Bear. Achat, VL, Short Notes and Things

Have a good time, make the right decisions and enjoy your life, even the problems and challenges.

And don’t forget to come back….

😉

See you Bear!

Absolutely understandable. Happy Holidays and come back soon.

Hi Bear, are you back? Or was it just for today?

No matter. Nice to read your posts again. Hope, you brought everything to a good end!

Bizarre turns… seems like you’ve been on an adventure of some sorts and welcome back. 🙂

To Bear. Thank You.

Since I was unable to post in the Forum News topic, I will put this here… complete with Bear’s post.
As I am sure there are others who would like to post a few words of thanks.

Over the past 18 months I have found that my capacity to be an active participant as a forum moderator increasingly difficult. hence I have decided to tender my resignation to tom and suzy and the forum moderators that effective immediately I will no longer be a forum moderator.

That said I desire to give my thanks, to tom and suzy for taking a bold step and instilling active forum members as moderators. My thanks to Lover, Tightfit and Keiko, who volunteered to step forth and do this with me and face the initial firestorm of what was then not a popular idea.

I wish to give gratitude to Lover for his unending devotion to the banner of Achat, he worked tirelessly to the creation of the structuret within the forum that we have today. His eagerness to answer questions and direct newcomers in the right direction.
Again to Tightfit for developing and encouraging the groundwork of threads for creative members to find an outlet to express themselves.
To Brandybee for her tireless efforts in recruiting and encouraging members to take a look and participate in our growing community.
To HB for picking up the slack of matters during my absence, his uncertainty grew into confidence.

I am certain they will find someone within the community with equal zeal and appreciation for what has developed here.

And finally my thanks to all of you readers and posters it is you who brings life to these threads.

I have seen much here thru the years. Be it by simple banter, or the suggestion of creative ideas to enhance the game for all to play, to those who stepped forward perhaps with trepidation,and posted stories. and those who…. *cough, cough*…. gave us some visually appealing erotica.

You all collectively make this a special place.

Bear

I hope this doesn’t mean you will no longer contribute to the Forum

My friend, thank you for all you have done to help put this Forum on a firm foundation. When I first arrived into this place, it was a mess, with folks posting anything and everything in all the topics. It was difficult to find any help via the Forum because I had to wade through post after post of blather.

You and the others who started it, Keiko, Tighfit74, and Lover took a lot of abuse during the flame war that erupted when you all first attempted to moderate. The result is a place where information is easily available, and a friendly atmosphere in which to make any inquiries.

You leave the Forum a much better place than when I started and in very capable hands… and for that I’d like to offer a round of applause, and buy you a beer.

Bear,

The forum as it is today will always be related with some members who already left (Adera, Janine just to mention these two) and some mods who already left (Keiko, Tight). And it always will be related with your name. That we are able to have open discussions, almost always gentle and peacefully though we have many members from different countries, different languages and different cultural backgrounds, is possible because some people came together to push this forum. You are one of them. That some of our wishes for game are fulfilled is your “fault” too 😉

Before your rl time issues started, you have been very important for a lot of good improvements we have got. The story section would not be as hot as it is today. And I know for sure, without your ability to mediate between different opinions, we would have had much more argues than we had.

The god thing is, as now you don’t have to deal with the little and big troubles a mod sometimes has to deal with, you can focus on the things you like most now. Also I hope – and I’m sure – you always will give your opinion to questions, discussions and new ideas. Bcause this was one point, all of us mods always have been and still are fighting for: A place where everybody is encouraged to talk open and honestly.

Saying this, I don’t say farewll as you stay in forum. But I want to thank you for all the good things you have done. Thank you for the time we have been working together – without being vain I can say it was a success. And last but not least thank you for getting to know you.

Good bye mod, welcome “new” member 🙂
