Let's All Show Our Appreciation For Rowsdower!

[Endersmens]

As many of you may know, Rowsdower will no longer be our Kommunity Manager after Friday. If you didn't know this, check the recent dev notes for his goodbye.

Now, I want this thread to be a tribute to the best Kommunity Manager on the interwebz. The dev notes thread has kinda become this, but I wanted a dedicated thread just for this purpose. Feel free to post anything and everything you wanna say about/to Rowsdower.

I'll start this thing off. Rowsy, you are by far the sole owner of the title "most patient person on Earth," at least in this community. You've dealt with many KSP crisis', put out many fires , and done a superb job keeping this community. Thanks for all your hard work, and you will be missed.

Tribute? he's not dead. He quit and has taken a new job.

[TheCanadianVendingMachine]

Why? We didn't need this for Capt. Skunky, or Damion

[Lhathron the Elf]

I think Rowsdower helped me with one of my first problems with KSP. At the time I was very new to the forums and KSP itself and didn't realize how influential he was.

Thank you, Rowsdower. We will miss you. Good luck in all of your orbital endeavors and orbital rendezvous.

This thread is going sideways already

Tribute? he's not dead. He quit and has taken a new job.

But he's no longer our manager. The tribute is to when he was our manager.

Why? We didn't need this for Capt. Skunky, or Damion

I wasn't here for either of those, so there's your reason why.

I just thought it would be nice for everyone to say something about rowsdower before he left. (i'm sure he'll still be on the forums but you know what I mean)

If you guys are really that against it I can have the thread closed. I just thought this would be a nice little thing to do for him, that's all.

Thanks for everything Rowsdower! You were great, and I thank you for your patience with the fickleness which is the KSP community. My fondest memory is the one devnote after the Curse partnership announcement where your note was simply a link to a picture of several firefighters putting out a fire. Your humor, patience, and openness with the community will be greatly missed. When you first came on as CM, my first thought was that you could never be the same as Damion or Cap'n Skunky (who had been CMs since I first started playing KSP), and you weren't, but everyone is different, and I thank you for everything you have done for the community. From a longtime KSP player, and everyone in the community, we thank you Rowsy. Godspeed, and may your rockets always have the fuel they need!

Rowsdower was the best Community manager I have seen active on the forums. He's also the only one. You handled the Kommunity well, brought it through some hard times, *cough*Curse*cough*, and through some RUD's, but also some great things. Thank you for being the CM.

[The Destroyer]

Wow, it's been a long ride, always liked him. I hope the new CM is just as good!

I've seen a lot of CMs come and go in my time, heh.

Goodbye Rowsdower, you were a great community manager and you had the best avatar ever.

So long Zap, we'll miss your hockeyhair and jean jackets.

[Renegrade]

Thanks and goodbye, Rowsdower!

to the original poster: Geez, the topic made me think he had died. Bad OP, bad!

[Dispatcher]

Good luck in your new job. You will be missed!

[WOODY01]

I would change the topic title. Maybe to,"Show Rowsdower your appreciation", "Thanks for the great work Rowsdower", or something similar.

The title suggests he died, has become a God King or Roman Emperor.

[Superfluous J]

I've liked Rowsdower ever since the first time his name and avatar reminded me of one of my favorite MST3K episodes.

Good luck in your future endeavors, and hopefully we'll still see you around as a player and forum member!

[Wanderfound]

Thanks, Rowsdower. You helped to make this the exception of the internet.

All hail the Mighty God King Rowsdower!

[Bilfr3d]

Goodbye Rowsdower, your avatar(s) were great. Along with your community managing. Good luck on your journey into the future

I vote myself in for the next community manager! Oh... there's a test for that? I vote myself in for not being the next community manager! Who is going to be the next one?

[rkman]

Best community manager ever.

[Uncle Mort]

Never noticed him ~ which probably indicates how good a job he did.

[LostOblivion]

Thanks very much!

[worir4]

Bye Rowsdower, we will miss you.

Who is the guy in his avatar?

[Bloody_looser]

Who is the guy in his avatar?

Zap Rowsdower.

[Frank_G]

To infinity and beyond! Good bye and all the best to you!

[Jarin]

You rode out and helped calm some impressive storms here. You have the patience of a saint. Good luck wherever you end up, Zap.

[Xacktar]

I've liked Rowsdower ever since the first time his name and avatar reminded me of one of my favorite MST3K episodes.

You and me both, 5thHorseman.

I am very sad to hear of his departure! Rowsdower has done a phenomenal job here and has impeccable taste in Minneapolis-made movie critic puppet shows.

I wish you all the best, Mr. Rowsdower. Good luck in whatever comes next!

[BudgetHedgehog]

Farewell Rowsdower! Congrats on your new job! Very sad to see him go though, the guy has the patience of a saint and is just generally a great guy. Will miss his presence here.

Also, surprised to see so many MSTies! He tried to kill me with a forklift!
