Well, as some of you may have noticed, I haven't been around as much as I have been and I'd like to give a bit of an explanation.  I really didn't know where to post this, so let's try here since I spent much of my time here.  I'd put this in an off-topic section, but the people in the other SD forums aren't going to know me and it's not really general Sins discussion so I am putting it here.

Much of my time previously was spent modding Sins.  I have been playing another game for about as long and it recently released much of it's code, enabling some really impressive modding abilities so I was naturally drawn to that and soon became one of the most prolific modders.  It is a relatively small community so it became known that I was a CS major.  In addition, I already had a position that allowed me to see content before others and thus was closer to the developers.  When all these things were combined, the developers asked me to join them.  Since then, I've been spending much of my time working on the game and have been modding it.  I do have plans to return to Sins of a Solar Empire modding, but I'm just posting this because it's finally official.

You see, last month I signed an NDA but it was taking them forever to process it, meanwhile I was already programming as a developer.  I wanted to post this thread at that time, but because it wasn't official yet, I wasn't able to say anything yet.

Well, now it is official and now I am saying it.  I'm not going to say the name of the game as that would probably blatantly make this thread not apply to Sins modding so if you really want to know, you can PM me.

I guess I figured I'd let you guys know why I've been gone, what I've been up to instead, and that I do plan to do some more things with modding Sins in the future, I just can't right now.
