    vB Staff

    Are there announcements made about staff at vB?

    Is Floris still part of the vB staff? It says "team" now and he doesn't have a traditional vB avatar.
    Is Jerry no longer on staff? That would be a shame if he's gone. What does that mean for Impex?

    IIRC, Floris' title has always been 'vBulletin Team'

    Shame about Jerry, though.

      I don't think we will have some explanations about this.

      I think some changes happens (and I'm not the only one who can think that - you posted about), maybe we could have explanations but I don't think.

        I doubt we'll get explanations either, from Jelsoft/IB.

        Not because Jelsoft/IB wish to hide stuff from us, I just think these are matters they do not wish to discuss in public.

          There's no reason to discuss them in public. Its stricly an internal issue.

          On the flip side,... since people often notice and always ask... they could say that so and so left the company (no reasons needed) and so and so will be taking over or they are hiring a new developer to backfill the position.

          Not sure.

            So far, people seem to have joined the team that we never knew about (look at how we found out about Ray). If they're not telling us who joined the team, I doubt we're going to hear about who left.
            Congratulations on the death of vBulletin, Internet Brands.

              It would be nice to recieve updates on staff changes, like who this is.

              But, I understand that it may be company policy (as in Internet Brands policy, back in the day Jelsoft always made announcements for new staff) to not disclose such information.

                Indeed, it is a bit sad that they don't announce new staff. It was nice when they did, kinda made them seem less like a faceless company and more like a community. Small touches and all that. Oh well.

                  His name is still bolded which means that he is part of the vB staff. All staff members on here are mods.

                    I changed my avatar and signature after I said bye to the staff (friends) internally last month.

                      Meaning you left, or they left?

                          Hmmm which means you left because you either got another job elsewhere or you have set yourself up at home.
                          Whatever the case you are still one of the most awesome mods on here.

                            still it would be nice to post something in the announcements forum. Like "Jerry, thanks for the 7 years of working for Jelsoft" or something...
