Wil Wheaton Drops Dungeon Column

[Mark]

Goodnight, Moon...

 

[DonTadow]

If I could respond appropriately to this call for shame I would probably be banned, and I would no doubt lose readers and a lot of people's respect.

You have no idea what went on behind the scenes of the column. The column was MY IDEA, and I edited very single one of them. I worked with Wil to make the column a better fit for the magazine (it's not a poker magazine), and he responded well to the editorial input.

After he decided to step away due to over-commitment and negative reader feedback, I tried very hard to save the column, and am more disappointed than you that the column is no longer in the magazine.

And for this I should be ashamed?

I think not, sir.

Erik... you've had a hard week. We want you to know we appreciate your work and we understand you put in your best effort to save it. I think that was pretty much determined a few pages ago but I don't think tortoise read those posts. I think we should really concentrate this thread on what we can do, which is suggest ideas for what we'd like to see replace it. It might not go anywhere but its more creative than bashing Erik, or bashing Will or bashing dungeons current content.

Run Jdvn1, you're attempts to 'back peddle' for me will only wind up getting you flamed.

Does that mean he's selling your products retroactively?

"JoeGKushner is a jerk!"

You know, despite attempts to lighten the thread up in tone and turn it more positive, it really hasn't helped, given the negative impact of the thread's earlier discussion. There are already two other Dungeon threads, HERE and HERE that discuss Dungeon's other content, and what additions people would like to see.

I'm going to close this thread, and suggest that people focus their attentions in these two threads, because Wil is no longer creating the column, and it's really a dead issue because he has no intention of doing otherwise. rather than invite any more flames, I'm closing this thread now. Erik, my sentiments with DonTadow, and I'm sorry the column didn't work out.
