The Ed Lewis appreciation society

lol a bit of a dramatic thread title but I want to publicly say that I think Ed Lewis has been one of the greatest things to happen to this game outside of the actual game development. I'm not easily pleased and nor do I give praise to suck up in any fashion.

I've been here from the start and at times things were less than cordial between the community and devs. We've been through some really difficult times, and will likely go through many more, but I think it was a matter of sheer genius to hire this guy. I couldn't do his job, not in a thousand lifetimes, and it takes someone with his personality to do what he has done in creating great community streams and connecting with us all.

I also happen to think it allows FD to shine in a way they never did before. Ed puts the personal face on FD and as someone who cares about the game and its future I just wanted to take some time out to say thanks Ed. I think you and Zac have really turned things around in the way we relate to Frontier. :)

I think every employee at Frontier deserves a pat on the back. The mods here have earned one too.

Nothing against Ed, he seems like a decent guy, but he's the public face of a very large company and one cog in the clockwork.

Another positive thread today! Something in the water I think...

Anyway, yeah.... Ed's a good guy and so is Zac. As a mod I'll just add that I think they both are very supportive of we mods as well, and I know they work hard to make this entire community thrive.

Fair point but as I said I think a friendly community face allows those guys to shine. Before which we had some rather unpleasant and difficult exchanges and community engagement was terrible. Its a world of difference these days and I see the community team as a bridge between FD and the community. Before which it was a pretty unpleasant and un professional experience. ;)

You know me Jenner, I give stinging critique.. But I also think its worth pointing out the positives :) I should also send out a high five to Zac, who is also key to this.

Ed goes way above and beyond the call of duty. He shows a real care for the community and that's why I'm a fully-paid up member of the The Ed Lewis appreciation society... just to be clear here, this doesn't involve paying any real money?

Anybody remember SJA? Themoment she got popular among players, she got banned from forums, her work scattered into four winds, her source code purged.


Praise him at your own and his peril!

I couldn't agree more! Ed was hired at a time when things were definitely getting a bit tetchy, mainly due to the lack of communication, I remember very well the day he started and right from the off it was obvious he was going to be a very good thing for the company and the community. He did a great job at the premier event, which was only a couple of months after he started, and when I met him there it confirmed my thoughts. A great man.

still waiting on the BobbleEd
