Well, maybe if you used his correct initials and asked nicely, he'd hang around a bit. :-) Of course, it is hard for him to monitor this site all the time and be active over there.

He proposes games then runs away.

I have it on good authority that his daytimes have gotten really busy as he has been made technical lead on two very large clients overseeing 4-6 developers each plus his regular workload of 4 or 5 clients all wanting his time and energy.

He baits meep then cowers at the other mods corrections. You wouldn't respect him draug, he's nothing like you. You would have gotten in their face and told them what was what

How can we thank someone for doing a thankless job? Now there's a paradox.

Thanks abge for doing an unthankless task.

Well Phil, he respects the mods more than I. He also respects that the community over there doesn't appreciate grating posts and profantiy filled invictives like they do here.

Hahahaha ... Ok you win that one draug, +1 Every now and then you get it, and you should be positively incentivized for that.

But really, you proposed an Ankara Crecent game that I couldn't afford - being quite new there still - and I even played along with the few good men reference, then you disappeared. I'm still up for a crazy ass AC game there if you are. But it'll have to be for like 10 . Jmo mentioned an interest as well as he has yet to play a game there. And we know that CF, Achilles, Mapu, facses are there as well. That's seven. And if some of them aren't up for it, there are plenty more that are o ly there who would be. Let's get a game going. You Can't Handle the Crecent!

I could go for it still, but need 48 hour phases. As long as we password it, 10 is fine.

Ok, should I start it or are you going to? I think "You can't handle the Crecent" is a brilliant name, but if your going to create it, obviously it's your choice.

wow, goldfinger gave me some D, 1st time I do not 'lose' D 'cuase of cheats wow - too weird Have a Nice Day eh eh hahhaah :D

What about a Webdip 'Hall of Fame' Badge ..... a badge money can't buy. abge could be the first, a bit like the UK honours system, we could call him Sir abge
Remember when it finally happens you heard it here first, the 'campaign with the champagne'
- Draug4Mod Campaign 2013

Phil you can create it with that name but give me a couple.days to get over there and join.

Thanks for all your help over the years, abge, and best of luck in your future endeavors.

@abge: Sorry to hear you're retiring. You've always given fair and balanced judgments and advice. Relax In Peace.

@Octavious: "The Draugs don't work, they just make it worse." +1
Ok. Bring it on, Draug!

I'm in the crescent! PM me the link when its up.

@Nigee: I agree with the HOF idea, but 'Sir' doesn't sound quite right. What about 'Dipmeister'? Other suggestions?
ps Where's the champagne? I've earned one glass already.

What about something simple, yet elegant. "General"

Abge you've been the beating heart of this website for over a year without recognition or reward. You're the best kind of person. Thank you.

That's General Abgemacht from now on. So it is written.

+1 to abge for his hard work
-1 to zultar for making a threat that is ultimately about his self-glorification lol

jimgov, you misspelled "General Abgemacht the retired supermod"

I stand corrected.

Can Abge's last symbolic act of service be a permanent silence of blankflag? It would be very fitting of the rest of his work: making all of us happier.

Fergie retires at Old Trafford, abge at Webdip, coincidence, I think not......

Thanks for your work, Abge. :-)

Thanks man, this place won't be the same without you
