Tell General Howard I know his heart. What he told me before, I have it in my heart. I am tired of fighting. Our Chiefs are killed; Looking Glass is dead, Ta Hool Hool Shute is dead. The old men are all dead. It is the young men who say yes or no. He who led on the young men is dead. It is cold, and we have no blankets; the little children are freezing to death. My people, some of them, have run away to the hills, and have no blankets, no food. No one knows where they are - perhaps freezing to death. I want to have time to look for my children, and see how many of them I can find. Maybe I shall find them among the dead. Hear me, my Chiefs! I am tired; my heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands I will fight no more forever.
I'm really glad you were admin. I really don't think anyone can say you were a bad admin or a bad person. Even if people disagreed with your decisions, it's still so obvious how much you care for the site and it's future which isn't necessarily true for past mods/admins. I think that it will be really tough for anyone to fill your shoes because of how high you set the bar, but ultimately I think that you being admin has made the community a lot closer and stronger which is something that will have a lasting impression on the site. Thank you for all of your time here, and no matter what anyone else says, you did an excellent job.
Well, when the site was in a really bad position, you had a warm attitude about everything and got it all back together. You're a really nice person Dan, and I wish nothing for the best of you in life. Every bit of service you've done here is appreciated.
Dan is the person I will always see as a role model, a friend, and an advisor. You've been of utmost help to me when I first joined the site, you helped me make the move into comp and you recommended me for mentoring. I've always looked up to you because of the way you dealt with people, the way you acknowledged criticism and the way you handled your duties as admin.
I thoroughly support your decision of stepping down, good luck and have fun on your break.
you took everything i said (all the abuses) without getting back at me
you were unshakable
only thing i am mad about now is that you lost interest in moderation and you decided to give this up. I know that i dont want you as admin, but I certainly do not like that you are quitting. I never taught you to quit. You should stick there as long as someone doesn't rip you out of it. I certainly do not want you as admin, because you constantly changed things that didnt need changing. But what I did like that you did it because you thought it was good, and you made it happen.
You were able to convince everybody into doing what you wanted. You were a good leader. Even though you did those things wrong, you got everybody to trust it was right.
You never held any bias against me despite me abusing you all the time for all your stupidity.
I always knew that despite all the things i did to you, if i ever came to you for a favor, you would do it.
Only sign of weakness i saw in you is you quitting. You made things happen without getting pushed.
If you had all the right plans laid down, you would be the one to make it possible.
And yeah, i still think you are dumb. But you are the only dumb person on this site that i respect.
i just want to thank you for all the hard work you have put into the site to keep the community a better place. i'm glad that i didn't just see you as an admin but as a friend.
i wish you the best of luck in life. goodbye, dadmin
