Grovelbot: Should he return, stay in retirement, meh ?



For you newbies, when DU used to have donation drives, Grovelbot was the mascot. We all had a chuckle (I think) and pitched in. The donation drives stopped a few years ago. I know the drives were more work for the admins, but damn I enjoyed them. Of course, you can donate to DU at any time!

What do you think ? Bring him back ? Keep him in retirement ? Meh ? Other ?

I remember him popping up with something outrageous (considering the thread at hand) during a discussion of my brother's funeral - it made me laugh out loud

I know Gravelbot was a beta, but still, to ruthlessly toss him out.
Or
did they send him to....gasp...recycle heaven?

Didn't even have an account, but I remember him. I also remember the holdouts, the people that refused to leave DU2. I'd say bring him back!

Bringing back the grovelbot to new DU would be a disservice to the memory and to grovelbot.
