Important news, and a fond farewell.

Don't worry, Spec will still be an admin and have the ability to screw with any of you as much as he likes.

Thanks Spec! I believe we will all miss you. You were always there, keeping things running and operational despite everythnig hosts, spammers and Murphy could try! As a member of more years than I can remember I can honestly say that no other forum has ever been so gezellig and spam free. (Tried to translate gesellig to english, but could not come up with something that was correct).

"The light faded. The blazing column of light which had been the Conduit of the new Weave of Pyrosia faded into invisibility for those eyes who did not have the gift to see it. Dolanna looked back towards the Conduit, could feel it shuddering, and in a moment of awful clarity, she realized that it was growing unstable. It was threatening to unravel, to tear itself apart, and it was creating a Weavequake that shook the entirety of this fragile
new creation, threatened to tear it apart. She looked to her friend, her dear friend Tarrin, and saw that he laid crumpled on the harsh rock, and that he was not moving.
She understood what was happening. She got up and ran to him, plunging into the Conduit and falling to her knees beside him, and the instant she came within the boundaries of the Conduit, its shaking, its degeneration stopped.
There was no Goddess here. The Weave was stable, and would remain stable, only so long as there was a conscious guiding force present to keep its integrity. The instant Dolanna entered the Conduit, she became that guiding force, and it was by her will that the entire Weave remained stable."
(Sword of Fire, Chapter 17)

Thanks a lot. Spec! Hope you will continue to hang around. And thanks to you, Greymist, for taking over the duty of guiding the weave!

Firstly, big thanks to Spec for all his work and yes, I do have an idea just what a thankless task it is trying to redirect those useless bits back into order.

Fel, do you need much space/bandwidth/services? I'm willing to help with space and services if I can be of use to you.

Wow, very apropos. One can't stay, another steps in to fulfill the need.
Thanks Greymist!
