Unhalted Raid Frames Halts Development Updates Due to Abuse and Harassment

One of the popular addons since the start of Midnight has been Unhalted Raid Frames, with over 900k downloads. Earlier today, a large update for the addon happened which added party/raid frames, indicators for Ready Checks and Threat, and more.

However, Unhalted has now announced in Discord that Unhalted Raid Frames will no longer be updated, citing a level of abuse and hatred from users, likely in response to the update from earlier in the day. They remind people that addon developers do this as a passion project, and how no one should be subjected to abuse or harassment for creating addons. Their final ask is to be kinder to one another.

Unhalted via Unhalted Development Discord said:

The irony of posting this on the same day as the above but now that I am back from work & have had some time to think about this.

Unhalted Unit Frames will NO longer be updated. Today, has been an eye opening experience and honestly, the level of abused / hatred I received today is just not something I need or want to deal with. This is solo-developed, passion project which is free-to-use, at no point, should ANYONE be subjected to this level of abuse or harassment - unhappy with the product or not, think about how you speak to one another & treat people.

For those of you that stood up for me and showed patience, thank you :Love: Unfortunately, for me - this was just the final nail in the coffin.

I would like to reiterate for those that may have forgotten. AddOn Developers do this for FUN, we do not make millions & a lot of us have jobs - they are free to use and therefore, you should expect issues / changes / adjustments and be a bit more patient with the developers behind those addons.

Appreciate all the support :Love: The Discord will be locked down after this. Best of luck, and please, just be kinder to one another.

As a general reminder, many passionate people create addons on their own time, and for fun. There are real people behind creating these addons as a personal project, and it's frustrating when something doesn't work, but be patient and respectful; these addon authors likely want their addon to work just as much as you do.

Please be nice to addon authors, especially in an expansion where each major patch has large addon changes.
