That's a bit of nostalgia from my days as the QA Manager. I was originally intended to act as a speed bump (read buffer zone) between the fans and the developers. Sort of the first line of defense for tracking down issues and dealing with them early. Is there a way to change my name without losing my start date and other settings?
Thanks,
-Barry

Send a PM to one of the admins and they'll do it for you like they did for me.

[Solver]

Ahh, the good old days. I believe you were in charge of QA during PTW and Conquests, right?

If you send me a PM, I'll take care of changing your name too

[Solver]

Rargh. Trip: screw your young, fast-typing fingers

[Jon Shafer]

Shouldn't that just mean that you have more practice?

[Solver]

I first learned to type on a Soviet typewriter, which was very much not QWERTY

I'm actually the executive producer now but I am still producing individual titles as well. I guess we need to update the website since I've been the EP for over a year now...

D'oh! Sorry, Barry. Besides the fact that you said so in the recording itself , I only now remember you making that correction while being introduced at ApolyCon '06 last summer too.

I'll refer to Jon and Solver's note above for the direct answer , but in the interim at least I've modified your custom title to note you as "Executive Producer" at Firaxis.

[Barry Caudill]

Thanks Dan,
I just sent a PM to Solver to get the rest of it done.
Sincerely,
-Barry

hehe

Actually it's quite fun to imagine people in firaxis using their poly nicknames to refer to each other.

"Yeah, so Trip and Alexman are now in a meeting with Speedbump..."

ROFL this must be how threads in the admins forum are like...

all those shiny titles and civgroup icons

Shiny? Where?

Ha Siro, I can now understand the Hebrew bookmark in your link bar. I think

ROFL

Lucky I censored some of them

And you have no way of knowing what it says, because only one word is a noun and the two others are names.

It's an online arab-hebrew dictionary.
I'm sure you can put it to good use

[Solver]

Hey, you know what one automatically assumes with bookmarks that contain names

That's how a lot of people knew me for a while when I was here. I'm now pretty much just "Jon" at this point though.
