Best, Ocho!!
Why old the devs keep leaving Paragon Studios? 
Thank you for all that you have done to make this board and this game a better place to be. Wherever you go, I know you will find success. It was a pleasure to have met you at the '09 HeroCon.

So long Number 8. Watch out for #2 and best wishes on your moving and new place.
total kick to the gut
This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.

He assured me that he was very vocal when it came to things that were important to the players and this IS important to the base editors.
So no. I can't keep my cool. His leaving means we don't have someone fighting the good fight. Base builder community or not, we needed Ocho.
I seriously doubt Mod 05 could ever understand the BBC... or do... anything like this FOR the community. All I have seen him do is cheaply go through the motions of moderation.
Yeah Mod05 I WAS testing you. have been for a while now.
I can't be cool about this.
We needed Ocho.
Ignoring anyone is a mistake. You might miss something viral to your cause.
Thanks for all the work you've done and for being a great community rep., and best of luck in the future! And thanks also for all the enjoyable events you've hosted on the servers.

Thank you for everything you have done Ocho. You will be missed but with that sadness is joy that you have found something challenging and with a less cost of living (which is good in this day).
May you have safe travels and live long and ...., well you know the rest.

Ocho actually showed an interest in what the player base wanted and seemed very good at letting the devs know. Mod05 is more interested in moderating less interested in what people think or want. Hopefully that changes when he becomes Cinco, but who knows.

Good luck Mr. Ocho in your new endeavors.
Although we won't be seeing you on an official capacity, hopefully we will still have an opportunity to run into you as a regular player.
As someone once told me...Change is a good thing, especially if it involves your underwear on a daily basis. =D
Thanks for your hard work and dedication. As all the posts above have shown, you have definitely made a difference in the user community. We hope that you will do so in your next project.
Damn it, Ocho, you promised* me an 8TF, or more likely an 8SF! Don't make me use the AE. I won't get your style or humor right. The new job isn't worth my tears is it? IS IT?
*(promised/said it was unlikely. same thing in my book.. i never did learn to read).
Sorry to see you go, Ocho. You will be missed. I wish you well on your future endeavors.
So, who's left?

Hey he was good for the pvp community too and im pretty sure he was involved in all sub communities of this game. But if he got better pay and stuff he should take it.

The Champion Server will miss you, of that I'm sure. I've loved having you involved with our events as everyone else has. This years Player Auction will be fun, but not the same. Perhaps Mod05 would be willing to take your stead. *rubs hands together gleefully*
Please know that you will be missed but NEVER forgotten on our boards. The Champion Official Pyramid thread was the best coup de grace if I ever saw one. Albeit extremely funny.
Good luck on your future endeavors and remember we will always leave a light on for you on Champion!!

I'm all for him getting something better because feeding your family is more important than anything.
I'm torn up over him leaving because who is going to fill those shoes?

I'm kinda surprised.
At this point there's only person left at NCNC who I respect. I know that's not worth a lot, but man, it still sucks to consider.
Take care out there, man. Thanks for being reasonable.

Loose --> not tight.
Lose --> Did not win, misplace, cannot find, subtract.
One extra 'o' makes a big difference.
How have i missed this? ><
Sad to see ya go Ocho, you were always nice.
I'll miss you, and best of luck in your future.
Good luck. Family comes first!
