The thread you linked started in April 2013 - right when the panic was in full-throttle mode. That thread basically details info all the way through December 2013, with few comments after that. Through December 2013, you still couldn't find many parts.
So, in a nutshell, you're pointing out a thread for us to read, so we can make an informed decision.
Informed decision about what?... That Ares Armor was hit by the panic pretty hard, just like every other company was hit hard?
I don't understand your point in posting that.
