This is very true. I even openly emailed them before they started making the rosters and a couple days after they had begun asking if they needed any help and how I was willing to volunteer because I have the next week or so free and I want these done for the OS community as fast as possible while still maintaining quality work. I just wish they had let more volunteers who actually wanted to help in on it. Or at the very least PM a mod with a daily update to let the community know where we're at. I fully understand they don't want to deal with the hounding of the trolls and ungrateful people, but I don't think complete secrecy from even the mods was the was to go.
EDIT: Just wanted to add that I am very grateful and appreciative that you guys that are actually working on the rosters are taking the time out of your daily lives to do so. It saves a lot of people a lot of time. Thank you. I was just looking for a daily update via a mod is all.
