[QUOTE="muchado, post: 75650, member: 17"] YEP SCUMBAGS. You know it's the last straw when employees arent getting paid. Here's an excerpt from the Eclipse Critic Blog, I've been following this blog for a while: Sadly, it looks like the end. This is not a post I was looking forward to. I've experienced grief myself recently and know at first hand the pain and loss the staff at EAC, along with suppliers and customers, must feel at this time.
