Steve, the last thing you have to worry about is web attacks. Like you said, this is a product for a niche market - that market is this BBS. And considering that you took payment from people 3 months ago (if I read it correctly) and then never gave even a little "hey I'm still alive, just give me a little more time" to the BBS or via e-mail with the harshest comment being "I HOPE THINGS ARE OKAY, I LOVE MY LENSES AND AM NOT COMPLAINING," I'd say you have it pretty lucky.

Any other web community, even civil ones, would have torn you apart and contacted authorities if money had been sent and the only excuse was a broken rip and stress from your job. People here (including myself) have been VERY kind to you, built you a web page to sell your product and recommended your lenses everytime anyone asked about them. Yet for the most part, the only time you pop onto this BBS is to start a thread saying "The orders aren't coming in, I'm not making any money like I had hoped to, and if I don't get X number of orders within 2 weeks, I'm pulling the plug."

It doesn't only come across as harsh, it comes off as being ungrateful.
