information, but as I currently am not supplied with any more information that contradict the above, I will not take back what I said.
Thank you for being careful and thoughtful members of the community. I am aware of the possible dangers that misinformation can bring and I am doing my best to keep myself and the community informed as accurately as possible.
