I have looked through the twitterz and through the forums and haven't seen anyone breathe this question, maybe because it's so obvious and i am just dumb. Now that the news is official, are you still planning on releasing forge for 1.8?
I saw Lex mention about keeping modding to 1.8 and below, which hinted at the release, but he also tweeted he wanted to get the release out before the announcement, which hinted at it not being released. I dunn know.
Maybe it's just not ready? (Coding is tough shiet, my brain would explode), in that case, no rush (Not that i could ever inspire anything in any of the forge team except annoyance </3)
Anyways, love your guys/gals' stuff! You work so hard and are so awesome. Stay metal and good luck
