We Come to the End of an Era, and as Heroes Fall, Legends are Born - posted by unclesalty 12 hours ago [Discuss]
There is no such thing as a constant in this digital world we call home. Torrents change, IPs change, tastes change as movies come and go, and sadly so do friends, mentors, leaders and colleagues.
Today I have a sad duty; as some of the more astute members have probably realized, the staff ranks have thinned, and with this thinning, has come a sadness.
First, we bid adieu to Fae, after over a year of service, his woodland brethren have called him back to their bosom. I hope my friend, you are frolicking in the forest of the real world with all the wonders that it brings.
Next, we say farewell to Krups, he has percolated his way to our hearts, and we will miss his energizing presence. Fare the well my friend, keep your reservoir full and your may your beans be as finely ground as those of the Gods.
Finally, and I write this with the heaviest of hearts, my dear friend Halfang has been over taken with real life and has left us all to the emptiness that his majesty will surely leave in it's wake. Defining himself as an institution, Halfy has been here, seemingly, as long as there's been a here (I know not really, but damn close). There are few that have had an impact on this place as deeply and persistent as Halfang. Not only has he performed his staff duties, but above and beyond that his work in these forms have helped forge the identity of the community, he's a rare mold, a maverick shucked the shackles and chains of conformity and did things in his own way, and in doing so, found a better way for our community to grow and communicate. Halfang, my dear friend, I will miss working with you, I will miss your silliness, and I will most of all, miss your grace. See you in the spam threads my friend, see you in the spam threads.
There is more news coming soon, but these 3 wonderful people have earned their moment, and deserve a fond farewell. Please stop by the thread and say a few words for each.
