I wish you good luck, Lightouse, wherever it might be.
I'd like to give you this song. From me to you. Enjoy
Thanks for all that you have done for this game Lighthouse (and for the gold titles!) Good luck out there!

I am sorry to see you go. Sorry that NCSoft are jerks.

People *do* quit jobs for reasons other than "my boss is a jerk" or "co-workers are jerks".

I'd imagine Community Manager is a bit like being Press Secretary -- stressful, often thankless, and no matter how well you do your job, the crap still splashes all over you whenever "the administration" makes an unpopular decision.
Whatever your reasons for leaving, Lighthouse, I hope you can look back on your time with us and this little game and remember all of it fondly. GL with you're future, and if you stay in MMO/Gaming scene, I look forward to whatever project you become part of next.
P.S. I'll second (third) the request that they put up a lighthouse in your honor somewhere along the Rogue Islands and Paragon City coasts. Least they could do after all your hard work for the game as a whole, and this community in particular.

Wow, best of luck to you Lighthouse. Hope you have ( or shortly will ) found a good place to land.

You'll be missed Lighthouse!

Good bye and good luck, man. I'd like to say something wise and witty right now, but I think I'd best just quote some people who said it better:

Take it easy, take it easy.
Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy.
Lighten up while you still can.
Don't even try to understand.
Just find a place to make your stand
And take it easy.

LH, (Cindy the Cruise Director

I wish you the best. You and I butted heads on occasion, mostly when I didn't agree with something you said or did (or how you said it), but I always felt you were doing your best to help make this a better game/community for all. And, for the most part, I think you did a good job. Here's hoping this was on your own terms, and that you have a bright future. [UHG! The PUN!!! ]

Pssssst! Now that you're not on NCNC's payroll, what do we have to bribe you with to get the inside scoop on everything?!? 
So long, Lighthouse
Hate to see you go, but as others have said, we'll leave the light on for you.
Best of luck to you!

People don't get fired for so little as a few comments. They would usually get some sort of warning, or several, first.

I'd like to live in your world... really I would.
Because in this one, people have, do and will be fired for as little as a few comments. Not saying it's rught, but it's true.

Good luck to you, sir.
Community Relations to me would be like running the PR department of an unpopular political party. Anything you say for the people is misinterpreted as an attack on one segment, whilst anything you announce being done for them is seen as taking away from another.
It's selfless, thankless, and often not recognised. I will be one of those to recognise it and offer you my best wishes....I was surprised to hear of you leaving and I certainly hope you will become known as a fixture on these boards as a player with a clearly stated vision now that you're out of the current administration.

I wish him the best of luck as well but lets not put him in for sainthood....
selfless, thankless, and often not recognised? I mean was he doing it for free?
