First of all, no one is expecting you to hope or pray that your issue will be seen on DevCentral. I personally, along with the rest of the DC staff, get an email every time anyone posts to any of the forums. We do the best we can in getting to respond to all of these many posts across many topics in a timely manner. There are very, very few posts that "go unanswered", especially in the iRules area, so I'm not sure where it is you got the impression that so many people were left unassisted.
Second, if it's an SLA you want, F5 does offer a consulting service that would be glad to assist with your iRules development in an agreed upon time frame.
Give it a chance before you knock it. I'm willing to bet that the community comes through in your time of need, whether it's one of us at F5 or one of the many active posters we have in the community that is NOT an F5 employee, which is something that no one else can offer. This forum isn't just watched by a few 8-5 folks here at F5. It's watched by an entire, 20,000+ member community that's involved and interested in these technologies. To me, that's something pretty special.
