I posted this as a reply in the mining discussion forum, but doing so here since that one is full of the spam bot.
I heard through Twitch that someone managed to get a hold of Ido in real life and that he didn't know about the recent issue with email verification not working.
I mentioned it elsewhere, but I am writing a sort of bare bones emergency backup program in case LBML quits working entirely without new updates. In short, I have a rough radar, finder, and deed scanner ready to go that works, and the last major piece for me is just getting the map to work right (which is fairly finicky). If Ido does come back or LBML keeps working, I won't be releasing my program, and I prefer to just keep using LBML.
I've tried getting a hold of Ido through a few channels over the last year with no luck, but if anyone does know another way to get a hold of them, I definitely would like to chat with them about seeing how LBML could keep going if Ido does plan to check out someday.
Still, I'll keep an eye on things, especially with the planned March UI update. I know if there are changes made to the in-game UI (especially how deeds, radar, and finder UI look) it's likely to require an update on the program I'm working on, as well as LBML, in terms of how they identify key features in the screenshot. Hopefully things go smoothly in the next few months regardless of which direction things go, but March will tell how things are going to progress.
