Is it time to say goodbye to a valued mentor?

[Moonbear]

Hi folks.

After many years here, I'm resigning my mentor title and leaving the forum. I've had a lot of fun here and made a lot of friendships among the membership here.

Don't worry, I'm not dying or anything, just reevaluating my priorities, and unfortunately, PF cannot be one of them anymore.

I wish you all well. I'll miss a lot of people here.

 

[Doc Al]

WTF is going on here?

You can't go, Moonbear.

 

[RonL]

Who thinks OLD men can't be heart broken ??

Best wishes for whatever you do.

 

[dlgoff]

This is a real shock.

 

[G01]

Unfortunately, I think your serious.

Moonbear, your one of the shining lights of this forum. Very few members come close in making a contribution to PF that is as large as yours has been.

I hope you reconsider your decision, but if not, good luck to you. I wish you the best.

 

[turbo]

What a sad day...

 

[Kurdt]

I hope you're not going for good Moonie. You can pop in from time to time?

 

[Borek]

leaving the forum

You mean like "click, the lights go off"? Like "I will never browse nor comment on anything"? I don't get it

Good luck, if you will ever need some wicked advice, you know the URL.

Ditto.

But thanks for your services as a mentor. :)

 

[matthyaouw]

Aw

Best of luck with whatever you do.

 

[brewnog]

She's bluffing. She must be bluffing. Moonbum, are you bluffing? I can understand the resignation of mentorness, but leaving completely?

We demand an explanation!

 

[Danger]

Jeez, Moonie... this is a kicker. It's nice to hear that your life is going so well, but we'll certainly miss you. Hang onto my e-mail address.

 

[hypatia]

I hope this means you get to have a little more fun, and a lot more romance. Thanks for all you have done:!) We will always love ya!

 

[moe darklight]

this I was not expecting. what's happening.

Bye Moonbear! Good Luck!

 

[tiny-tim]

waah!

 

[Redbelly98]

Wow. Good luck Moonbear!

Thanks for giving me my sole infraction - otherwise I appreciate the advice that you posted to some of my posts. I wish you a very happy future - probably career related.

 

[Lisa!]

Good luck, Moonie!

 

[LowlyPion]

Sorry to see your voice go silent here. I think you have provided a really sound perspective. Surely we can hope you won't be totally silent.

But best of luck regardless in whatever draws you away, and in whatever is to be writ in your next chapter.

 

[Cyrus]

NOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...

 

[binzing]

I concur with Cyrus...Good luck with all you should choose to do.

I never did find out your nick from the Dr. Neutrino forum.

Perhaps we will meet again in another 12 years.

Godspeed.

 

[Integral]

Moonbear,
I have noted your absence over the last few days. I am very sorry to hear this, it is a sad day indeed.
Good luck to you.

Integral

 

[Defennder]

Really sorry to see you leave, Moonbear. Hope you'll be able to pop back in from time to time, even if it's just once a month or so.

 

[physics girl phd]

Thanks for all the good discussions, and good luck with all your pursuits.

 

[Lisa!]

Has she left us for good?I really can't imagine PF without her!

 

[BobG]

Hi folks.

I wish you all well. I'll miss a lot of people here.

I'll miss you.

 

[D H]

I'll miss you, too. Good luck, Moonie!

 

[~christina~]

I'll miss your sheep chat.

 

[DaveC426913]

I am stunned.

And sad.

 

[GeorginaS]

I'll just say, yes, what everyone else said.

 

[maze]

People who leave a forum they've been involved in do so by posting less and less over time, slowly becoming lurkers, and eventually just stop coming. People who make a "definitive" goodbye post almost never leave like that. It just doesn't happen. She'll be back within a couple months.

 

[marcus]

Ave atque vale, ursa lunae.
We were lucky to have you.

 

[mcknia07]

We are truly going to miss her. I miss her already, and I had no clue she was planning one leaving us all. Well, good luck to her and all that in her future, and we hope to see her around sometimes still.

 

[fuzzyfelt]

farewell

 

[tribdog]

Somebody knows what is going on. start talking. did she get in trouble at work for spending so much time here? Did she get in a fight with someone? Did she think I wasn't coming back? someone start talking.

 

[Hurkyl]

If she wanted to say, she would have said.

If Moonbear would have wanted to tell you what went on, she would have. Somethings just aren't for public consumption.

Edit: Get out of my head Hurkyl!

 

[Defennder]

Well I think that there's probably some unfortunate reason why she left and I do not think it is particularly pleasant. I haven't come across any forum when an established forum member (and a admin/mentor at that) leaves abruptly without explanation. And it appears to be an indefinite leave of absence. Probably other more established members of the forum knows the real reason behind her departure but they aren't saying.

 

[tribdog]

I was banned when she left or I think she would have told me. She would have at least said goodbye.
And since when is asking about someone here "public consumption" she isn't public, she's family.

Even though you were banned she could have sent you a PM if she had wanted to. Obviously she didn't, ergo she didn't want to tell you. Get over it.

Since this forum is viewable by the general public anything discussed on here is for "Public consumption".

 

[tribdog]

Fine, its forgotten. No need to be rude about it. Just because you are a mentor shouldn't give you the right to be rude. I care about moonbear and what happens to her and I think PF is a better place with her in it. I apologize if my showing concern for someone has upset you. I'll just ignore the fact that she is gone because not talking about something makes it disappear.
I remember when my puppy died. I asked my dad what happened and he said "get over it." compassion is so over rated.
