Go go Red Frog! Love you guys!

Keep on "Space Trucking" Red Frog :)

Thank you all for your kind words.

I would like to say on behalf of everyone here in Red,Blue and Black Frog we really do enjoy playing a pivotal role in so many people's part of Eve.

We will keep on hauling' on and on .
Fly safe!

Red Frog is incredible service - in EVE usual context !

We'll never forget the contract and API improvements you made, Atlas. They really made things so much better.

Allow me to use this opportunity to ask for two more improvements:

1. The ability to "give" people things from a distance without having to use a contract. Similar to giving ISK, just be able to right click on an item and select "Give to" and it brings up one of those Enter Name fields. Done.

2. The ability to set a corporate-level max/base collateral amount filters on incoming contracts. For example, Red Frog could set a base of 1 isk (to keep people from posting uncollateralized contracts) and a max of 1 billion (Red Frog's max it will accept).

Edit: If you wanted to make a really "uber" courier contract feature, have a built in warning when the collateral is less than the estimated value. Not sure if that's possible, but it would be an incredibly useful feature.

Must say its nice seeing the history in this community spotlight. Raging Taurus and I (different character, Eadeana) ran Dark Cross Industries for a looong time. I actually recruited Locin Weda when he started doing low and nullsec stuff. And a few months later started Black Frog (coughkaaaaaahhhhhhhnncough). What did Dark Cross in was the online tool. We had to manually provide quotes for each contract and we got maybe 50 quote requests a day and couldnt keep up. So eventually Dark Cross failed and Black Frog rose. Then I joined forces to contribute to a successful monopoly of the hauling industry :)

Either way, its a blast. Thank you all for the loyal support over the years

That was M'uva you guys recruited!

When I first started hauling, Raging Taurus -- Dark Cross was the go to losec/nosec hauler. RF partnered with them and sent any inquiries over. I had a very healthy respect for him and his corporation and all the work they had done. When I decided to give Black Frog a go (partially becuase Dark Cross was recruiting the people I wanted to start Black Frog!!), I worked really hard at a merger with Dark Cross and Raging Taurus. We offered him everything, including CEO, total hire/fire control, rules control, and a piece of the action on all contracts (something the Frog doesn't do). We had only one condition, it had to be a Frog name to fit the brand. After almost a month and a half of slow motion negotiations, he ultimately declined the offer. I really wanted to Raging Taurus to become part of the Red Frog story, but it was not to be. We went as far as to keep the Dark Cross link up in our channel after we first opened Black Frog, so that customers still had a choice. Only after we had completed 100 contracts did we take it down.

It's great that at least a piece of that bit of hauling history is preserved with Eadeana as part of Black Frog. I don't think RT plays anymore. o7 Raging Taurus, wherever you are.

Oh whoops, I thought he was the same guy, derrrr Anyway, yeah RT asked my advice on the merger and I told him we should compete lol. So it was probably my fault that didnt happen. But I still see some of RT's alts log in every now and then, so hes still alive I think, just skill swapping :)

But there were def some good memories.

Without Red Frog the pirate life would be a lot more hassle i must say

Estimated value is often bollocks.
