Re: Mike Kulas retires from Volition
According to the article, :v: started up in 1996.  Though I suppose that could be incorrect.

I don't know if I should say something usually used in this situation, but it'll certainly make me look like a fool if I did.

Re: Mike Kulas retires from Volition

I'm hoping against hope that should Mike Kulas truly not have anything better to do with his time than to come here, that he won't get flooded with a spam of well intentioned and overly eager people dog-piling on him in jubilation.

Cause if it were me, I'd be running the other way.

Yes, the man is awesome. I personally owe him a great deal for having created Descent and FreeSpace. I wouldn't have met the people in my life if not for them. And point of fact, I probably wouldn't be alive if not for them. If I could, I'd pay for that man to have himself and his family for a vacation spot anywhere in the world. Or at the least, buy them a really nice dinner. But if the Interview debacle is anything to go by, I'd much rather that he enjoy his plans, whatever they are, rather than being subjected to the worst of us.

That being said, it would be awesome to hear a thought or two from him on what we've all done, if he was inclined to share his opinion on the matter. But I'd rather like to think that whatever he is doing, it's a lot of fun for him or at the least, what he's been wanting to do for a while.

Re: Mike Kulas retires from Volition
I suppose the way round the flood of messages, especially if there was prior contact with the site's admins would be a Welcome Mike Kulas thread for the purpose of such fan spam which he can then browse as he wished, It would work better if he signed up with a non specific user name and didnt let on who he was for a few months to let the hysteria and guessing games die down.

I understand this derides the conversation, but you sir, have no taste.

More importantly, cheers for Mr. Kulas.

Re: Mike Kulas retires from Volition
 A few months?? Why not tonight?  I'll see if I can find an email address for him.

Re: Mike Kulas retires from Volition
Hey! I said email address! Not phone number... That ranks far less creepy on the creeper meter.

I wonder if he isn't already here, under some obscure forum name... Maybe he's one of the mods. Hmmm... Perhaps even one of the Blue Planet folks!!

It's still pretty creepy.

Especially if it comes from some random forum member.
