At the end of this year MMORPG.com will say goodbye to our Senior Editor of almost 2 years, Dana Massey who will be resigning effective December 31, 2006.  Dana will be replaced by our current Community Manager, Jon Wood. 

We would like to thank Dana for all that he has done for MMORPG.com and his contributions to make us one of the finest sources for MMORPG news and information.  We sure hope that he drops into our forums from time to time to visit ;-)

All members of the MMORPG development or publishing community that wish to reach our editorial staff should now contact Jon Wood at stradden@mmorpg.com or editor@mmorpg.com.

We have greatly enjoyed working with Dana since his arrival in early 2004 and wish him the best in his future endeavors.  We are also excited about our future with Jon Wood as our Senior Editor and feel that he will rise to this new challenge and help lead MMORPG.com into our future success!

    I know I've given you a hard time over the years Dana, but you actually weren't half bad. ;) Take care man!

    I see Dana either developing or being a major player in either one of these big MMOs of 2007. I did notice Mythic posted kind words (wonder if a p.m. was sent : psst! send a resume to us!).

    He has good ideas and I enjoyed many of his editorials. Wasn't he involved to some degree with The MMO center? or The Chronicle?

    Anyways I am looking foward to the future of MMOs, because I know Dana will be shaping it.

    Nah, don't read too much into it, just wishing him well, I did teach him everything he knows afterall. He'd be nothing without me! ;)

    What Richard means to say is, he used to be my lacky until I pawned him off on poor unsuspecting Mythic. image

    Aw, that sucks to hear. But maybe not, changes and diferent experiences are nice. :O

    See you around, and cheers.

    Kinda liked most stuff you wrote ;D

  • StalinfalconStalinfalcon Member Posts: 77

    Heh, it seems to me that I am not in the vocal majority as i say this but, Dana:

    Good bye, good riddance, good to be done with your angst and taboo-ridden strifes, and God forbid I should EVER have the misfortune of running across another iteration of your pabulum anywhere, anytime soon. Your last two editorials have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt how wet behind the ears you are. Get back to us after you have experienced a little more Life, mate. Ta-ta.

    I remember Dana as a member...she got the job before me...then I watch her do great work. Sad to see such a good member go.

    I think you have me confused with someone else. image

    I'm a guy, first off ;)

    And the only posts I made before working here were when I worked on Wish.

    I did that on purpose. image You got the girly name...takes a man to keep a name like that though. Don't worry about your post. I know more about you than you know...I know where you live. image

    So why are you leaving again?

    People's don't normally quit their jobs for unemployment, so yes, that's a safe guess image
