So I looked for the old Vent thread and instead found two threads of interest. The first was the keeeysam thread in which I saw a post by RossMAN telling people not to donate to a new Vent server but instead to Epoman's family. He also managed to take over Epoman's site after his untimely passing. In addition to that he said he would match all donations to the family with the note RossMAN by putting money towards a new Vent server.
That's just one story of one person who Ross helped. There are countless others and there will be more to come in the future I'm sure.
For me personally, Ross has just always been a nice guy. We didn't ever talk at all on here until the coming of Skype, and then we talked a lot on there, TeamSpeak, and ultimately Ventrilo. At the time I believe I was 16, and as much as I thought I wasn't, I was (and maybe still am) an annoying, obnoxious SOB. Yet Ross (and MrsHoneybee, who I had the pleasure of making acquaintance with during this time period) always put up with it and good times were had.
I've always been a proud supporter of RossMAN, and even further testament to him being a good guy is that he got ActuaryTM to come back and post. (And it was an awesome post, "Tim." ) What's frustrating is how humble he is 99% of the time.
Here's to RossMAN. :beer:
