Ren, All Offices, Resignation, 2013

On behalf of The Council I regretfully announce the resignation of Ren as Site Administrator, Councillor and Librarian.

Ren's been an outstanding System Administrator. He's saved the site from catastrophe many times and he's the author of the current site. It involved many hours of extensive custom programming. Ren organized the first TOTJO gathering. He made arrangements (including writing the ceremony) for the first TOTJO offline (in person) knighting. He's the author of the current version of Doctrine, in particular the 21 maxims.

Ren's helping our new System Administrator, Proteus, get antiquated with the server and the site program.

We can't thank him enough for his service and devotion.

Ren, May The Force be with you, Always!

When it rains it pours...

Ren, I would like to thank you for the service you have offered to us. I have managed a website briefly and still have no idea how you did most of this. I consider it magic, by all accounts.

I hope that the future brings you what you ask for, and that your path be ever forward.

We butted heads a few times I think but thank you for your tireless service to this concept and helping build the Temple. I know how much behind the scenes work goes into these sorts of things. You probably had half a dozen test sites which no-one ever saw, taking countless hours of your time.

Thanks for all you've done for the Temple, Master Ren.

May the Force be with you, always.

Thanks also to Proteus in taking up the reins, I've no doubt you'll make an excellent System Administrator!

"The blossoms fall on the mountain... the mountains fall on the blossom."

Ren, you did an amazing job, and I'm so grateful to your service and deep dedication. Keep it cool, and see ya on the flipside.

Even though we may have butted heads a time or two, I still consider you my friend and wish the best for you.

I appreciate the work that goes into keeping the site running and the effort you have put in.
Let me say…

May you always have work for your hands to do.
May your pockets hold always a coin or two.
May the sun shine bright on your windowpane.
May the rainbow be certain to follow each rain.
May the hand of a friend always be near you.
And may your heart be filled with gladness to cheer you.
~Irish Blessing

Ren, thank you for everything that you've done here. Since I got here, I've looked up to you. May the Force be with you in all of your endeavors!

WELL OKAY THEN.....


this is getting a little spooky... because guess what else I saw coming!?

ren, as one of our longest currently serving members, will be missed greatly!

Best to you ren.

I thoroughly enjoyed our exchanges in the past and always appreciated your uncut, unfiltered take on things.

MTFBWY always.

Indeed

As I have said before, your dedication and talent with the systems admin is admirable and obviously appreciated. In that respect I'm sure you will be missed.

I don't know what is going on around here but I hope it doesn't spread. Ren you helped define diversity and it is a loss for any of the old timers to leave the church. Live well and be happy. I hope you and Mark will visit with us from time to time or come back?.

May the force be with you Ren!

REN...

Thank You!

I think it is about time the members of the Temple get a real answer. It is not enough to say goodbye. We need to know why? I am not attached to any of these members but it seems like a united stand to me. I would like to know why every UK member is leaving. Akkarin are you next? VTog-Mark-Ren???

It would be less confusing if we knew why? It's OK to disagree.

Im more curious about this history on the TOTJO Gathering & Knighting and why I did not hear about it? 0_o Or is it the Ohio gathering you are speaking of? That was organized by Aimee and Angelus though....

Jayden wants to know why Ren and Mark left.

Yup. I missunderstood the part I quoted. For some reason I took the name as an off branching site....or something...don't listen to me *Runs around flapping arms*
