    I left an infernal script for this purpose on the internal GitHub server, if anyone can figure out how to run it... Commented Feb 19, 2020 at 16:18

    @Shog9 read that as 'infernal github server' and was nodding... Commented Feb 19, 2020 at 16:18

    The third bullet in the "Initiatives in Progress" section is our company's plan to reinvest in Meta. And no, once a week is not enough time to stay on top of all of the issues on Meta but she'll have the CM team and others reading and sharing along with her. We're committing to working together on this. Commented Feb 19, 2020 at 16:19

    We're also working on trying to get @Shog9's infernal script up and running :P Commented Feb 19, 2020 at 16:19

    @djsmiley2kTMW Fun fact, there's also an infernal github server, officially; a bunch of people in the office signed the case's lid when it was bought sometime 2016ish? ...then it had unending hardware issues. We ditched it for a VM, but it's still sitting in the rack to this day in case someone dares challenge the curse. Commented Feb 19, 2020 at 17:21

    @JNat I'm sure there's someone you could hire as a consultant to do that. Commented Feb 19, 2020 at 17:44

    @mithical I agree its not enough time if that was all we were doing. We are working to publish our commitment to responding to Meta posts from the larger community team. So we will have a whole team keeping an eye on the site and a process to ensure we are aware and responding on the site. I believe in underpromising and overdelivering so I will strive for more but this is my personal commitment to always maintain. Commented Feb 19, 2020 at 18:15

    @Shog9 Hey, maybe they'll bring you back as an external contractor: Stack Overflow's Infernal Script Barterer. (Role may also include cajoling and pleading and, in the case of printing, minor blood sacrifice.) Commented Feb 21, 2020 at 15:19

    @wiz hiring Shog as external contractor was suggested directly to the CEO of SE, and ignored, as expected. They don't want him back. Commented Feb 23, 2020 at 8:06
  • @ShadowWizardisEarForYou suggested by whom in what forum? Commented Feb 24, 2020 at 15:40
  • @TylerH meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/393552/… under "Community managers released from service". Commented Feb 24, 2020 at 15:44
  • @ShadowWizardisEarForYou That doesn't show what you've claimed. Commented Feb 24, 2020 at 15:51

    @TylerH how so? Aaron suggested this to the CEO directly, just to get the lame "Cannot comment". Which is wrong. CEO of a company can comment on anything he wants to, he just doesn't want to. Commented Feb 24, 2020 at 16:13
