I attended my first PAX East last weekend and picked up a few gems of quotes from one panel named “The Good. The Bad, The Community Manager/PR Rep. AKA How Keeping it Real Can Go So Wrong.” While I still have yet to recount my whole experience of PAX East, I really enjoyed the panel about community management. One of the panelists, for the sake of time (even when the awesome enforcers let us stay longer), turned the Q&A portion into a lightning-round of questions. Some of these quotes are from that Q&A. Others are from the regular session.
