    He got promoted to a higher level position.

    CaptainSmirk is Branflakes' replacement in our community and LaughingTrendy is Smirk's assistant, who handles some of the gruntwork Brandon used to do.

    Wasn't Brandon on yesterday with the welcome thread dealy?
    My Old Blog about things that could and should have been added when I wrote it. Not sure what I want to do with it now. I'll just keep it available now that most of it is outdated.

    Nerf is OP, plz nerf
    That's quite the paradox, how could you nerf nerf when the nerf is nerfed. But how would the nerf be nerfed when the nerf is nerfed? This allows the nerf not to be nerfed since the nerf is nerfed? But if the nerf isn't nerfed, it could still nerf nerfs. But as soon as the nerf is nerfed, the nerf power is lost. So paradoxally it the nerf nerf lost its nerf, while it's still nerfed, which cannot be because the nerf was unable to nerf.

    I call it, the Stoutes paradox.

    Basically.
    A couple weeks ago, I was asked by upper management to step into a new role. Because of my work here on Star Trek Online, and the feedback you all have provided about me working with you, has enabled me to take this next step. Starting tomorrow, I will be transitioning into Community Team Lead for all of Perfect World Entertainment. I will be responsible for and managing all of the Community Managers and Community Management Specialists on our various games, working with them to take our communities to the next level. Due to this, unfortunately, it is not possible to continue my role as Community Manager of Star Trek Online (unless we can figure out a way to add 24 more hours in the day, of course). It is with mixed emotions that I share this with you as in one way it is an amazing opportunity, and in the other way it means that I will not be working directly on the game any longer or with you all. With that said, I still will be playing a role in the Community and game, but in a way that will not be as visible.

    Anyways, he's continued to be fairly active on the forums since he assumed the new position.
    You're right. The work here is very important.
