Great show again, Bootcha!
Isn't Rexzilla currently the main maker of video shows for Star Citizen?

Edit: I guess this can do as taxxe.

Question: Any reason for not including the Sandi crocodile tears moment at the con where she said she was quitting because people were being nasty?

You don't have the footage (i can't find it either), or because not relevant, or because too personal?
Not relevant, yet.

I keep hearing about this and I watched the con yet missed that? I saw people mocking her on Spectrum about it and I tried looking but I couldn't find it.
Not that I care about her crying, but I wanted to understand why she was or the context of what lead up to it.

Yeah, i missed it on the main stream but caught it on someone who had recorded it. But then that dissapeared. Maybe CIG took down what they owned and ordered takedowns on others.

I presume someone has it archived, and based on Bootchas response, i guess he has got a copy.

ShapCop needs to be more positive about negativity.
A productive/creative negativity (like in producing a super cool, funny, entertainening video for everyone to watch) is much more valuable then stupid positivity (like throwing all your money at something)

I really liked the Wingman’s Hanger show and Erik Peterson back in the day. At the time I never put it together that he was being pushed out by Sandi.

Erik and his team were the only ones who knew how to make a game lol, no wonder Chris wanted to push them out, especially with how Erik and co. basically became everyone's favorites and Chris and Sandi got less limelight. I'm still sad Erik didn't get to make his Conquest Frontier Wars sequel like he wanted.

Ok, so what's the full story on what happened to Ben? It's a little before my time.

I don't think I ever saw the picture of him when he was thin, it made me sad to see how poorly he's taking care of himself now. Basically a slow suicide. Wish there was someone in his life to give him an intervention about it.

He's been a Roberts cultist since the 90's, he ran a Wing Commander fan website and got picked up by Chris before the Kickstarter to do all the community management stuff for the company - I'm assuming he was willing to do it for little to no money because he just loves Chris so much.

He also had a secret blog where he said some vile poo poo - I can't really remember the particulars of it but it was outrageous to most of the community - and he was shuffled away from the public face of the company after it.

The rumor that I heard (from this thread) was that Lesnik got demoted because of his 90s website with racist/creepy content.

Although I personally think there is more to it than that. Crobo knows that faithful citizens don't give a gently caress as long as they can dream about JPEGs/Da BDSSE.

Someone just linked this on reddit, which seems to be a good summary (slightly :nms: and NWS because of creepy text content): https://www.reddit.com/r/StarCitizenDebate/comments/6rt1ue/star_citizen_community_manager_ben_lesnik/

Basically he had an old blog with a ton of racism, pedophilia, and weirdass stalking of a female news anchor.

Goons like to say that our FUDsters publicizing his blog got him shuffled but I suspect that is a bit self-congratulatory.

In reality CIG doesn't care about that poo poo and they're barely aware that we exist except as it impacts their egos to be laughed at occasionally. More likely, he was so disturbingly obese that it made everyone uncomfortable, and his "Community management" was incompetent at best. Lando was a much more smarmy and effective shill who helped them grow into their target demo, so Ben got thrown out the airlock as they tried to develop a more professional image.

Maybe mark that poo poo with an NSFW or something. I just clicked it to see what was going on while at my desk at work and holy poo poo that's some creepy stuff. When I got to stuff about 13 year olds I closed my browser.

Edit: And to be fair, I knew going in that it said it was squicky poo poo right below the link.

The SC reddit thing has basically become people like shapcap shouting "This is a local shop for local people, we'll have no trouble here!" as they can't seem to think of any better ways to ignore the video viewers.

I normally never go to reddit, but I'm making an exception today just to watch the meltdowns. :)
