Bitch about bad decisions 2.) Scoops/Insider knowledge As that directly impacts NDAs and their job, then they probably will not post.  Also, it is their job.  They may not want to login an talk about it when they get home.  I certainly do not want to think about my job when I get home.  Finally, they already have game networks. They game with each other and have an internal network of gamers.  They do not need to post to have access to a larger network of like minded people.  They are surrounded by them already.I do not think ENWorld needs to change to make it more friendly for designers to show up in an official capacity.  I'd prefer for them to post here to chat and discuss them game, but I do not see the benefit of them posting officially unless they need to impart knowledge etc such as Dancey used to do.  And finally, in the early days of 3e when it was Eric Noah's place, it was just different.  The base was more energized and everyone wanted to talk about the game, including the designers.  7 years later, things are not so new. The buzz is gone and I am sure they want to go home and relax rather than deal with the same issues and discussions for the nth time.</blockquote>
