Now do we wait for the inevitable invasion of the ranger forum for people trying to get her to answer a lot of questions?

@tiggs
Wow, I don't know how often I heard something like you will be positivly surprised from all the PR guys (aka the red names who are allowed to post.)
I will be surprised if your presence will change anything like communication. Since TH appearence back in the day it DIDN'T and he had your job. We got a little bit more generic answers, like I'll tell the real devs, we look into it, it will be fixed in the combat balance. But zero information which everyone would have needed. Most information has always been brought to everyone by other parties, like online shops, other players, fan sites, etc. The devs themselves SEEM to know about everything last (which their non-knowledge about lots of stuff time and again proved) or really dont care about sharing stuff.
The worst aspect of the 'better communication' which TH brought to the board was the half information part. It's ok if they don't tell us every little detail (and with them I mean you tiggs), but talking in PR language and HYPING something to heaven always let to an underwhelmed SWG population. Thus the nick names like the IMPERIAL LETDOWN. People expected oppression and got a meaningless minigame which is interessting exactly ONCE. Then never again. Sorry to be that cynic but I don't think people are pointing out this stuff enough to you.
Note that most of your player base in the forums isn't stupid, if you put together a nice commercial most will notice it's nature, experience tells us not to expect everything which is promised.
What we really need are facts, quick answers, daily communication, no pr BS. If you don't know it, FFS please say it. Don't tell any lies, we will remember that. Everyone will understand that your job isn't easy. But at least let us know that you are around, give some feedback, not only once every day or two posting, 'Yeah I'm lurking, surprise surprise.' It get old after a while. And random posts don't prove any knowledge about what's going on.
This post is not meant as an attack or something, I don't know anything about you, except that you like smiley eating dragons and purple. This is more like a try to give you a little hint what to avoid around here and what not.
I don't say TH made a bad job overall, I can imagine there was lots of stuff going on behind the curtain. But everything assumes he is the forum guy and so when he didn't post anything usefull in weeks it looked more like the whole dev team didn't care anymore anyway, making all the discussion in the forums pretty pointless.
Most of us here want to make this game better, especially with the combat and GCW revamps. Hope this all made sense, I am tired. Anyway welcome to the forums.

Hey now, Rangers get to kiss Tiggs' booty first on our forum.
We will spread rumors we have /areatracked Tiggs over at the Jedi forum.
When the trolls got there to look for her, the Jedi will kill the trolls with their negativity and elitism and we can have Tiggs all to ourselves
We can put her in our HTFB and pray the forcefield keeps the forum trolls away. It repels ya know?

Damn. I was driving home. That's two stalkers for you! I think it is too late in the day to get any more.
They don't seem to have stayed for the punch either. I was going to offer them the special "Phenix enhanced" version.

Man we are so underappreciated that even the "What about armor protection for jedis" and "My JTL beta isnt working" or "The village sucks my b@11z" posts dont come in here. Sigh... oh well back to hunting

we may be the only proffession that has a developer drop by without deluging them with "why u hte us?" or "devs-read this" posts.
Instead we get lost in out own little world about who was first, how we're gonna get Tiggs into our HTFB and such sillyness.
Gotta love it.
