I think he has to wait until SEGA and Relic have got the rest of their plans ready before he can say anything about it. Seeing as he posted that on February 13th, we might hear something this week.
Not a bad guess, have to admit
Finally some good news. Next step is getting the beta out.
From Lynx twitter (I dunno how to link specific tweets):
"I'm doing good dude. I've got a job! Can't announce it just yet, but I will hopefully be able to in the next week or two." February 13th, 2013
But I'm sure he's lying just to irk you.

I dont know if your timeframe and numbers are correct here RagingJenni, but if they are, they really dont favor your argument.
-Those that responded to this announcement "instantly" by joining the stream, would have had a high probability of joining the stream anyway.
-The "hundreds" that joined might seem significant, when compared to the number of current viewers, however, they are not compared to the number of facebook likes (ofcourse the number was less back then, but probably still high).
-As a regular viewer of SNF I noticed a different viewer time distribution. Viewer spikes of "hundreds" are not that uncommon.
-What other things occured that might have caused spikes (other streams ending, CoH servers going down off and on)?
-To what extent did earlier announcements affect the number of viewers?
-Were the announcements made at or close to a specific time (breaks between matches, on the hour)
-How many announcements were made (did it occur multiple months or just one week)?
-Truely, without proper data, its impossible to establish the type of correlation you claim.
Apart from all this, I simply cant be in favor of a community manager, whos main achievements (as mentioned time and time again in this thread) are posting links on social media and being a nice guy.
I noticed I have different standards than most of you (WmD) guys and thats perfectly fine.
Do you even read my comments? Seriously.. There is no point in discussiing anything with you is there? Why can't you just accept the simple fact that whenever Lynx posted up a reminder about the show on FB/Twitter, viewer numbers went up with atleast 50%. This is a fact. All your statements are purely hypothetical and have relevance whatsoever with this discussion.
Anyway I'm done with this discussion. You obviously don't understand how much of a good job he did. We should be happy to have him as the CM for Company of Heroes. He truly cares about the game and us as a community. If you don't want to believe that, that's fine by me. I'm just glad to have him back as the CM
Ignoring the sarcastic last remark by GeneralHell (and Tommy), I have to express my appreciation of the fact you guys stick up for one another, it shows loyalty. However, you shouldnt be blind to the complexity of correlation between SNF viewers and various events. Its nice you grant THQLynx all the credits, but its just not correct.
Not gonna argue with you on this point anymore. You don't have to believe me. But since I was part of the organisation of SNF, I know what I'm talking about
Its fair to say that THQLynx's posts on the financial situation of THQ were clear understatements, which were close to an insult of the intelligence of the average reader.
This is just your personal opinion. I find that Lynx' comments about the situation were fine. Not a fact, I just understood why he did it.
Now, as a listed firm, that knowledge you speak off, was public information.
Then why go after Lynx so much. You had the information yourself, do with it what you want and draw your own conclusions. The man was only doing his job. Can't blame him for that.
Lets focus on those I already presented, shall we?
Those jumping figures also correspond to overall increasing popularity of the game due to sales and mouth-to-mouth advertising of SNF. One cant easily distinguish between those and facebook and twitter messages by THQLynx.
As soon as Lynx posted a link to the SNF stream on the CoH social media. Viewernumbers went up 50-100% instantly each week. Seem clear enough to me, how about you?
The misinformation does not deal with the boundaries of the statements, its rather about the correctness, which is what the average reader cares about.
Like he would say that THQ was going bankrupt.. I highly doubt Lynx new much more about the situation then we did. He said what he was allowed to say with the knowledge that he had at this point. If you were the CM at that time, and you'd say that THQ was going down. You would've been fired. It's always easy to point afterwards, saying that Lynx gave 'false' information. I'm pretty sure you would've done the same if you were in his place.
