Why is dean more active on Reddit then on the official forums?

[Felixthefriendlycat 92]

It seems a bit strange to me since this is supposed to be the real dayz community. I see regular posts of Matt Lightfoot but I rarely see deans posts. Dean even posted on Reddit while he was at Everest. Don't get me wrong I really do not mind if there's a good reason for it but I could not come up with a viable answer myself.

We as a community on the forum are so terrible that Dean is better off on Reddit.

Reddit is more likely to have constructive conversation than us.

And of course it could be just that he was a Redditor even before these forums were created. Old habits don't go away that easy.

(^ Just my opinion. No facts here.)

Regardless, the mods here(Read: Matt) will post the major/important stuff, and Rocket will get the same from these forums.

Wow that's pretty sad then. About that important stuff, rocket announced 4 hours ago he would disclose the release date expected time left tomorrow on reddit. Would have liked to see such major posts being done on these forums first.

this Forum is the home of DayZ mod, he's moved on from this

It's better to promote yourself outside of your main forums area. But chances are high Dean is just a normal redditor and doesn't want to change his ways. I personally am waiting for DayZGame forums.

"Tomorrow we will say how close."

Tomorrow is when we'll see an announcement here.

Nothing was left in the dark, as far as I can tell.

[declan223@gmail.com 271]

I don't know, he used to be involved in the community, before the mod got big.

BTW: Can someone move this to off topic?

[liquidmind 320]

There's a thread on reddit collecting his twitter-updates and he commented on it himself.

I would have liked to see the announcement for the announcement here rather than Reddit is what I meant hahaha

[fluxley 2228]

It wasnt an announcement , someone asked him a question, he answered it.

[Cap'n (DayZ) 1827]

Dean pretends to hate us but is really planning to kidnap and systematically murder each and every one of us so he can have cold, hard necrophilla with our cold corpses.

ugh

This fugs me

Thats kind of true

:\

Hello there

Tonight I twittered Dean and to my surprise he answered very quickly. (see if you can spot my tweet and Dean's reply).

TBH to start or involve himself in a topic here rather than reddit, twitter and facebook etc takes a little more thought and time (absolutely no offence to Reddit) to do, as here there *will* be the inevitable questioning from all of us whereas down other avenues one can "fire and forget" topics and thoughts to a certain extent.

Rocket/Dean *is* active here (he once gave me his precious, precious beanz) but we have to remember he only has a limited time to spend with *us*. As well as DAYZ he also has a personal life (wrong I know) and, as he is at the forefront, he is dealing with everything from project management to comms to marketing (I hope) etc etc.

Yes, I'd love him to be here all the time to answer all our questions but it's simply not possible IMHO.

That's why you have guys like Matt, Griff , Boney, Smash and us other mods and help tech staff *looking at you rage (and the rest of you guys)*

R has a finite amount of resources to distribute and cant be everywhere all the time. He has to pick and choose.

IMHO he see's here as *cool* and knows that anything he says/does will be posted up ASAP regardless. To me this forum is closer to his "inner circle" (no jokes please, steak and hets) than other places.

His lack of appearance *here* troubles me not, and I'm a critical person and no fanboi (believe it or not).

But, I have faith in him and he seems to know his onions, have faith, nothing will pass us by here.

Hello there

one can get close, but there's a fine line.

And I'm on the other side with a shotgun.*

Lets get things back on topic. Now Rockets back the forums are about him and the mod, unfortunately not about me anymore.

*and some lube

Back on topic,please.
