Was going through an old thread and saw a post by Graknorke, a guy I recall was usually pretty chill but who got banned about a year ago. I couldn't remember the life of me why and decided to poke around a little bit and find out why he got the metaphorical axe.

While reading into some posts around that time period, I found, uh... let's say I was never the most prescient of people.

E: Oh god, what happened to Vector? I saw one of their posts a page or two back and their entire history is redacted.

Dude, this is the mildly sad thread.

Vector is a complicated person. It's been a while, but last time they were here they were doing alright and seemed to be on the up and up. Never got to know them as well as some did, though.

Some people delete their account when they felt they're done with a community. Not sure why they didn't just ask Toady One to remove them from the forum though.

@Arx
Same here.  I wish them all the best, and I miss their posts, but I certainly understand them leaving.
Not them particularly, but anyone who chooses to wipe the slate and move on.

@Cinder
I've considered that, myself.  I assume there's a relatively simple button to do so, for spammers.
But somewhat-sad, I have said a lot on this temporal forum that I hope lasts forever.  And then I wonder if it's right to (attempt to) remove the awful bits of myself, from that history.  It would seem dishonest, and also less... me.

I believe they're doing okay :3 I've been in contact with them recently, and while it is in brevity, they sound okay (although I really want to keep in contact with them so I gave my email >_<).

Privacy and personal reasons, best asked to them if ever. :O

A complicated person like everyone else and myself But its moreso private matters entirely.

Well there is the bunzone (happy thread) thread a little further down the page. IIRC it used to be called the "things that made you happy today" thread.

And upon checking yep, it was indeed called that.

I may as well post a mild sad while i'm here.
I have eaten all the cheese in my fridge.

Do you have any juice left, though?

[Tawa]

Aye, I got that they'd wiped their history, and although I was never sure on the specifics--their heyday here was way before I signed up--I understood they were in a relatively unusual and apparently stressful situation with their life, so I have a basic idea of why they'd wipe their post history.

I'm just more surprised that there didn't seem to be any real goodbye, I guess. Their last post was over a year ago, but the edit to "Bye." was about six months later. No fanfare, no farewell speech, no lamenting the leaving of a friend, just... "bye", edited into a half-year-old post.

Ninja'd by Tir :v Good to know they're doing alright! I was kinda worried. I never knew Vector much, but it's still sad to see them go.

[scriver]

I still wish I still had contact with Vector. If anyone here does say hi to them from me.

After all the squeezing of juice, I hope not.
... :/  This song is...
I suppose it is is both alien and amicable.  I guess that works.

I want them to be horrible, since they killed off the Androsynth and all...
But they're not.  They aren't homophobic.  They aren't even homophobic as in human-killing.  They just are.  Orange-green morality.

Even more thread relevant:  I wonder if, somehow, our first encounter is with a sleeper ship of a relatively-nearby race.  Of course there will be differences in ethics, to some degree.
How much would we sacrifice for diplomacy?  Especially as fragmented states?
Probably not us gays, because why would they care...  No, it would be something else.  Something we might not see as important.  Then what do we do?

[Khan Boyzitbig]

How and why would one squeeze a liquid? I do have drinks if I want them still, would be in the sad thread if I had nothing to drink and no cheese.

As to the sleeping aliens thing, probably just kill each other some more. Probably whichever group refuses to surrender whatever it takes for diplomacy against those who did surrender it.

[Shook]

Humm, i feel... Comfortably melancholic right now. Like, my mood is down, but it feels okay, like it's by choice instead of forced upon me. As if i could shift back to chirpy in a moment if i wanted to, but right now, i'm comfortable in this little hole of mine. It's not even about giving up and accepting misery as an eternal companion in my (not really) tormented life, because i'm not THAT far down, i just... Feel like this is how i want to feel right now, even if it's a non-ideal mood. Weird, but acceptable.

What's that about?

Nothing in the moderation log about it.

They deleted their account, ages ago.
