"Simply because those on aw.net deserve it" is a really bad generalisation. Even the thread you linked to has plenty of people making the point that Troika have shown nothing of value... just picking out some quotes from that very thread (and quite a few are from regular AW.net posters):
"Just sorting out that license issue and writing a driver for the Kryptos, right?" (hatschi, 628 posts)
"More carrot dangling. Why not just release your so-called existing product instead of making silly remarks. you are about as reliable as a ashtray is on a moterbike."
"Are you blind or what? Troika has not shown us that a board actually exists. For a company what has shown us piss all, they do have a nice fan base." (OldTimeUser, 33 posts)
"Words, just words..." (Pentrite, 203 posts)
"If by 'good times', you mean the release of your board, why haven't we seen any pictures or anything yet? Actions please, not words." (Me, 1350 posts)
"I think more people would wait quietly and more happy if you just gave us a project status update, so that we have some estimate on how long we might have to wait.
Also it would be nice with some proof that this project even exist, so even a photo of a prototype board would help alot. I myself is very skeptical, since we have been let down by false promises so many many times in the past." (Tomas, 497 posts)
"Yawn......" (Wol, 425 posts)
"If you have something show it, otherwise go away. I'm just tired of false promises and waiting for nothing." (_TheCrow, 182 posts)
... and so on and so forth. Frankly I'm sick of generalisations about AW.nets membership.
