While i agree on the fact that Defkalion somehow did what what they said they would do (allowing independent testing), meanwhile where are the tests protocols (maybe i missed something) ?
I believe they're sending mixed signals by closing the forum. I can totally understand the fact they want to work in peace, but public relations is an important part of any business these days (i know they want to license the technology, so maybe they think they don't need it anymore). Shutting down the line won't make the message go away, it will reroute. More moderation would probably do the job while keeping the line open. Now, I am waiting as everyone else to see some testing data released, of course Defkalion can't publish them because everyone would claim they are forged, and the tester has no obligation to do so, so this can take a while. Looking at the dark side (what i'm going to write is pure speculation on my part and should be seen as science-fiction ) : Since Siros and falkonide broke up, falkonide always seemed to try to keep the line open with Siros , while Siros clearly stated he was over with it. Anyway since the testing phase started, i noticed more messages popping around suggesting that falkonide stole from Siros , whether this is true or not is irrelevant. What is important is that on the internet, stories spreads at the speed of light. Maybe someone has an insight on what is going on at falkonide , i don't, but if i was them, i would know that these rumors are bad for business and even worst if you're are trying to attract potential licensees and investors (Who wants to be sued ?). The best way to avoid discussing those subjects was to close the forum. This question would have popped up like a grasshopper without bringing more information. Not much of a choice or a distraction, just business as usual. I should ask seti if they have some infos, they say they've got plenty of data to analyse at http://www.setilive.org/ ;) >________________________________ > From: Jouni Valkonen <...> >To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> >Sent: Friday, March 2, 2012 9:09 AM >Subject: Re: [Vo]:Defkalion Forum Closed > > >I think that Defkalion has now reached the point where chattering in Internet >chat room is no longer relevant, because they can let the raw data to speak >for them.
