I'm around! I just don't read CFC very much. As I've said in the past, the 2K Forums is already almost too active to follow, and so there just aren't enough hours in the day for me to come here as well.!
2K Greg, in all seriousness, I think you do have one of the toughest job @ 2K. Whether it's on your own Forums or over here, 90% of all posts just degenerate into 2k / Firiaxis / Civ V / Shafer bashing...
I wouldn't want to be tasked with having to liason with a crowd of whiners, and read posts about people bashing the company that hired you. Really I wouldn't want to do it at all....
===============
BUT, seeing as how you DID post the above comment, what exactly does a Community Manager do? (I remember they posted for your job a while back, I can't remember what the responsibilities were) ...
It can't be just posting in the forums, because I checked your posting history over @ 2k Games, and you've only posted ~21 posts in the last 7 days.....are you involved with patch? doing QA?
Are you responsible for "community managing all 2K games?" but even then, I don't think the posting history was qualified to only search for Civ Forumns (maybe it was).
I guess you have to read the posts, in order to decide if you need to respond...but you must have an app that is more efficient at displaying/notifying/filtering posts as they are happening, rather than having to go into each thread/post.
I don't
blame you for not posting (hell, no way I'd post responses to a bunch of whining people bashing my company....just curious what takes up all the hours in your day?

BTW ... I loved this post you made over @ 2k Games: (I don't know why but I am killing myself laughing at this one
)
Thread: Why 2K will go bankrupt within 2-3 years
Your Post:Comments like "2k games stick it up yer bum you greedy, odious, appalling excuse for a games company" are not conducive to a civil conversation. You are welcome and encouraged to express your dissatisfaction on these forums but you will need to figure out a way to do it without resulting to namecalling.
the fine print

1) for the record: I am one of those whiners who is not happy with the game, but this post was in now way meant as sarcasm or a personal attack on you 2k Greg
2) to all the people @ civfanatics who demand that people "back up their facts" .... I did not do a statistical analysis of all the posts to arrive at the "90% of all posts just degenerate into 2k / Firiaxis / Civ V / Shafer bashing..." I mixed observation with possibly a little touch of hyperbole
