Sponge At Minecon

One of the booths was just handing out free staff members. Had to grab one for Sponge!

I blame Gabi!

But jokes aside it’s good to be on board.

Any chance of getting a quick introduction / what you have done previously for those that don’t know you?

I am Danda, a 6’4" Panda

I previously was an administrator/moderator for 3 years on a relatively large Bukkit server (at peak the server had around 300~ people online) with Gabizou, so my experience is mostly forum moderation and server management.

I got involved with the project over the Minecon weekend I originally attended to hang out with Gabizou but as the event progressed I kept having people approach me asking questions about what Sponge was since I was around the booth a great deal. After this happened a few times I started trying to answer as best I could then referring them to other Sponge staff that were not busy to better answer any questions they had and listen in so that I could better answer any future questions. As the weekend continued I progressively became more of a permanent fixture on the booth helping out as much as I could (we were getting pretty swamped with people at times).

Well, at least they had a Panda there, as the Panther couldn’t go. :stuck_out_tongue:

Awesome,I love tall people. (Since I’m 6’3 myself)

@DDoS wins though, he makes me feel kinda short

Watching @Danda and @DDoS talking to some of the kids was hilarious, as you can imagine.

Seriously, I had to stifle my laughs.
