We still miss him, also, but I cannot begin to understand how it must be for you. Thoughts are with you always - we think of Doug AND you all the time.

I feel like I should reply, and at the same time what can I say? It's been a long time since I was here, and longer still since I last saw Doug.
When I returned to playing pool one of my first thoughts was of RSB and the fun we used to have. I miss Doug and the way he always brought a smile to everyone's face. He was a great man Barb, we all miss him.

i was known here as a hot head, but be warned i am also really, really smart and really, really truthful...
here's the deal - just so you know smorgie
AZ has let you fall to the 15th position of GREEN!!!!
after all you gave here, and even died here, nobody is showing the respect you deserve - i'm appalled
smorgie, i came here to tell you something and i want to share it with you my old friend even through the above heartache:
i just became a grandfather my friend!
Mike, Brandy, Dave - i am so shocked - this is a shame for all of us
just my opinion - smorgie should always be the Rep King! PERIOD!!!!
wish you all well,
smokey

Miles,
Our friend, Tampa-Tubby-Bob-SmorgassBored-Doug had fun with REP and for those of us who knew him he will always be the KING OF REP.
Many of the new people will never know of Doug or the joy he brought to many of us with his wit and charm. It is what it is.
Our memory of Doug will last as long as we last and that's about it. He wasn't immortal and neither are we.
In his last days, he confided in me that he no longer cared about REP, the forum or anything else that previously mattered to him, except for his wife Barbara. It was the illnesses that beat him down at the end and they will beat us all down in the end as well.
Don't beat yourself up because he can't be kept at his elevated position as KING OF REP. He will always be the KING OF REP in our eyes.
Thanks for remembering a really nice guy.
And congratulations on becoming a grandfather! 
Your friend,

Smokey,
Through the recent efforts of quite a few people Smorg is forever tied for #1 in rep unless the software itself is changed. Everyone who has limited out the rep counter is now listed in alphabetical order when you sort by rep. Smorg hasn't fallen in rep at all, he is at the very top!
What you could do is talk to Admin or start a petition to have Smorgass Bored's name changed to !!!!!! Smorgass Bored !!!!!! For some reason I guess because it is the shifted character for the number 1, exclamation marks are the top of the heap in alphabetical order here, the more of them the better in the beginning of a name.
I don't think that Smorg had too much over a million points when we lost him. He now has over 2.147 billion points. He isn't forgotten!

I should add for Hu, Smog is on top of the list, He is once again the rep King. I am using my 2.+ billion to keep him pumped up there...........

Happy Birthday, Smorgie. It's raining cats and dogs today. You are on my mind and I do miss your friendship. My daughter and I will be celebrating her birthday today by going out to dinner at Clyde's in Georgetown. You will be with me in spirit, my friend.
RIP! Save me a place on the rail in heaven!

Barbara, I hope you're ok today. None of us misses Doug the way you do, but we miss him all the same. Take care.

In the hearts of many, he still is! Thanks you two  ... starting out the day and the week thinking of the "Big Fish" and his many words of wisdom will hopefully enable me to keep a positive outlook.
