"What could they have done differently?" How about do what you acknowledged had to be done post R/S and uplist? Mac acknowledged how important it was of the timing and execution of the uplist. Yet hasn't done one thing to support it. So wouldn't you say there was something he could have done different? Like actually carry out what you said had to be carried out upon uplisting? They have done NOTHING to support the PPS after uplisting. NOTHING. So if he had nothing to support it. Then why do it?
I am disappointed in our current PPS and that I personally don't know what they realistically could have done differently, so I am not beating them up for it, unlike so many people here. Could they have done things differently? Of course. Would it have made things better or worse? Impossible to tell.
