The final days of Milksama

from Stardock Forums

For those that have been around for a long time and/or have used Stardock Support even once you have likely heard of Mike aka Milksama.

On this day July 28th in the year 2008 Milksama ascends from support into the realm of Developer.

You may or may not have heard that Milksama has been coding on the side for some time with Stardock. Having been with the company near three years now he has paid his dues and is being raised from the proverbial "front lines".

We shall miss Mike in the trenches (though we will often pimp him for his knowledge I am certain) but we wish the very best to him and wish to congratulate him very publicly. Please join with me and make the guilt.... I mean praise, thick... er strong, yeah strong.


Congratulations Mike!    :CONGRAT:

May be this is strange but I'm happy and sad simultaneously...

Why I'm sad? Because Stardock Support will lose this GREAT MAN!

And I'm really happy that Mike will make more interesting and important work. Take my Heartly Congratulations Mike! You are one of the best here! No doubt!

Thanks for the hard work Mike, even when problems fixed Mike often followed up a few days later checking stuff stayed fixed.
I hope you get huge pay rise too for your new position. :CONGRAT:

Yes, and no. The basement is a dungeon and we use it as such ;)

You know he is a developer now. Technically he doesn't have to be all that nice... or do anything at all. A new approach is needed :)

Yes I know. I crave attention. I just wanted everyone to see the post. I have never belonged to a forum "community" and actually thought of it as such. However I know that people around here genuinely care for one another and we all like to see each other do well. I also have a short attention span and I know "Drama Titles" capture it. :)

May be this is strange but I'm happy and sad simultaneously...

It's true and well said.



Thank you everyone for your out pouring of good wishes to Mike. I think you really got to him on this one. :)
