There'd have to be a mod election if I disappeared. Which I won't. *beats power-grabbers off with a stick*

And who wouldn't if Zaia disappeared? She's one of the most prominent members on the board.
Not to mention one of the most entertaining. ;)

Shut up, you.. you.. LETTUCE!! :evil: Besides, I'm just joking with you.. And anywho, I think Zaia'll speak for herself on the whole "taken" thing.. Just gets kind of annoying when you see people doing what they do so much to someone you consider close enough to be a sister.. Despite that we've never met (long story).

I would probably not be noticed. I'm a tertiary character here at best.

Don't worry babe, he'll eventually come around...just in odd waters.

But yeah if you went...you'd be missed.

Me, I dunno...except for the comic lovers...I have no idea.

You all overestimate my worth here. I would not be missed for long. Iggy would carry on with PotF. It does have an ending, you know. He can easily finish it since he's writing it now anyway. Hell, you'd probably forget my name after a week.

Bah, considering the response from when you originaly stated it, it is painfully obvious that you would be severely missed. Perk up, hon. :D
