Most of us players know Bret as Ornyx, aka Tea Goat.

It's true, Ornyx has moved on from Blizzard. We will miss him here and wish him the best in his new opportunity. I will have a message from him to all of you and will be posting it here soon.

I will miss sitting next to my Space Goat friend every day very much, and I cannot thank him enough for all that he did while he was here. <3

I'm curious if Ythisens is at that lunch in the photo on Twitter.

I have a feeling I know which one he is, if so.

O.o I am in that photo o/

I'm now in a meeting room with a Game Director behind me though so I'm not still enjoying KBBQ :(

Ornyx at one point was the most active CM. He still has a higher post count than the Ox.

He's got like 2 years of posting on me I think. I'll catch up!

Guess that's part of the reason the moderation on the boards has been lax lately. The "Larger Moderation Team" must've been lessened.

We actually don't do the heavy lifting when it comes to that. You guys do, reported threads is how CS knows that something needs to be removed. We actually rarely moderate because we're usually focused on other things. We do take care of things that we see if we need to :)

Was there a 'Can I have your stuff?" office card?

He did actually start putting things on my desk and said "here have this".

I will cherish this box of paperclips forever.

Good. Then this confirms you have no plans of leaving in the near future.

We'd miss you terribly if we lost you as well.

I have no current plans of leaving you guys. Never know what pops up in life though, but for now you're all stuck with me >:P
