Defcon was endorsed by DPR long prior to his departure. He is not "Never heard of". Hux (not Hex) has been around since the beginning and as he is one of the devs, there is a good reason you have never heard of him. All of us who have been recently promoted have been around for quite awhile. Some of us under new names. Some of us were part of the contingency plan put in place by DPR. So my question to you is: What exactly are you cautioning people of? I don't see how any of what you are saying makes any sense.
