Just a warning - not that I've seen it here, but it does happen a lot in the BVE community - the next time I see someone give a totally disproportionate fly off the handle response to a new member asking about when a release might be a available, they will be receiving a ticking off.
I'm not sure what people expect, but it shouldn't be that people will see some fantastic screenshots and then forget about the route till it just appears.
If you see a new computer game pre release thing you like the look of, you try and find out an approximate release date for the game, do you not. Why should it be different with BVE? I don't know what new community members thing when they log in and get an irate message back because they've asked when something might be available. Just because it's become the accepted thing for BVE, why should new users already know about it, with their psychic powers, I expect.
If it does start occuring regularly on this forum, it will not be glossed over, it will be treated exactly like any other nasty message towards another user, and you will receive a telling off.
