^ Even so that is a change that should be formally told to the forum. (at least in my opinion). After all, he did do good work as staff and should be recognized for all he did before he resigned.
And I don't see the need for us to dwell on it, since godhunter said there were already plans about it. This is Akash and girlunderglass's thread I realized that we're sort of hijacking it. ^^;

The departure certainly isn't a shock, seeing as they've both been absent for a while. But they were both very important to the forum, and excellent friends/acquaintances, and will definitely be missed.

Akash was a wonderful member and staff member. Like GH said, he did more than just the graphics. He weighed in, was the voice of reason sometimes, and I will miss seeing the familiar blue that his name carried for so long.
Much love to you, Akash.
There is no denying I adored GUG. She was my debate buddy in the RB, she was my shoulder to cry on occasionally, she helped when my own health wasn't good (and still isn't). Late night AIM's, back and forth PM's, our epic discussions in the RB. All will be remembered. Being on staff isn't all fun and games 100% of the time and she at times made it a bit easier just by being supportive.
Much love always, GUG.

I never had the oppurtunity to meet Akash,but I like everyone else, know what he did for the forum. The first time I came to DH, the very first thing that made me stop and look at this site was the beautiful forum skin it had. I loved that way it looked, it was so unlike any other forum skin I had ever seen.
As for GUG,I didnt get to talk to her until she came back a few months ago, I talked to her when she posted in the OGB,I can't recall what thread it was, I think it was a similar thread like this for a former member. I mentioned a little bit of drama I had caused in the RB after I had joined DH and that prompted her to PM me about it. We had a good laugh about it afterwards. She is definitely someone I respected and I could tell she was a good person and wanted the best for us all.
Both Akash and GUG will be missed dearly around here.

^^Because from what I've heard of Akash, he sounded cool.
And GUG was extremely nice to me always.

Even though I've been here for awhile, I don't know Akash that well...but I heard (and seen) of GUG a lot. ^_^ I can understand the pressure of being a mod/admin connected to a certain forum. They've dedicated part of their time and effort on keeping this place alive. Hopefully, they can come back to us one day as regular members.
Thank you, you two, if you ever read this thread! ^o^

Akash made me SO many graphics, and really helped with my roleplaying. I thank him for that.

I've never met either of them, but I've heard a lot of what they had done, and I'm so sad that they're leaving.

Excuse me for bumping an old tread.
I can't believe I JUST found this thread today. I... just don't know what to say. I feel really bad for just leaving like that (even though I kind of gradually distanced myself from DH). I don't even remember why I left. It was probably school and life in general. Whatever that reason was, I am truly sorry. Knowing that you guys actually cared for my services means so much to me.
I was just talking with my friend, Katuko, of how we were so devoted to the Avatar community. We had a graphics site (Yinyang graphics), we helped Dongbu Feng, and I helped with DH Forums. We even participated in RPGs (Flying Bison and Feng Shui). What do we do now? Nothing. It's really sad. Our love for Avatar is the same, if not more. Life is just eating us up.
So yes, I did leave. I did resign. I don't know if I am exactly "back," but I lurk around. I have been visiting pretty much everyday since the end of July. I post once in a while. I still love this place :]
Thank you godhunter for posting this tread, and to everyone who replied. It sincerely means a lot to me.
And I, too, miss GUG. I wish we could've talked more while she was here. :\

Aww, Akash. <3 I'm glad that you still post around here though, much better than leaving completely.
