Hey just letting you all know that I’m writing up an article/presentation on the things I learned while working on this community and MUA2 site.

And I learned a lot. I made good decisions, bad decisions, friends and enemies. Hopefully I wont repeat the same bad decisions this year.

To give you an example I now know never to use the word “soon” as it’s never soon enough :)

Another example is: giving banned people a second chance is a bad idea.
One more: people will cheat even if there is no incentive

Once it’s done I’ll post it up. It will be similar to this presentation I did in Dec about what I think will happen in 2010

I’d also like to know if you, as the users, have learned anything while on HeroHQ and the MUA2. Feel free to comment.

Sounds awesome, Dr.T

Two things that I’ve learned:

1. HeroHQ is a fantastic site, with a great community.

2. DOGGIES ARE BIGFOOT!

Off topic but did you win the electthejury thing?

I learned that games built for Xbox/Playstation are not the same as wii. :(
But on a positive note I found that teaming up with fellow heroh-qers can have astonishing results. After a lot of e-mails, tweets and facebook posts we did eventually get our rep from N-Space, a little late but we did get it!

Vicarious Visions is a very open company with amazing community and transparency!
I need to save up for an Xbox or a Playstation to get the best MUA2 experience!

Thanks Dr T, for babysitting these forums through the good and bad. Thanks VV for all your answers and for creating an exciting build up.
No thanks go to N-Space, unfortunately.

I thought I posted a big thanks in the forum post (checking after this to make sure i do) but yes I did make the jury and will be in New Orleans in Feb 20 as part of it!

thanks for the support

Congrats! :D

wha?!! I just got an error message, it’s been a while…

Well today is my 1 year anniversary of being here and I hoped I would have been able to write some stuff down but I’ve been super busy. Maybe the week after next

I’m hitting my one year anniversary very soon. Here’s what I think I learned:

1. Managing expectations is hard (i.e. people want too much too quickly).
2. It’s better to under-promise than over-promise.
3. Some people will never be pleased, no matter what.

Here’s what I didn’t learn:

1. How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?
2. How much wood would a woodchuck chuck?
3. What is a Twinkie made of?

Thanks for the great site, Dr. T!

What I’ve learned… heh That’s alot of content. Some of it is X rated...thanks VEN.
There’s a better way to get someone to stop being a jerk then yelling at them and writing them off.
Even when you have 80000+ members it doesn’t mean people post.
CWO Jocks have no Idea what is going on in the forums just like forum people don’t know what is going on in CWO ( may it rest in peace)
Meeting people face to face is for the birds...just join an internet forum.
It is VERY scary when someone calls you by your name.
The Mods are always right...even when they are wrong.
My best friend is a mini troll. (at times. )

i learned to never, ever give up, even when things arnt looking my way, cuz u never know whats going to happen in the future, and i learnd to respect peoples opinions, no matter how wrong they may be

I learned I have a surprisingly addictive personality and a lot of free time in the summer holidays

Hey Dr. T. I learend how fun it coudl be to be part of an online community. I also learned how to play CWO really, really well, lol.

Anyway thanks Dr. T. for all you did with the site and CWO!!

Any news when CWO is going to go live on Marvel or if it is going to go live on Marvel?

Have a great one.

Ah but there were a few of us who existed both in the posting world and the CWO world, double the fun, lol.

There are some cool people online.
