I know these sort of things can be an uphill battle, but I do have a tendency to see things through. In the end, I maybe a single member group, but I will stick with it. Maybe committee was the wrong description to use. My ultimate goal was to form a group of interested individuals (modders & others) to resurrect the autoupdater and provide replacement windows for the outdated one's as they come along. I am not expecting anyone to make a life-long commitment to the project, people are free to come and go as they please. I won't be moving forward on this project, until Faetyl has had ample opportunity to respond to my e-mail (I e-mailed him this morning). To tell the truth, having Faetyl respond, would be in the project's best interest. At the very best, he may indicate money is tight and payment of the server bill is all that is needed. At the very least, he may say that he is done with the project and can supply all the ThorUI files for use on a new server. <fingers crossed>

Yes, I have seen Lodrelhai's work and I'm actually using one or two of her updated ThorUI windows in my UI directory for EQ2. She is a very talented modder. In fact, while I have no expectations, but if she would be kind enough to provide her windows for use with the ThorUI auto-updater, I would be extremely grateful. If she wanted to go further and join the ThorUI group, I would welcome her with open arms. However I'm going to hold off on contacting her for the time being, since I am giving Faetyl an opportunity to respond to my e-mail before moving forward.
If anyone is interested, I did have a fellow guildee send me his ThorUI directory yesterday. Some of the windows styles aren't my favorite, but it is ThorUI. If anyone is interested in getting a copy of the directory, my e-mail is
