Thanks for your submissions and votes, and good luck to Frost Pendragon, InMidnightClad, and DevilCrayon!

Dude! Thanks for liking my design enough to put it in the vote list.

Wonder if Garth will still play now that PGI let him go?

Damn... good luck garth.

Most unfortunate.

Garth didn't deserve this. I did not like the Cicadaman for various reasons.

However, this thread is more or less why he wasn't really cut out to be a "Community Manager". On the other hand, I think ultimately Garth is not really the problem at PGI... but a symptom of said problem.

What a sad state of affairs.

Wait, what did I miss?
Wow, what a F*****g pile s**t, he may have not been the greatest at his job but at least he tried to be a part of this community that continues to grab for interaction with it's Devs. I enjoyed him, and there is only one other Dev I can say that about.
This Cicada pilot is not happy on this day, not one bit.

Garth was let go. Sad, but hopefully it will mean someone else with a better skill set/more experience running online communities replaces him.

I liked him, maybe because I'm a cicada pilot but I think it's because it felt like he really cared.

hmm. I was unaware we were informed of the hows and whys of Garth and PGIs split.

Definitely liked him as well, but if he was let go in the hopes of hiring someone with more community management skills/experience (as the announcement implies) then I can only see that being a good thing, the community certainly needs more management.
