Is there anyone apart from me MAJORLY concerned about the direction that Rainmaker are (or should I say aren't) going with ReBoot?

I've been following the comic and it's gone from a shaky start to a large floating turd utilising the characters we know and love in a storyline that couldn't be more detatched from the series if it tried.

I am not liking this at all.

Nor am I liking that fact that there is no REAL news on the movie front.

Jon Cooksey is gone, that much is certain... but where is the replacement writer?
Where is the involvement from Gavin and Ian which you may as well admit is what this project really needs to keep it's head above water.

So what do we get? A survey!!! What the dell use is a survey?!?
Not even a good survey!

It just seems like some half-assed attempt at throwing a bone to the fans to make them believe that there is some actual progress when in reality they have nothing (prove me wrong, I dare you).

Before the launch of the Rainmaker initiative a small group of die-hard (including myself) were involved in a teleconference with Paul Gertz (et al) to discuss which direction it should take... but on reflection it was a publicity exercise to get the more vocal and active fans to start the ball rolling without incurring any real cost. Cheap advertising.

The same can be said for Gertz's appearance that the New York Comic Con. No real questions answered just more of the same stalling techniques.

As an active and loyal fan of the series I am starting to notice a trend and am majorly beginning to distrust the P.R. machine at Rainmaker. I'm sorry to cast a shadow over the "three movies" they announced but at this moment in time I just don't hold any stock that they will materialize. I do not think there will be ANY real movement until they see the sales figures from the season 1-4 DVD release next year.

The reason I say this is simple... look at the big picture, the Rainmaker version of progress is just not making sense, it's hollow and contradictary. Something they may have failed to take into consideration is that fans like myself are monitoring the project objectively and from outside the confines of ReBoot.com website and fan forums.

Rainmaker... your silence is deafening.
Start producing some REAL results.
Because you can't fool all of the people all of the time.

And some of us are getting to the point where the veil is going to be lifted.

I agree with you Justice, you bring a lot of valid points.

Something I'd like to add though, you said "I do not think there will be ANY real movement until they see the sales figures from the season 1-4 DVD release next year."Gertz said they would only do that if there is a majority fan input for them. For all we know, it could not even happen next year or ever.

Thank you for joining the survey team. The User Experience team is excited to get your insights on ReBoot as it was, as it is, and what it will be.

What is next?

You will be involved in 10 weekly surveys; including the one you already completed. Each survey will include around 3-5 questions related to a specific topic. These topics will range from 'What activities you take part in on the Internet?' to 'How would you fit into the ReBoot Universe?'. While participating in the surveys, the best answer is a honest one. And, if you don't have any thoughts on a question; skip it.

Oh, and no followup email for me after completing the survey.
