Per F95 rules, it will be marked abandoned if someone reports it May 1, 2024 and no update by that time. Set yourself a reminder. You took my quote out of context.

You whined, incorrectly, that the progress bar hadn't moved but 1% in the six months in question. I simply replied that it had moved by 13%. I made no statement how I felt about it or my hopes. So, let's get that straight, right up. So your first "gotcha moment" is more a meh.
In the past year and a half it has moved another 12%. You are correct. I also have been saying for a little bit of time, that I don't expect an update until sometime spring 2024 at the earliest... and probably later. So your second "gotcha moment" is a ho-hum.
Finally, what does it matter if a title - any title on this sight - gets marked abandoned? It doesn't change whatever the developer is or isn't doing. It's not like they say "Oh fuck, F95 marked my VN abandoned. I might as well just dump everything in the trash" or "Fuck, now I gotta get off my ass." Some might do either of them, but the average developer won't care. And a successful developer would care even less.
Also, even when an abandoned tag is given to a game - people still go into the threads and pine for what was and what could have been. They wax nostalgic about the lost potential. They beg for the developer to come back.
And there will still be trolls who come in and bitch "update when?"
