Nobody's "Piling On" here B3D, this thread is barely 2 pages long. That's hardly what I'd call piling it on. Aeilkema has made a very valid statement that in order for communications to improve, SM needs to communicate more. I happen to agree with that assesment. There's a huge difference in being talked to and being talked at as well. Being a little more "Proactive" in talking "To" the community, would go a long way towards alleviating these "Has Poser gone too corporate" threads and feelings some have been having.

As for this all being a crock? Those many posts you're refering to are exactly the posts that Aeilkema was referring to when he said that the only times staffers tend to be seen is when they're either announcing something or correcting someone's missunderstandings.

No offense, but things used to be better in that area. There's always room for improvement.
