Good to know.

Most of the things said in this entire thread are either the result of trolling, and/or passionate, unreasoned discussion.

Lynx has done a great job. Most of the argument saying "he didnt do this" or "didnt do that", come from people not informed of what a CM should do, have probably never worked in a similar environment as they do, or as another user said: have deeper motives.

Simply put: Most games simply have no real CM. Its not noticeable. Lynx has done a terrific job, with what little tools he's had. I myself had an Alpha Key but never got access to the Alpha Feedback forum, but I knew that while it was a mistake on Relic's part to not have one up, Lynx did his best to put in as many as possible *manually*. I don't care if CoH2 ends up being a blockbuster or not. I sure as hell hope it is, but I have the utmost respect for the developers regardless of sales and artings, considering the challenges they faced. That alone is enough to earn my $60.

if he were a "great" or "terrific" CM he would've been snapped up by a different company long before THQ died. as has happened with Apoc twice.

TychusFindlay, i think most us got your point about 5 repetitions ago. Most of your posts are with the same negative undertone towards Relic and/or THQ. I think its time for you to start being active in other topics on other sites - move along ffs.

as i've said before he is alright, but not great.

the fanboys of course instantly jump on my comments and run around claiming i am saying "Lynx sucks total balls and should be shot dead tomorrow"... which is not what i've ever said.

games with an invested hard core community usually are represented by a CM. most games do not have this though. this is why most games do not have a CM. plenty of games with a hard core loyal following have a very good CM situation and community relations that are better than what the CoH franchise has and has had. Plenty are also worse off. These boards tend to attract extreme opinions only. Over the past 3 years I think the community management of CoH is ok.

Seriously, what is your point?

Would a CM that had left our boat long ago be considered great for this community? Yes, we are very aware that there might be generally better CM's out there, but they aren't here, are they? It's not very conforting that all the 'great' CM's are somewhere else, and don't even want to be the CM for CoH. For example, the fact that Lynx stayed in the boat through the hard times (even, if it means that he wasn't offered 'a better' position) means a lot for the community - he actually feels part of it. Imo that makes him great for this community, but not necessarily for some other community.

Are we now clear? Imo this thread is full of misunderstandings.

I always rage when my 50 bucks only gives me 6 years of entertainment.

The attitude is the issue here not the price.
