Comment on What is going on with Kbin

Best of luck to Ernest, but whatever is going on in his life as long as kbin depends on him entirely it seems like kbin will never take off. The second kbin skyrocketed he should have worked on spreading out responsibility with like minded devs.

He did though. And honestly the website has come very far in a short period of time, I really don't understand the concerns and whining in this thread...

That's great, assuming they're all contributing. If that's the case however, I can only assume it's being done behind the scenes, essentially deviating from the open source nature of the project

Why do you assume that? Why is your way of open source the right way?
All open source projects are run by a small team of people reviewing and accepting, rejecting, and prioritizing work. What part of this project's methodology bothers you?

Please prove me wrong, but I am interpreting this as a confirmation of my feeling that development is currently ongoing in the background.
Open source and maintained in an obscure location do not go well together in one sentence. Perhaps if it had been like this all along from the start, so people knew what they were getting into. Taking OSS development offline whenever it suits one person, without any form of announcement let alone an explanation to the community, would bother me
