Part of it is because new zones are easier. You do realized were were people upset to lose the old Faultline, right? It had some very unique visuals in it.

GG, I would tell you that "I am killing you with my mind", but I couldn't find an emoticon to properly express my sentiment.

Which is what makes you a great Lead. I'm not being facetious. One of the qualifications for the position is a very thick skin--realizing that at any given moment, half of the user base (if you're lucky it's only that many) is going to be calling for your head on a platter, yet still you get up every morning because you know that what you're doing is cool.
There's a huge difference between listening to the user base and being paralyzed trying to make everyone happy. I've always thought you guys do a good job at keeping things cool and moving. But then, what do I know? I'm a dev suck-up. ![]() |

I'd like to add that being the "Lead" anything does not mean you are ultimately responsible for making the final call on projects. I am the graphic design lead in my company, but I'm still at the mercy of the Marketing Department. If they want something added, it's added. If they want something out, it's out.

My gift to Positron:
Hey, as long as that isn't sarcasm or butthurt then I'm impressed with the Take Responsibility and Deal With It attitude. Look at the recent scandal with Rupert Murdoch and his attempts to slough off the blame. Generally, if The Daily Show would take you to task for doing something, you might be in the wrong. (generally!)
Kudos!
Apparently I'm a Dev Apologist too.
Apparently some people haven't read my canned rage on the Art threads or on design choices to do with costume and the iTrials ![]() |

Wait, come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen War Witch and Melissa Bianco in the same room together! Say, you don't suppose... Nah, who am I kidding? That's just crazy talk.
