Nothing is preventing us. IL is the only one with direct access and he is busy. Don't worry one day he will do it. Just wait....
Direct access is not the main problem in that question.
I don't pay much attention to icons, i have no much time for that, but that problem is resolvable easily.
If someone (admin?) give me icons.bni file to replace, i'll upload it as soon as i get it.
If someone (admin?) ask me about an access to bnet directory, i'll try to do something.
Yes, i have no time to work on icons, but don't think i'm the one who slow that down. I'm ready to assist an icons job when anyone else will do another part of that job.
