Default Bump in Appreciation of Gandalf Parker

Apparently some bozo has ruined Gandalf Parker's day by sending him nasty email over his server crash. Let's drown out this nattering nabob of negativity with a chorus of appreciation for a guy who's services to our community are so numerous and well known that they need not even be enumerated.
Mr. Parker is a much better wizard than that guy in the book.

"There are no gods but Illwinter, and Gandalf is their prophet." You've always been the embodiment of the Dominion community spirit Gandalf -- don't let some changeling and deildergast annoy you.

Seriously folks.. Gandalf has done more for this community than 99.9999% of any of us.

Whomever it is they shall be playing only single player games if their name gets out.

what kind of doosh would do something like that?

it's people like Gandalf that make Dom3 a worthwhile game. without people like him putting in the amounts of personal effort and time that it takes to even create the servers that this game and community depend upon, there would be no Dom3.

I heartily agree with this. It's people like Gandalf and llamabeast who provide server space who keep the MP community alive and who enable it to run as smoothly as it does. We all owe them a debt of gratitude.

They do not deserve abusive asshats getting in their face about it. Let said asshat first run his own server and then maybe he will have some perspective. But I doubt it.

Wow. Just, wow. I laughed, and I want this for a t-shirt. I want a flag with this thing. Can I get a special first page for my manual with this?

OK OK OK.
Thanks all. and I will strive to return to the game.

Now go forth and spread this to all of the other free things you've been gobbling up. Your favorite servers, favorite mods, favorite maps, favorite strategy. Anything being shared for free that you wish the person would do more of.

If people dont do them for money then you might find that "paying" regularly with some appreciation will help to keep things going. For that matter, add free patches and free forums to that list.

Ask and you shall receive..

You forget one of the things I do all day (or should do more of). I pitch "Anyone can" ideas on the net. Such as, anyone can open a free shop with a paint program. I would have had it up about 2 minutes after you said it but I decided I should ask Illwinter first. Then I whipped one off.

Remember me pushing for slogan contest and Shrapnel putting the winning shirt online for us?
