Wow, that has to be the trippiest farewell message in the history of the Org. I'm just talkin' about the visuals, here.

Fare thee well, Beirut, and I speak for all and sundry when I say that we hope you stop back from time to time.

Hate to see you go, Beirut.

I'd like to say that to me, you were one of those personalities that made me realise that the Org is more then just some fansite to get information about a certain game.

You are one of those people that made me stay at this wonderful place full of joy and therefore I thank you :bow:

Enjoy Real Life, take care and best of luck :2thumbsup:

And a wonderful person as you, should only leave the building accompanied with a big fat thank you and a dito applause!

Oh snap, no more Beirut? Tis truly a shame. Your prescence, and your axe, shall truly be missed.

Farewell, dear man.

Now, Gentlemen. The feared axe is gone. On the count of 3, anarchy.

Well, I wish you luck with real life and it's pursuits. Have fun!

No more axed threads? Oh noes what ever shall I dooooo... and no more warnings either... hmmm maybe this could be a good thing... But what am I saying, you'll be missed

Banquo's Ghost

07-21-2008, 18:57

It is strange how the parting of a man who one has never met can bring sadness and a sense of loss. Yet what a spirit is leaving us!

Beirut, you have been one of the magnificent role-models here, a man's man and an inspiration. I have been privileged to know you both as a member and a staffer, and enjoyed the exchange of views both public and private. Together with Kukri, you have been one of the people to whom I have felt most close and would claim, however presumptuously, as a friend.

Along with BKS, you have guided this Frontroom and the members who enjoy it towards greatness. It is founded on decency and respect, two virtues that you so embody. Wherever you touch in the Org, it has been illuminated.

We will miss you.

I shall miss you.

Take care and I hope with everyone that you will visit us when possible.

:bow:

Martok

07-21-2008, 19:00

Wow. Definitely didn't see this coming. ~:eek: :cry:

Take care, Beirut. I freely admit I'm sad to see you go; you've been a rock, one of the great cornerstones of the Org since you've joined up. You're a good -- nay, a great -- man, and the Frontroom will be a lesser place without you (although I'm exceedingly glad that at least BKS will still be around). As everyone else has said, I do hope you'll at least stop back in now and then.

For now, though, I bid you adieu. Good-bye to my favorite lumberjack and Canadian; I hope that life continues to treat you well. ~:cheers:

EDIT: I echo much of what Banquo's Ghost said. (As always, BG, you are the soul of eloquence. :bow: )

07-21-2008, 21:16

Wow. Beirut, I can only echo what others have said - you will be missed. Your impact on the Frontroom and we patrons has been significant. I hope this just means a reduced presence as a regular (senior!) member and not a complete absence. I'm sure this wasn't an easy decision for you - it is tough to walk away from something you care about. I went through the same thing a couple of years ago. Best of luck to you in real life. I hope you and your axe don't become strangers 'round these parts.

I bet you didn't want to be a moderator anyway...you're a lumberjack and you're okay (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4LnDTlQtXA&feature=related)...

Okay, that was a bit lame and overdone, but somebody was bound to do it in this thread. :laugh4:

Oh, I nearly forgot: Beirut, thank you for everything you've done for the Org and its patrons. You honoured us with your service. :bow:

Geoffrey S

07-21-2008, 21:31

Well. I certainly can't imagine the Frontroom without Beirut. Firm but eminently fair moderator, always a friendly presence. I hope the reasons for leaving are pleasant ones, and wish you all the best!

You will be missed!

Damn, i was hoping this was just a misleading topic title, especially when i saw the author.

Always entertaining or intresting i remember amusing comments whilst topics are shut and warning points handed out, and some intresting storys.... i was going to say ill never forget the one about your dog, but i only remember the jist of it and that it was a pretty emotional story.

Hope you come back a lot! and heres hoping your replacement is half as entertaining, Peace (hippy emoticon needed here)

May the wind be always at your back, and may the trees always fall the way you plan it.

I hope to see you around these parts again, but until then, take good care of yourself.

Couldn't have said it better than myself!

Take it easy B, and you will be missed...tho we all know you'll drop by every now and again~;)

Good God, it's a genuine farewell to your virtual arms and online friends.

I will greatly miss you, dear chum. Not just because of your sense of humor, great use of smileys and sunny Frontroom moderation. I will miss you most of all for your well-reasoned, consistent and dogged (pun intended) Backroom posts about the Middle East, about WWII, Canadian politics, ethical issues and various other subjects.

Well, I suppose all good things must come to an end, what-what?

Can't remember a time when you weren't a moderator here, but I guess real life does sort of catch up with you at times.

Good luck with whatever you'll be doing, and do make sure to come back at one point or the other.

The entire Org owes you a debt of gratitude for your brilliant service cheerfully and dutifully rendered day after day, week after week, year after year. You've been an inspiration to us all.

I join Banquo's Ghost and the others in taking the liberty of flattering myself by calling you "friend".

Respectfully,

:bow:

07-22-2008, 15:52

Wow, much has been said that I couldn't hope to match in eloquence. I'll just add my own sincere "Thank you" to the resounding chorus already happening. You made the Org a fun place to be a member. Take care of yourself and your family, hopefully someday you'll find your way back here. Until then...

This is a quite shocking and unexpected departure. Beirut, in my eyes you were always one of the best contributers and mods. Always keeping this sub-forum pleasant and freindly. I remember you were just made assistant-moderator when I came to the frontroom. It seems like only yesterday, tough I guess it must be more than 2 or perhaps already 3 years ago. Therefore I mean it when I say that I shall also miss you around these parts. Hopefully you will drop by from time to time. Anyhow my best wishes and good luck to my favourite lumberjack!

But, I have to say this:

Goodbye Beirut. You will be missed in these parts, especially in the Frontroom.

Axes, of all type, will never be the same again, be it in MTW or in real life. Beirut, on my personal part, I wish you all the best in the future, best wishes for your family too, for your axe, for your personal Floyd collection, and may we meet again if not on the Org, on a Flight Simulator XI online server, each with his own lovely Cessna. ~:) :yes: :balloon2:

Thank you very much Beirut for what have you done for the Org. The entire community will surely miss your warnings, jokes, axe again, but most of all, your cheerie spirit. ~:cheers:

Godspeed to you my friend. :bow:

You know where to find it when the time is right. I'm definitly going to miss your axe, which you always threathened my with, or the whip which you always hit me with, or the admin shortened lease you always choked my with... come to think of it...
