 * Hi.
 * Loving the plugin.
 * Is there any quick hack I can make to a file so I can see “who’s been online”
   when I’m in maintenance mode??
 * (this also might be a great idea for a button option inside the next update?)
 * Cheers!

 * Hi, sorry about this. I am sure the developer is currently busy doing other jobs.
   He will read your question.
 * Kind regards

 * Umm, it’s no problem. I was just wondering who you are? are you his receptionist?
   or?

 * Hi, I help the plugin developer as much as I can. When it comes to the development
   of the plugin that is when I submit a message to the developer to investigate
   further if the problem reported is an issue or not.

 * So….you’re just a concerned citizen??? lol. As what you have described as your
   role, is the entire point of this support forum.
 * How about the developer just get off his lazy butt and read the forum “for his
   own plugin?”
 * Anyway, whatever dude. This is obviously a warning sign that this plugin has 
   no real support, and no future.
 * Good luck, whoever you are.

 * Or if the developer wishes, never support this plugin at all and completely ignore
   this topic. That’s fine too.
 * _*Drinks coffee*_
 * What you are missing is that this is a free plugin, supported by people like 
   the developer and mbrsolution on their own time and out of the goodness of their
   hearts. You’re not owed a reply and not entitled to support from them or anyone.
 * It’s great that this plugin is supported but try to keep the attitude down.

 * If you think complaining that way will get you anywhere then I suggest you simply
   use a different free plugin.

 * Re: Dowbowski. Actually, I wasn’t talking to you Janet.
 * Thanks for the eventual reply from the author. My issue was not getting a reply
   from the author, and having some kind of secretary constantly reply

 * A few minor things.
    1. It’s not Janet.
    2. Neither myself or mbrsolution are anyone’s secretaries. We just attempted to
       set your expectations correctly.
    3. Again, the lack of response from isn’t really the issue and mbrsolution offered
       to forward your issue to the author. That’s where you became rude.
    4. You don’t get concierge treatment in these forums. [Welcome to free open source volunteer staffed support.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hack-for-maintenance-mode?replies=9&view=all#post-8405023)
    5. The author replied.
 * You’ve gotten your response and I’m now closing this topic. If you have a new
   support topic for this plugin then feel free to start a new topic.
