I must apologize, but I'm actually glad he's leaving/gone. Most of his articles were poorly written, or nothing more than flame-bait (yes I know the difference between invoking discussion as opposed to provoking readers) making me question his qualifications as both a writer and a public relations manager. Please read Dana Massey: The Myth of Roleplaying Servers, where instead of speaking about the topic in an unbiased and objective way, he chooses to poke fun at the RP server crowd with unnecessary imagery and anecdotes, coming to his conclusions without ever having done the proper research. This article is a shining example of what will not be missed due to his departure.
Either way, congratulations to him on his new position. Its clear that journalism was not his calling.

Best of luck to you Dana and I hope you create a great game. Be it a kids game or something flash based, I hope it does well.
Your articles were always very interesting to read and they will be missed.
Good luck for your new job, Dana.

Congrats Dana and good luck. Make it a good one.
Grats and good luck Dana!
Damn, I'm going to miss his articles. I think a full half of the articles on mmorpg.com this past year were written by Dana.
Thanks for the kind (and not so kind, lol) words everyone. It's been a blast here.
I'll be back in a couple years when I have something to say
