Short version:
He is a huge GT fan. He already works for sony. He used to be a community manager for Zipper Interactive and did an amazing job. Maybe just maybe if we vocalized this to sony it could be within the realm of possibility.
Full version:
If you don't know who he is. He was the head of the playstation team at IGN for a long time and the host of Podcast Beyond(the playstation podcast). He loves GT, He's a huge fan of the series. Then, he got downsized by IGN during a series of mass layoffs. But he landed on his feet as a community manager for Zipper Interactive, the makers of the SOCOM series. He co-hosted the Zipper podcast which was a great source of regular info about the games they were making at the time going from MAG to SOCOM 4. He was great at interacting with fans over twitter I think he probably responded to every question I ever asked. Now regardless of how those games were received, he wasn't on the dev team so you cant place any of that blame on him there. After SOCOM 4 bombed Zipper got shut down. Now I am not sure what hes doing now but his twitter profile says he does stuff for Playstation.com so he still works for sony. Alot of things seem to line up here. I know most of us are just begging for anyone to represent the GT community in an official capacity. I think Chris Roper would be a great fit.
Does anyone else here think that this would be a good idea? If you do please like this post!
EDIT: Some people are mistakingly thinking that I am suggesting that Chris Roper replace Jordan as Head of GTP I am in fact suggesting that Roper as a sony employee be tasked with interacting with the GT fanbase on an official level feeding us information and interacting with us ect.
And others would suggest that Jordan be given that role which would be great too but I think that he is doing great work operating this wonderful fansite.
