I second (or third or whatever) shutting down this thread - there's nothing good coming from it now. A meaningful discussion is impossible when the conversation has devolved exclusively into name-calling by drunknbass.
On purpose or not, DB has become one of those guys who wants the acclaim of achievement but is apparently lacking the skills to execute his stated goal. I genuinely feel bad for him because, from my perspective, he's a dilettante who got in WAY over his head and just doesn't know when to admit failure.
MAJOR POINTS TO CONSIDER:
1. For more than six months, he's very publicly set (and then missed) multiple deadlines.
2. One single developer left the project in January and that apparently critically injured his ability to turn out
anything.
3. His girlfriend posted up on his site that she's forcing him to scale back development to spend more time with her.
4. DB references #3 as a legit reason for a lack of professional movement on his part.
5. This is how he publicly represents himself (and his product) to the largest group of potential customers he can address with one message:

Don't these actions absolutely REEK of someone who bit off a lot more than could chew? There is a complete lack of professionalism on DB's part that is unrivaled among the dozens of devs I've encountered since last June. I don't think he's a jerk or an a-hole or a donation-thief or anything heavy like that.
I think he simply has absolutely no idea what he's doing.
