Moment of silence...

I won't be posting anything else until 1.0 drops. A small moment of silence for the past... :)

Post below if you want to as well!

See you on the other side.

I probably won't be posting on the Forum any time soon (except to update the Oscar-B awards).

I'm predicting that people trying to download from the main site will crash everything for about an hour. There'll be angry posts all around, and once the dust settles, some people will have problems with a bad download. They'll have to re-download, and they won't be happy.

About five hours after release, someone will find a game-breaking bug with a certain combination of parts or maybe Career mode. Because SQUAD will be inundated with low-quality bug reports, there will be many more bugs that are found but not easy to replicate. There will be a lot of bile addressed towards SQUAD and its lack of wider testing. SQUAD will scramble to make a hotfix, eventually producing it close to a week after the update.

The magic will have been lost. Opposition towards SQUAD will be at an all-time high. The Forums will be full of sometimes-heated discussions, just as a great number of new players enter and further disturb the 'normal balance.'

I really, really hope this won't happen... but I'm worried that it will. Judging by previous updates, it seems like this scenario is all too likely.

So, here's a moment of silence, not only for the old KSP, but for the Forum before 1.0 was released.

See you guys on the other side. Best of luck.
