I'm Free!

[Snake_byte]

Thank you for your hard work and dedication.

[Vega]

We love you, Doug! And we thank you!!

But, seriously, pink??? I'll be angry with a pink retirement! They are true, red suited you best.

(I love your shepherd charge. It makes me think on some kind of spiritual guide, oh, great Doug, leading us, poor naives cantrians... xDDDDDD)

[Snickie]

Technically, since you're the Shepherd and Shepherding is RD, shouldn't your name be that pastel red-pink that most other members of RD have? Or does the fuschia from Admin Emeritus automatically override that? Just curious.

We hope you enjoy your retirement but do consider coming back so we can all bother you with our problems and worship your near-omniscience.

It's a long deserved rest, and I'm sure you will find, sooner than later, something to get your mind busy again.
Didn't you have some other projects lying in the depths of some forgotten drawer...?

You will be very, very missed. Thank you for everything you've done for this game, and its players.

[Henkie]

No matter what the facts say, Doug, you're still the true shepherd in name and glory. Thanks for everything!

[cantrfan]

Thanks for all the years of hard work and dedication to Cantr and it's players.

Now that you're free and you have almost all the time in the world now compared to what you had when you were on GAB, you should come join us crazy people on the IRC.

[Doug R.]

Ugh. Sorry. I've always hated the irc. I can barely imagine fewer meaningless wastes of time. If you see me there, it's either on staff business, or I'm incredibly bored. Like, making an inadvisable new character bored.

[Black Canyon]

Wait... is this the same IRC that I pop into occasionally? I have never seen anyone actually chat in there. A long list of Idlers, no one talking.

(And yes... it's only when I'm really bored)

[Doug R.]

Wait... is this the same IRC that I pop into occasionally? I have never seen anyone actually chat in there. A long list of Idlers, no one talking.

Ditto.

[Snickie]

It's because you guys haven't been in there when I'm in a chatty mood.

It's okay. You don't have to. It just means we have one more thing we can talk about while we're in there.

[Doug R.]

BC, we should make an official Cantr Old Farts Club specifically for former admins. We can invite Netty and Surly. And Wichita, if he's still lurking out there somewhere.

[Black Canyon]

Haha! I picture a bunch of old geezers sitting around drinking malt liquor and cheap wine, smoking cigarettes and talking about the good old days when we only had 200 minutes.

Wait... no....that's my living room on a late Saturday night.

[Doug R.]

Sounds like a VFW.

200 minutes. I remember logging out after each line just to conserve minutes. What a major pain in the ass that was.

[Black Canyon]

I applaud whoever finally made that change. Definitely a good move
