I hate to squash hopes and dreams, but yeah, I've received that error before and there wasn't an update. 

I think it's safe to say the mythical update is never coming.

If there really was an update coming, Vertex would've said something. Maybe.

How many times have you been told not to perch yourself on the power lines?

Hey, it's a nice view from there!

Well, I'll be darned! It's back on!

Does he even care enough to update at this point?

Probably not

RetroJunk did get the much anticipated update...about 3 years ago. The result being the current layout. There's nothing more to expect.

Much anticipated, and ultimately rejected. I'm sure it was a lot of work. The reaction, justified as it was IMO, must have been incredibly disheartening for Vertex. It's really too bad, and a shame. I wish it had not been done. I wonder how he feels about it.

I think it was his attempt to jump onto the whole "web 2.0" design fad. Overrated if you ask me. Yeah, things look sleeker and "more professional" as a result. But there's no character in web 2.0 design. I prefer the "Geocities" cheapness and gaudiness. But that's just me.

@Derk:

I doubt it. He's lost the love for the site.
