About the Community Manager Position

Given that Roborons has stated he has decided to step away from this project because Simutrans introduced code written by AI, I was wondering if we could take this opportunity to have an agent take over future communications and event planning. After all, this work cannot be left unattended for long, as that could have a serious negative impact on the project's visibility and activity levels.

What do you all think?

I don't think that's the reason. It's more of an indirect effect: development has accelerated to such an extent that staying up to date takes a lot more time. I notice this myself. In the past, there would be no activity on Simutrans for months, whereas now you have to spend time almost every day just to keep up with the forum. It requires more time than he wants to devote to Simutrans.

The question naturally arises as to who will carry out the work Roboron has previously carefully handled do it in the future.
I don't think an AI can or should take that over. Keeping an eye on this requires a human being. The question, of course, is who will do it.
Before Roboron, Steam wasn't maintained for years; I'm afraid that's going to happen again.
