What's going on with Anton Tomov the Dev. of Pocket Mechanic?

Ever since the release of pocket mechanic 2.0 it seemed like he would release another update every other day. going from build 2.0 to 2.17 in a matter of weeks. Post to the forum at pocket mechanic were answered quickly.
But around the end of August/beginning of September the forum was taken off-line and the updates suddenly stopped. Did something happen to Mr. Tomov?

SUPPOSEDLY THE SITE WAS GOING TO BE BACK UP THE 18TH. Still waiting... ... ... ... ... I bought Pocket Mechanic six months ago and can't even get a valid registration code :(

It has been amazing how Anton just inexplicably disappears for weeks at at time...

This has been his Modus operandi as long as he has been on the PocketPC scene.

Unfortunately, he as no regard for the impact that this has on his installed base

I just checked it's still down. I just hope pocket mechanic doesn't end up like weather panel.

Okay it's monday morning and the site is still not backup. I don't think it's normal for the relocation of a website to take this long.

Does Anton Tomov = Martian? I hope not!

frustrating, I've filed three trouble reports on his site where Anton claims the forum will be back up SEPT 18th, I've sent Anton private emails asking for help and I've sent emails to his Tech support people. No replies.
still waiting...

Now I get a 403 error. Access forbidden.

He's still at it in some respect... he just set up a 'sale' at pocket gear. Posted info about it on his site, but no update about his forum. :(

Tomov is open for business again. Introducing Pocket Mechanixc Lite. They had troubles with the website. Now I want my new regnumber too.

Well ladies and gents it looks like anton has taken another very long vacation the forum has been down for nearly 2 months. Why is he so irresponsible? When you have business to run you post a notice before leaving on vacation or leave someone in your place to run it while you are unavailable for whatever reason.

This is no way to run a business.
