They all seem pretty quiet to me, with perhaps one exception.

I can’t speak to what appears to you - but Mark Sandlin, Chris Giddens, Dan
Rubin, Adrian Drake, Felix Greco, Peter Reid, and Nelson Yrizarry have all
been active and accessible.

They may be very active ‘in their communities’ posting regularly to one forum
isn’t exactly fitting your definition of ‘wide’ access.
| |
Partly, I know how difficult it is to give out
lots of info on a regular basis - but these guys are active in their
communities and available to speak one-on-one with if you are also active in
those communities. There are a few other people I know fairly well who I
assume would stay active, but I don’t know for sure.
I would hope your friends (I presume they’re your friends), Richie Dulin and
Ross Crawford, are active in their forums. If they aren’t, I’d suggest you
contact them and ask them to step down so someone more willing to do the work
can take over instead.

I did mention one notable exception, did I not?

A second duty of Ambassadors should be informing TLG about the next
generation of community - to help guide the community and the company
closer together. I’m off topic now, but one of the biggest things I did
while an Ambassador was to recommend Nathan Wells to help the Castle 2007
team. He turned out to be very important in the process, and made the end
result much better.
|
I must’ve missed that announcement first time around. It strikes me that
this is exactly the sort of thing the community would like to hear so that
we could share your pride in the achievement, and yet this is the first
we’ve heard of it.
|
First off, I stepped down last August due to my son. So I bear no
responsibility in subsequent handling of information - I gave that
responsibility to other people.
Secondly, announcement was during BrickFest that AFOLs had helped - a few
months later, Mark and Ben spelled it out in more detailed. I assumed the go
ahead had been given and that others involved could give their input. My own
account was no where near as sexy as Mark’s (who flew somewhere), so I didn’t
want to steal his thunder. It appears that
full details are being prepared
for announcement.
|
Not everyone can make it to Brickfest. Maybe the announcement was made in a fest
report, and I did indeed miss it. I think it’s worthy of it’s own thread though.
| |
Thirdly, it suddenly appears to me that I didn’t have the go ahead to give
information like Nathan Wells being involved. So me saying anything could
very well be out-of-line.
|
The point is, where’s the harm in divulging that information at the time it
happened? ie. when Nathan was chosen for the project. I don’t argue with the
need for secrecy, I just think there’s perhaps more than is really necessary.

| Its certainly not a bad thing for you to mention Nathan's involvement as he was very valuable to that project. Also speaking about your role isn't a bad thing either, here's the reason why there's usually some hesitation when it comes to working on (...) (17 years ago, 31-Jul-07, to lugnet.ambassadors, FTX) !

| (...) Your charge was that all the Ambassadors are quiet. They are not quiet. And to clarify what I meant by "wide" - what I do not mean is that Ambassadors should visit sites that they would never had visited in the first place. For example: as (...)
