this thread got derailed harder than if the ghost of unmod itself had done it
Moogle, the primary reason people aren't offering help to the project is that this is merely a discussion thread. There was nothing requesting help or anything and I doubt that people would normally volunteer to help and post as such on a board that has no direct relation to the project.
BUT, seeing as there is now at least one project leader reading and posting in the thread (I didn't count) I don't see why someone couldn't volunteer now.
As for enthusiastic people, the first page or so has plenty of gushing people that you might have missed.
