I'm glad to hear this coin being discussed again here.
Your right about the importance of community and that's always been feathercoins focus.
There are a great bunch of people in that community. Doing some really amazing work. How many coins can say one of their developers created a new hashing algorithm? Feathercoin just did this.
And don't be worried about move to NeoScrypt without a GPU miner. One is already in development and they won't switch until its ready. This is an experienced community who value their coin and are not going to rush things.
Go and have a look at the forum. Everyone is welcome
