Hey Everyone,

Druid has stepped down from his role as the backbone of our clan. I thought it might be worthwhile to reflect a bit on what he has meant to this clan. He has put in an ungodly amount of work at making MOB what it is today. His sole motivation has seemingly been to enable others to have fun.

Last night offered just the tiniest of glimpses into the kind of selfish acts Druid has performed over the years. It was the second night in which I had struggled to join my fellow clan members as they played on a series of new custom maps. I can't tell you how frustrating it was to listen to the laughter and frivolity as everyone else played together. We even had a number of our COD2 regulars join up simply because everyone was having so much fun.

I don't know if my problem was due to a firewall, or a scripting error on the server, but the bottom line was I couldn't download any of the custom maps and therefore, couldn't join. Druid heard me complaining as I struggled to solve the problem. He immediately took himself out of the game and ftp'd the maps and related files to a place where I could download and install them manually. This was no small task as many of the files were quite large.

Once he had them uploaded, it was only a short time before I was able to join and be killed with reckless abandon! This was one of those moments that make you realize it is really, really cool to belong to a group that enjoys having fun, but more importantly, it made me really appreciate the kinds of things that Druid has done for us over the years.

Thank you, Druid. This place just wouldn't be the same without you around.

Druid has helped me get my PB rights when I got into mob. I have enjoyed several conversations with him about where he lives and works. I really apprieciate everything you do druid. You are extremely knowledgeable about a load of stuff. I know that personal ventures and some things that are finally coming to an end pushed you away. But I really would like to see that Admin tag by your name again! I don't care if you do anything, i'm just used to seeing your posts, reading them and then saying thats why he has true admin rights. But thanks for everything man.

Regards,
Eric

I don't know about this Druid Guys but Real Deal Kick A$$. Druid having more time to game now and hopefully he'll use the Master Key that he's' holding on too. Not gonna be the same without him but he's always there to help out when we needed him. Thank You Buddy!!

Admin tag or not, Druid is a quality act and is always welcome..wherever.

Great Job Druid

OMG-- Sorry guys..I think Druid left because I was PM'ing him everyday...can you do this...can you help with this: And always a polite reply..even when it was a blonde question...LOL

Druid...it's because of you that MOB is what is is..a great group of people: a family. The only nice part now re: your retirement is that we get to enjoy gaming with you. I promise I will send you those screen shots this week!!!

I think he should throw on some Regs tags and just have fun!! (Don't worry, I won't start a poll)... We'll just wait patiently. Thanks Druid for taking so much time for all of us.

Hey Guys, last night was a blast..we should do that more often. (Giddy, Giddy Up)

Everyone Raise Your Glass to a toast to Druid..... Cheers to you from the Cuda family!!

Best of health and happiness always!!

now you have more time for gaming,cya on barb!

Maybe I drop you a question about SH3 some day, Druid......just got it.

Great Job Druid see you on barbarossa

to the true cornerstone of mob! The way you've organized and helped set up this clan, not to mention how gracefully you've defended it as well, has been a true inspiration!

so and come out and have some fun now!

Cheers Druid.

Thanks for all the hard work you've put into this clan!

A few times on matters that didn't need a reply to me from Mr.Druid, he sent me thoughtful pms anyways. It sincerely touched me he'd make those efforts given all the other demanding loads he takes care of here. An inspiring friend indeed.
