Fangtooth the Murloc, Community Manager for
Blizzard Entertainment, graced the World of Warcraft forums for (I
believe) nearly a year before mysteriously moving on. His
thankless job was to manage we unruly
players and posters, to be the bearer of bad news, to answer gamer
questions as best he could, and to bring us information about new
content. It is my judgment and that of the community a large that
he did these jobs with aplomb and great humor, while delivering the occasional
well-deserved forum troll beat-down much to the cheering of we (mostly)
non-trolls. The following is a short
series of messages from the Albatros Bits community to our titular
Murloc, thanking him for performing his thankless job and wishing him
luck in the moving-up or -out.
Albatros, Author:
Fang, you were the
inspiration for this project, and it's been one of the most fun projects
I've ever undertaken. You helped me out with it in some really
cool ways, you know what I'm talking about (::really annoying obvious
wink::) and I really appreciated it. You've got a great impy sense
of humor, and I hope that it carries you along wherever you are.
Don't change, amigo!
Slinken, forum hound:
All hail to the all powerful
Murloc!
Alec, forum hound:
Thanks for keeping the forums
(mostly) troll free!
Alebak, unregistered forum

Thanks for putting up with my
innane rabblings on the OT forums! we'll miss you dude!
Fat Squirrel, forum squirrel:
Fare thee well Murloc. I
would bow if my expansive girth allowed it.
Nevlonniel, forum muse:
Fangtooth, I wish you the best. You will be sorely missed! I think it was you that
made me to fully appreciating the Murloc. Not a day goes by that I don't
bring out my Murky and think of you. Thanks for all you have done for
the WoW community.
Mortarman178, forum hound:

Sliva, forum hound:
We'll miss you Fangtooth!
Wish you Good Luck in everything you do!
Heloly, forum ninja:
Fang, I may have been a forum
lurker; usually posting things with Palehoof's cynicism, but without his
regularity and eloquence, but I knew thee well and shall miss your
ever-changing signiture and your habitual third-person responses....
*Sniffle* I still remember when Cay hit you witha stuffed forum troll!
WAAAAAAAGH!!!!
/Compose
OK... S'all good, s'all good... I will miss you, my favorite candy-bar
ingredient... Yum... Murloc bars...
*Begins to tear into a box of Murloc Bars™*
Farsider, forum hound:
All the best wishes for
whatever life has in store for you. Your contribution to the community
has been indelible and unforgettable. It goes without saying that you
will be missed.
Koopasa, forum poet:
O good murloc I fare thee

You gave pallys and priests a scare!
Your new pasture I hope is swell!
Always remember how you made Warlocks swear!
Cya Fang!!! I wish Good Luck!
People called names and were gruff!

GURGALUGALUGALUG!

Hederahelix, forum hound:
Best wishes on the new
project; we will miss your erudite messages and the occasional partying
in WOW, even when we didn't believe that it was really you.
Guest, forum n00b:
Fang - one time you locked
me, and you were sarcastic. it hurt at the time, but later on I realized
it was the best thing for both of us.
GOOD LUCK!
Bradin, forum hound:
FANG I LOVE U!!!!!! and wut
could be greener than blizzard?????
u helped make WoW A GREAT game have fun and good luck
Ulkarr, forum hound:
Fang, firstly, thank you for
putting up with all the crap from some of our felow gamers for so long.
Secondly, Your antics and attitude were funny and serious when they
needed to be. And they made my day at times. Your work enriched the
experiance of Wow so much that your reputation as THE Murloc is well
deserved.
Good luck with your future enterpises, and thanks again.
Conclusion
Keep doing your thing, Fang,
and I hope you stay in touch with all the various communities you
inspired (but mostly this one =]). Best of luck, and, we'll always
have Paris!
If anyone wishes to add their
own faretheewell to Fangtooth, go hit up the
forum
thread which I made for that purpose.
