Would it help if I made a plush kobold and sent it to whoever's responsible for getting the adaptables up?

I understand completely your desire to get this adaptable available and I've been after this question since early September (yes, September): 1.) I've been told that I should not even be asking this question, as it is disrespectful to the efforts of the volunteers that work on such things. 2.) That I have no right to ask for things will be done "when they are done" without estimate. 3.) That instead of planning on using a module that is slated to be adapted, I should only use what is available. Thus, even though my PCs have run through the first module, my entire campaign must go on hiatus until the adaptable is uploaded, and I don't know when that is pursuant #2. 4.) Despite the RPGA being part of Wizard's (a company with hundreds of employees and international offices*) marketing division, I have no right to expect an adaptation from a product released over six months prior. In bringing this issue to light, I have been insulted and belittled and eventually censured. I have found out that the person doing the original conversion has completed it some time ago (contrary to the objections of those claiming to know more than I.) I've contacted customer service and have received "we don't know yet" as a response. I have offered to volunteer my own time (which is quite sparse.) No avail. NO ONE will say who is responsible for getting this thing, which is apparently complete, uploaded. So there is no accountability that I can see. As a consumer, I am powerless in this situation. After this post, all sorts of people will be upset for my comments, and this thread will be shut down as a result and I'll be accused of "baiting" for bringing up what shouldn't be a controversial topic. Ironically, there has been more work by all parties into discussing why this adaptable is unavailable than it would be to just upload it. All in all, it's frustrating as all hell. * http://ww2.wizards.com/Company/ & http://ww2.wizards.com/Company/info/default.aspx

You were given answers. You didn't like them, so you demanded different ones - as if such a demand would change anything. You were given the same answers. Again, you didn't like them, so you demanded different ones. You demanded different ones once again. Things had changed a little bit at this point, so you were given a different answer. You didn't like that answer either, so you reiterated everything like it was something new and then you're shocked that people are tired of it?

What answer? When is the adaptable going to be available? What is that answer? No one knows. That's not an answer. It's a lack of answer. There is no reason why there should be a lack of answer.
My demands for "different answers" where questions regarding the various excuses, many of them untrue, that were given to me. If you find this tiresome, then you do not have to engage. If you are content with the system, then be content. It's been seven months, I've been asking for over three months, and there is still no ETA on this adaptable despite the fact that it is done. No, I'm not content with that.

I would also love to know a schedule and also APL ranges for upcoming ADPs. However, I'm not coming to the boards acting indignant (deserved or not) about it. Do I wish things were different than they are? Sure. Am I complaining about it? No.
your mileage may vary.

I thought you were dropping it, beetle.
One more time: they'll be ready when they're ready; there is no schedule for release.

Firebeetle...
Your argument aside (not disagreeing, not agreeing, not touching it with a 10 foot pole)... your tone doesn't help. You may feel that way, but posting in such a way as you did* isn't going to help the modules come out any faster. I have found that politely reminding people every so often works much better.
* I quote Adams' Law: On the internet, everyone writes 50% more aggressive than they would speak, and their posts are read with 50% more malice than they intend.

Wow. That favor went from way overpowered to pretty lame.
