When the drama around this first started, Bosk hadn't been around much, so it was kind of concerning on multiple levels.
But the apology was actually 6, not 4, months ago. Bosk1 has been very active again around the forums.
On top of the original contest starting over a year ago.
For all I know, the band never supplied any prizes, so I won't put the blame squarely on Bosk1. But if they did provide prizes, it feels like that's the kind of thing that should be passed along to whoever the winners may be.
The band don't interface much with the fans anymore the way they used to with the fan clubs and other special things, it's a shame that the things they apparently do still support wind up not really breaking through, for whatever reason that may be.
