It's always heartwarming to see former active community members and *DBL players reaching out to me after decades. Recently I had quite a long chat with *DAMN Executioner, which was celebrating his honey moon in Italy the last two weeks. Before that I met James (I can't remember his GameRanger name right now) by accident in the lobby of a Ground Branch game where he shouted "Are you the Mauti from *DAMN!!!???" and today z][t Acri contacted my on Twitter, where I replied to a Twitter suggested post about old school webdesign with a screenshot of the *DAMN R6 website.

It's really great that *DAMN and the *DBL created so many lasting memories 💕.

Hehe, well let's see how long I can keep this site and especially forum up. It already relies on so many deprecated stuff and  especially for long unsupported php versions that it's just a question of time until they shut the server support down.

In 25 years I'm probably already enjoying my retirement  .

Last but not least it's great to hear from you!

Congrats Mauti,

Can't believe you're still keeping this up but it's cool to get some old nostalgia in.

Keep doing your thing man...maybe i'll check in again in another 25 years 

 

OMG, today *DAMN R6 turns 25 years old  !!!

Thank you all for the awesome memories and countless hours together online .

All the best and greetings from Vienna!

Yours  ,

*DAMN Mauti

Hi BFG, thank you very much.

Although as red head I become more blonde and not grey I think I aged at least 10 years in the last 2. And with Zita and Egon, who was born on 15th of August btw, I can tell you 1+1 ain't 2. But it's becoming better each day . On the other side my wife always says love is like a yeast dough, it can only become more. And she is right. It's tough and yet there is nothing better than having your own little family. But 2 is enough for us, my car and my appartment.

All the best from Vienna,

Mauti

Congratulations mate! One has been quite enough for me - going too grey already

Antoher year, *DAMN's 24th anniversary and soon to be again father  (coming in early August). I can't keep up that pace for the 25th anniversay  .

Hope you are all doing fine.

Cheers and stay safe,

Mauti

Hi Hologram,

that's awesome. Congratulations. Und ja du hast recht sie werden verdammt schnell groß.

Alles Liebe aus Wien,

Mauti

Hey Mauti, this sounds great. This year our family grew up to 6. my oldest boy is 6 right now, my youngest girl is 4 months old ( 2 boys,  2 girls  ) It is a great journey. Genieße die Zeit mit der Kleinen, sie ist soooo schnell vorbei.

Grüße aus dem schönen Katlsbad.

Haha, thanks BFG. Don't spoil anything, I'm just happy when I get some kind of normal sleep cycle back.

Zita was already sleeping through from 22:30 - 5 from 1,5m til 4m. Then I had to learn the hard way, that everything is just a phase, 'cos since her "toothache" (she still doesn't have any teeth with her 10months) started everything went down the hill again and since the end April I have to get up about 3 - 4 times a night.

Otherwise it's just one wonderful journey  .

Awesome, with 4 you might be be able to play already Super Mario with her!? Love it and greetings to you and your family.

All the best,

Mauti
