gearvOsh hired by Blizzard web team

[Blazur]

gearvOsh, the admin of sc2armoy, just got hired by Blizzard as a Web Scripting Engineer. Say what you want about his piss poor attitude, but the kid's got talent in the field.

That's at least two community players that just got hired by Blizzard in the last week. And it could mean less competition for this site if sc2armory goes down. Or possible more fierce competition as that one remains intact with an inside connection.

gearv0sh? Really? Wow. Congratulation to him I suppose.

[Arkalis]

How curious: now Blizzard is hiring fans...how much pride would be to be hired liek him.

Hey guess what? I just got hired as SC2GDF's official forum moderator!

MUAHAHAHAHAAA!!!



lol, j/k

Dammit. I should start making Blizzard related stuff. But gearv0sh’s web skills are quite good.

Same. I don't know much programming though and I'm just decent at drawing stuff so I don't really know what I could do. The only thing they could possibly need me for is traduction. My french and spanish are better than my english but then again I don't have any diploma stating that I can translate something and they probably have all the people they need in this field anyways.

Yeah this is awesome for him! He mentioned elsewhere that he does plan on continuing to update the site. However, the customary response would be for him to bow out of the fan biz. XG3 left SC:L when he joined the web team several years ago and Mr. Jack has left SC-Source. Similarly, it'll be interesting if Blizz allows him to continue run the site despite him being privy to inside info. I'll be watching with great interest.

He has been actively pursuing a job at Blizzard for some time and he has talent so I'm not surprised.

Do I smell fear? I'm sure that Blizzard will make him shut down or hand the reigns over to someone else though.

[Wankey]

He needs to shut down SC2Armory because of his contractual reasons (I’m sure you can’t be running a Blizzard fansite if you work for Blizzard)

Thus all the community members will come here! muahahahahaha.

I like the small community we have hear. It's just so stable...
More people, and my agoraphobia might kick in.
