ilikemoneygreen Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Where he be? Profile page : Here . Now if you notice his avatar is gone, his custom community manager tag is gone and is replaced with Junior Rocket Scientist. I miss something? Does this mean Capt'n is no longer the Community Manager? I checked the announcements section and there appears to be nothing stating any change. Here is me hoping he is not going to be like Damion.... This dude has been in the community for some time, would be kinda sad if he left. Anyway, would be good to know whats going on.

Accelerando Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 He was fired a week or two ago, I think, around the same time PD got laid off because his position was being consolidated with Skunky's, and for the same reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikemoneygreen Posted October 9, 2013 Author Share Posted October 9, 2013 That sucks......Im guessing Maxmaps position currently takes their place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FITorion Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I wonder if there is some sort of provision requiring him to stay off the forums. When Damion left he too never surfaced on the forums again... at least we got a post from PD... but I wonder if he'll ever post again.I feel like these people who worked for squad are also fans of the game and they would still be here in that same capacity as the rest of us unless there was something preventing them.

MrPopcup Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 O-M-G!Not a good move at all! Capt'n was welcoming every single guy who comes to the forum!We love you Capt'n and we want you back!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikemoneygreen Posted October 9, 2013 Author Share Posted October 9, 2013 I dont know about all that but i do know that we arnt very informed. Being uninformed sucks. Laying off the Capt'n is a big loss. He put in so many hours on KSP forums and streams. Its surprising that something like this would happen without any word or anything. He was a major form of info for us. Capt'n is like a band member getting kicked out of a band... without a word. Surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexL Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 So have we gotten any official word as to why either of them have stopped being community manager? I'd really like to know what's happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd really like to know what's happened.No, and you never will, that's incredibly rude and disrespectful to them for us to be talking about their loss of employment. Remember to us they are people who promote the game, to them it's what pays the rent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikemoneygreen Posted October 9, 2013 Author Share Posted October 9, 2013 In thinking about this the more it sucks. I can take PD being let go. But wow, the Capt'n been here since the beginning. Quite literally. He and Damion were the public face of KSP until 2013 rolled around. Its surprising that hed just be laid off by all the work and time he has in. All users were greeted by him, all the heavy discussions had him weighing in. Its a shock to find out that they would just let him go. beginning til a week ago i guess. Blah.....blah... Im going to go get a snickers now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilikemoneygreen Posted October 9, 2013 Author Share Posted October 9, 2013 Rizz this is not the place for that. This thread is not to be be locked or deleted because you feel the need to bring this up a notch.... Please dont. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizzupl Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 What's the freakin' point of him doing that is then? To raise his post count? You could just setup a bot to do this. And what did he do besides this and some ,,official lelkerbal'' comic ? Like, really?@upsorry for not joining your circlejerk hugbox, I see reality as it is and skunky was not needed here.

ilikemoneygreen Posted October 9, 2013 Author Share Posted October 9, 2013 Im hoping maybe a mod or a dev will see this and maybe we can get an answer or two and be filled in on whats going on. No arguments or anything in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that webcomic was never official@upsorry for not joining your circlejerk hugbox, I see reality as it is and skunky was not needed here.Atleast you can be a bit respectful towards him. No one said he was a very good community manager. Edited October 9, 2013 by KasperVld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

softweir Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Given that this is a re-tread of previous threads and that it has descended into argument, I feel it is best if it dies. Now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KasperVld Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Just to make sure the original question is answered, this is Squad's position on the matter:Capt'n Skunky no longer works for Squad. We deeply thank him for his time, effort and passion and we wish him the absolute best, but we do not talk about employee matters.Please respect James' (Skunky) and Alex' (PD) privacy in this matter.
