So long, Shiver. Good Luck, keep in touch, we'll miss you. Thanks for this place, and all your baiting experiences that are an example to us.

...unbelievable...and I thought the "retired" does not mean anything...

All the very best for your future plans, Holy Shiver!

All the best for your future Shiver!
As many around here I have been inspired by the hilarious baits you posted.

Good luck and best health, and come by every now and then to see how we're following your example.

All the best Mike. From a small baiting site back in 2003, you have made this place what it is today. Your baits, your humility and your sense of humour,in good times and in bad, never ceased to impress me and many others here.
Because of this site so many potential scam victims have been saved.
Don't be a stranger.

Umm... *speechless* Sad

Thank you sir for all that you have done to inspire so many to fight internet scammers and educate users of their nefarious ways. RL will be a better place with your full attention.

Come visit any time! Confused

All the best Shiv, hope to see you back when retirement beckons in RL Wink

Posted: Mon Jan 28, 2008 8:14 am

What sad news to start the week! Shocked

Shiver, like many of us, your baits are what first inspired me. Then I was even more impressed to discover the size and talent of the Eater community you helped create. Needless to say you will be missed by everyone, but I know this institution will live on! Enjoy your retirement.

Shiver, you're robbing a certain southern New England merchant of the very reason for his sorry existence.

Have you thought of him?

What will he do now?

Maybe Rover likes twinkies? Confused

All the best Shiver, I hope your new projects go even half as well as this one!

A sad, sad day. Best of luck with whatever you turn your hand (hook?) to. You�ve taken us all on one crazy ride.

Thank you for everything.

Thanks for creating this Monster, Mike.... god bless all who sail in her.

ARRR, we 'ave a new captain!

You're a genuine internet fraud star, it's been a pleasure. Do call in and see your old crew once in a while, all the best.

Sadly all good things must come to an end. Thank you Shiver for inspiring me to bait lads and have no mercy on their worthless souls. Please visit us from time to time.

Posted: Mon Jan 28, 2008 9:17 am

They are screwed aren't they. They will have to think of something original.

Best of luck Shiver, I do hope that you keep on looking in. You will definately be missed.

BTW, who is he?

Well, its the

no doubt ably assisted by

You could have heard

when the announcement was made.
Its been a

But there is a time when every man has to go

and turn over the

I'm sure it'll all go smoothly, and we'll not be too sad

I hope you'll

Finally, from me to you, from all of us.

Wow, very surprising news. Mike, thanks for all you've done, it's been amazing. And still will be thanks to the groundwork you've done.

Best of luck getting back up to speed with your RL commitments...

All the best!

The end of an era. Like many here, you're the reason I started baiting. It just won't be the same without you. You will be sorely missed so, as people have stated, don't be a stranger.
That said, you've left the site in entirely capable hands.

The King is dead!!!
Long live the King!!!!

@Shiver - You have been the inspiration for so many to join this scambaiting malarky.
Thank you for giving us this marvellous community.

Enjoy your retirement..... beers!

Good luck & best wishes, Rover... beers!

Posted: Mon Jan 28, 2008 11:07 am

Good luck, Shiver.
Remember though, there's still many husbands, wives, girlfriends and boyfriends after your blood for encouraging their partners to spend so much time pursuing the hobby you made available to them in 2003.

BTW, I trust that we'll still see you at the Ring O Bells in Warrington on a Friday night.
