==Bashiok at Blizzard==[[File:Bashiok caricature.jpg|thumb|right|A caricature Bashiok has in his office.]]Prior to becoming the first Diablo 3 CM, Bashiok was a community manager for [[World of WarCraft]], posting with the forum name "Drysc". During late 2008 and all of 2009 Bashiok was often the most visible member of the Diablo 3 team, as the only D3 community manager and a regular presence in the Battle.net forums. He is also the chief operator of Blizzard's official Diablo [http://www.twitter.com/diablo Twitter] and [http://www.facebook.com/twitter Facebook] pages. During the final stages of the [[StarCraft II]] beta, around June 2010, Bashiok also took on an active role in the StarCraft II forums, answering questions and making funny comments. He kind of replaced [[Karune]], who had at the time not been seen in a visible position for a long time.
