Sometimes I wonder if some people wake up in the morning, sit in their beds and think "What could I whine about in the eve boards".
Honestly, CCP communication is very good. Sometimes I think it could be better (BS tier 3 feedback thread for example), but still, nothing to whine about... 
Interesting point, it's often posted "XX posts and CCP hasn't responded yet". Volume in a thread does not in any way ensure a reply from anyone at CCP, nor does the inclusion of any staff members name.
There are a lot of reasons for not replying to a thread. In general I can always think of more reasons not to respond than respond, but the brutal truth is, the job of our developers is to make EVE better, not to spend 2 hours a day going through the forums. We should always keep that in mind. I'd rather they write a good blog every couple of weeks than answer 5 forum threads. Forum threads disappear, blogs are at least archived.
Its a fair point, but the point does still stand.
While it's understandable that Devs don't want to have to sift through the forums every day, there have been some very important issues as of late, what with the coming Kali, and it would be a very good move to reply.
Not a good move because its in your job descriptions or anything like that- but it'd make alot of people happier. And making us loyal EVE players happy chappies should never be considered a bad thing 
If an important issue is not commented on for a long time, people just get more and more worked up, less and less happy, and the forum flaming nastyness spirals out of all levels of sanity...........

As the above poster mentioned, (not the drunk dress wearin one ;) )the lack of feedback on the bs discussion thread there borders on rudeness.
And it feels dirty leaving poor Tux (and occasionally Jiekon) to take all that Kali flak alone, without any proper explanations coming from the upper echelons.
Oveur mentions that Dev Blogs are far preferable to Dev Forum Whorage- does that mean we can have a Dev blog to talk about Kali balacing?
Because otherwise thats not Dev Blogs > forums, its neither.
