Default Thank You Botman - 01-01-2004

With this new year 2004 arising, it's also THE big guy of the scene who bows to the public and retires...

http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~botman/yabb/YaBB.pl

I would like to take this very moment to rally everyone wishing to offer a big
THANK YOU
to the godfather of the Half-Life bot scene:

Jeffrey 'botman' Broome.

Without him, no bots in TFC, no bots in Counter-Strike.
Without him, no HPB_bot. No POD-bot. No RealBot.
Without him no such a community of developers always willing to help each other out, hacking the HL SDK all around the place.

botman, we all owe you a big thanks for keeping alive your forums so long, for your friendliness, your constant advices to newcomers, for being what you were: always the guy to ask to, who has always a kind answer for you. I just hope the story isn't completely over, and that we'll see you often here at Bots United... anyway...

We all unite to wish you a wonderful life full of beer and Barneys, lots of Barneys (and lots of beer too), the best luck in your carreer as a game developer, lots of lines of code, to get married with a gorgeous botwoman if you aren't already and have a lot of little botmans. Don't work too much, also: remember that all work and no play makes botman a dull bot !

God I hope the story isn't completely over: please come here as often as you can !

botman, man, man, we will m*thaf*ck*n miss ya !!!

Thanks guys! I had been thinking of shutting down my forum for several months since the traffic was gradually decreasing and since I didn't have much time anymore to check it everyday with all of the stuff going on here at work (Gearbox). Unfortunetly, I can't discuss what Gearbox is working on right now, but I thought it would be better to make a "clean break" than to let my forum linger and have people posting questions to me that never went answered.

Anyway, change is GOOD! Change makes us grow, learn and experience new things. So don't think of it as a sad thing, think of it as new oppertunity to make something better.
