Our (as in ENWorld's) tribute to Gary

[Epic Meepo]

Thanks, Michael.

And before anyone wastes an hour of their life hunting it down, I did forget to block Gary's own screen name ( Col_Pladoh ) from being displayed in the list - so it's in there somewhere.

In a way, the invented Col_Pladoh was Gary's "player character" here at ENWorld, so I think it only appropriate that Col_Pladoh was there to send him off.

Thanks very much for doing this, it was an amazing gesture. I got all choked up again reading the banner. Good work.

Thanks Michael,

a much appreciated tribute from those of us far away who could not be present in body.

(On another note, wow, it was quite a thing to see how many people have joined since the early days since it was in order.)

From the first post in this thread:

I am going to print a poster measuring 40" across by however long it takes to display the users with at least 10 posts that have not been banned. (Sorry lurkers, but there isn't enough room to print all 60,000 names - as it is the thing will be about 6-7' high)

Thank you very much Michael for the nice gesture.

My only contribution to D&D was no more that some GMed games and maybe bringing some one into the game.

Still, I think D&D had been a part of my life, and the source of hours of enjoyment.

I can only say that I'm honoured to be displayed in that list.

I wonder how many spambots, if any, made the list.....

 

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

I wonder how many spambots, if any, made the list.....

Since they rarely have more than 10 posts and usually get banned...I'd expect none.

I know the printer personally so I only had to pay cost of materials with no upcharge - about $150 with the overnight shipping costs included. Don't worry about it though - I earn enough in my work to afford such an expenditure.

Michael many thanks for putting that poster together and sending it one. I initially had posted a message here for Gary and then wasn't able to get back into this site so I didn't know about this effort.

But, I saw the poster at the funeral and was blown away - as you know it was huge and very impressive. Everybody was checking it out.

I recognized many names but didn't look at it too much as others wished to have a gaze.

And it wasn't until moments ago I saw my screen ID on it.

Very well done!
