Looks like the Moo spammers have finally been beat. It took a long time.

Well, I don't think John likes to step in for a number of reasons. It will be nice to be free of the gay spam and such, but for a forum with no login it's surprising that moobunny never got any "commercial" spam. It almost seems like spammer automation now expects to set up an account first then spew, and that automation just won't work on a forum with no login - a bit ironic.

Anyway, no matter who the spammer was they will certainly have a hard time of it now. Sad that things had to come to this, but I think it's a reasonable tradeoff.

Long time as in "released new OS4 hardware" long time?  Or long time as in "released Aladdin 4d" long time?  Give us a scale.
Back away from the EU-SSR!

You might want to ask Deron about that Aladdin 4D thing, he was paid to complete it.

Would not contacting Deron for an update be more appropriate for Discreetfx Labs to do?

Anyway, I read here about contact problems all the time, and yet July 5, 2012 concerning Pagestream:
"I've emailed him a week ago about v5.0 Pro for the Amiga. He said that it's still under development."
So I'm guessing sending an email might get you the info, since he obviously responded.
Oh, and he has a rep at AmiWest 2012 as usual, so there's another avenue of communication, since I would assume he actually talks to his rep.

Pyromania sent him numerous e-mails that just get ignored. The whole situation has Pyromania very upset and he feels royally screwed in the matter and is sad for Aladdin 4D fans that want a new version. Pyromania defiantly feels taken advantage of in this matter and does not understand why. He helped Deron numerous times in the past. Deron is DiscreetFX Labs.

Understood.
Unfortunately during the long time Amiga was idle, the world changed. We've moved on from promises and handshakes to a world of contracts and ambulance chasing lawyers.
I think that's something you should consider in the future, regardless of what you might feel you lose by moving on from the friendly atmosphere of the past.
Project Management is not just a buzz word.
