Thank you for the time and that you put in. Your efforts will be missed :)

You've contributed a lot to this community, and I thank you for being a moderator and a educator at Renderosity. I can't say I hate to see you go, but I will see you at Rendervisions, where the atmosphere is a bit friendlier to us "weird folks" :o) JV

Sorry to "see" you go Lyrra ... The best to you @ your new locale. cheers, dr geep ;=]

The pay probably sucked anyway - lotza luv. Perhaps a moderators' union could be formed - he he he Good luck in your next endeavors

WHAT??? Sheessshhhh.....

Best of whatever you may want in life. Thanks man, and warm greetings; Tony

You will be missed from here- good thing we have you at rendervisions :)

Sorry to see you go. I'll check out rendervisions now that you're there. Love esther

Ack! Lyrra, I know we've not always seen eye to eye, but I know you're a good person. I hope you don't stop visiting Renderosity!!!

"I have been asked to resign..." Seems very odd; I thought you did a great job. Thanks for the fine service and best of luck to you.

Sheesh. Rosity just can't stop shooting themselves in the foot, can they? They've lost a gem in you, Lyrra. And it's definitely their loss.

The last few times anything like this happened was due to conflict of interest, or acting as a moderator on another site. Regardless of what the circumstances, you will be missed. Good luck!

Good luck to you, Lyrra. I, too, thought you were a most excellent moderator. Will be seeing you at Rendervisions!!!

Too bad. You really were a great moderator. Good luck, and I guess now I have to go find out what Rendervisions is. See you there. -Alfonso

She's ours now!! cackles evilly, throws Lyrra over her shoulder and makes for the hills towards Rendervisions

Really tho - a damned shame overall. I always felt Lyrra had quite the level head and even hand when dealing with this rabidly enthusiastic roiling forum. A very difficult thing to do what with the constantly shifting, open-to-interpretation TOS and mass amounts of strong personalities in the Poser community. ;) I don't know what goes on or went on behind the scenes, but I think RO has lost a valuable asset.

I don't understand either. I always thought you were very fair and impartial, and excellent at your job.

well i don't look/read each and every post here and there, but i cannot recall of any major failure/mistake of Lyrra as a moderator... (now for rosity itself which had made some bad moves recently here and there, it is another matter...) i hope lyrra is not a scapegoat... BTW>, Lyrra, i hope we still can hear from you here as a member and contributor anyway; i specially liked your huge work on mayadude (and am making a few picturezs here with him for my personnal use.. not placed in the gallery i guess) see you we lost caleb, we lost lyrra... what is left ? who is next ?

I think the PTB are being very asinine in their replacing their good mods with people that can't hack it. From what I've seen lately, the new guys are being too nice and are getting pushed around. And on some of them, if they don't like what they are hearing (no matter how bad) they just lock things up (Ie, the magazine thread). Oh well, things are going to hell in a handbasket, and they don't seem to care (until they realize it hurts their profits). BTW, for the admins that are clueless and have been arguing with me on the state of things, why is one of the most popular terms being used by different circles for R'osity "Rectumosity"?

Thanks for your help :)

Geez Lyrra, I thought you were one of the best. See you at Rendervisions :)

Lyrra, I don't say this to please you but I watched your work closely and I can say that Renderosity made a biiiig mistake to let you go. Good luck with your new home and I'll see you over at Rendervisions... (His voice quivers and looks away to hide a treacherous tear running down his handsome cheek...)

It's sad to see the ones with actual value being asked to leave.. Rosity sure is a weird place these days.. cold.. and not at all community-like..

Bummer - Qulastima! Skimming thru your recent posts here, your behavior is exemplary. I hope it wasn't involving that texture copyright controversy. Probably couldn't have been, since this step would have no ameliorating effect on the outcome (if any). It's a learning curve with sites like these. You gotta mind your Ps and Qs, make sure everything you say is politically correct, unactionable. It's hard to be calm and dispassionate sometimes, goes against human nature. Well, happy new year anyway - feliz a nuevo!

Awwwww... dang! Really sorry to see you go, lyrra! You were a great mod. All the very best for your future endeavours. mac

Hmm, sorry to see you leaving these shores, Lyrra. Best of luck with everything in the future :)

Very sorry to see you and your"Pointy Stick",leave... Wish the best for you in this new year.. (sad)SWAMP

Erm....well damn...I was just getting to know ya Lyrra! Thanks for the help with the texturing post. Hopefully you'll still be around here as a member..would hate to lose a nice person just when we've said hello! My best wishes to you and your loved ones and I wish you all the luck in the world wherever you go...keep in touch.. zai the confused...as always..

Remember, she's not leaving forever. All fans of Lyrra the Great can now see her at rendervisions.com, where she was made mod of the Poser forum pretty much as soon as they fired her from here.

Why do all the good ones have to go :(..DAMN.......Quite frankly I'm stunned. Have a HAPPY NEW YEAR Lyrra!!! Good luck with your new mod position. :)

That sucks! Probably some dumb ass R'osity politics. I'm very sorry to see you go Lyrra.

Well you are in good company (Ironbear etc. and all those mods and admins of high caliber that have resigned or been pushed!). Wear it as an honor. If I were in the hiring business and looking for intergrity and ability, ex-Renderosity mods would be at the top of the list.0) with nobs on!!!! Why do I keep thinking of Stalin's political purges of the early decades of the 20th century when I see posts like this??? These thoughts are becoming too frequent for comfort, I really must ask a shrink about this strange mental association. Am I hallucinating, or is it just an awakening???? BIG 00::)) BTW Happy New Year. Regards STORM

Best wishes, Lyrra - you had a very hard job to do here, and you did it well. You faced some very tough choices and tried very hard to be fair, but decisive. I admired that. Your moderation will be missed here.

AWWW, Lyrra, "asked to resign"???? What happened, you weren't as high-handed as the others? Damn, you are one of the good people here and you will be missed! Take care, lady, and don't be a stranger!

HEY LYRRA, don't worry about THESE ADMINS,, we all know how damn good you are, you know YOU are ALWAYS invited into my Company where ever you are, and you don't have to answer to and bunch of "I DON"T KNOWS".. go for it girl, the world is yours, the have release their chains, and you go run and make the money they couldn't before:) by the way hon.. heres my web site again,, www.mgbrooksworks.com brand new look, and when i start up ( if i do, the brokering biz, it won't be no 50/50 shit. how about 95/5? i mean after all its the brokers who do ALL the work. so they deserve the 95%. No Mods, No admin, and mainly NO TOS,. i do quite well as you well know. see ya soon.:)

Sorry to see you go Lyrra was just getting to know you good luck in your future adventures :O)

Sorry to hear that Lyrra - I personally think you did an admirable job of moderating a very difficult forum.

K people... keep this to farewells, NO more Renderosity Site, Admin, or PTB bashing. I'd hate to start My New Year off handing out warnings. Thomas Poser Coordinator

Hey....go easy Lyrra :) Your humor will be missed (yes...I actually saw the humor in your efforts to "tame the wilde beaste"!!) Seems like there is always some goofy damned thing here. And as for the person/people who asked you to resign, all I can say is..........Fuck 'em! :)

warnings? or censorship? loss of freedom of expression, and Freedom of choice and speech as well? so this means Big Brother is watching YOU. ya;ll be careful what you say and how you say it, you don't want to hurt the people who run this place feelings or else you could be Ban from here as well.

Sorry to see you go Lyrra, you were the best evil overload we've had. ;) Bye!

Hi Thomas
Congrats on your elevation/appointment to the "Co-Ordinator team".
I genuinely wish you the best of luck with it.

It is sad that in one of your first acts as a "Team Member" you should have to interpose in the controversy surrounding the removal of one of your colleagues and issue a warning about attacks on the PTB. Even sadder that this should come in the early hours of 2004.
However, I see no real substance to "NO more Renderosity Site, Admin, or PTB bashing."
"Fair Comment, "democratically held ideas" and "differing opinions" have always been respected, held in high esteem and encouraged on this "Artists Site" and have long been accepted by the PTB as part of the normal flow of argument and diversity of Renderosity. Perhaps these long-revered standards about normal forum discussion have recently changed?
Personally I don't see any "Bashing" going on yet, some ribald and colorful comment perhaps, but nothing against the TOS. But maybe others see this differently?

Best regards
STORM

I'm sorry to see you go too, Lyrra. Thanks for your contributions here; and I hope you have fun at Rendervisions. :) Beth

I agree with you, Storm, I didn't read much in the way of bashing or going against the TOS. Kind of ticked me off to be told what one can or cannot say. Seems that "normal" may only be what we are "allowed" to say. I think my time here is nearly done.

Moderating, like editing, is a highly situational field. I feel you did your best but, as a former journalist and as one who teaches journalism and writing, I realize that "job safety" is an oximoron. May you fare well, where ever you may fare.

Lyrra has been a asset to the modship of this site for many years, She will be missed here.

& I quote from Post #21....... I think the PTB are being very asinine in their replacing their good mods with people that can't hack it. From what I've seen lately, the new guys are being too nice and are getting pushed around. And on some of them, if they don't like what they are hearing (no matter how bad) they just lock things up (Ie, the magazine thread). Oh well, things are going to hell in a handbasket, and they don't seem to care (until they realize it hurts their profits). BTW, for the admins that are clueless and have been arguing with me on the state of things, why is one of the most popular terms being used by different circles for R'osity "Rectumosity"? Seems kinda like bashing to Me..... Thomas Still a Poser Coordinator & Still willing to toss out warnings

how many warnings do you get before you lose the respect of the whole community?

As another former Staff Journalist (Irish Press Group and subsequently The Sunday Times (UK/Dublin Office) for many years) I read that as fair comment, maybe not what the PTB want to hear, but nevertheless, fair comment.
But perhaps we have different Editorial Standards!
But we can agree to differ.;0)

Regards and Happy New Year.
