Montclare Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 GDC used to occasionally ask for new staff or moderators; I haven't seen that in awhile. I'm sure other people (myself included) would be willing to help out here and on the GDA side of things. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sort of met Billie in Baltimore but someone else rushed in front of me to give him a guitar and I ended up taking a photo of the guitar guy with Billie and muttering something stupid after which Bill Schneider said they had to go I also met Tré in our hotel once but his security wouldn't allow photos. I managed to tell him that the drums had sounded great at the show the night before but then became a bumbling idiot and don't even remember how I ended the conversation 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slave To The Network Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Man, I had an idea for a new profile picture today since I haven't changed it in awhile and came here to see they still aren't back to normal and I can't change it now.
