Thanks to ace62394 for creating this avatar. Use it as your avatar if you want.

To prevent the Welcome & Goodbye topic to become a "Cactus has left?" thread, I've created this topic. Feel free to discuss and tell us what you liked about Cactus.

Cactus, although you may never read this, good luck the rest of your life and we'll miss you.

Trying not to troll but; I don't see what people really liked, he was okay but he was hardly outstanding.

You're not trying very hard not to troll. The first post in a thread about remembering one of our most esteemed and widely-respected members and you post that?

And what did people really like about him? How about how helpful he is in the Oblivion forums? Or how good he's been as a mod? Or the fact that he's basically just a nice guy, and also very funny, and therefore everyone likes him? Or the fact that he's actually quite grown-up, unlike quite a lot of posters on this forum.

As for why he left, I know he's going through a hard time at the moment, and that coupled with the blizzard of immaturity and post-flooding over this last week probably pushed him over the edge.

HES LEAVING?

He was a cornerstone of these fora for a very long time, giving us all a laugh or a helping hand. In my time spent here, Cactus and I have shared many laughs, drama and just plain had a good time. No amount of emoticons will ever express how much he will be missed, and what he has done for these fora. You shall be missed, Mr. Ricky Cactus. This may sound like a eulogy, and it should. A part of UESF has died today.

My post was merely a question, if I intended to troll, I would have done so properly?

Gamer005 this thread is dedicated to good memories of Cactus and general discussion. Let's not discuss your post here or why you think Cactus isn't an outstanding member, even though you've been here for barely two months and thus know nothing about him.

gamer005 · Post by **gamer005** » Sat Oct 10, 2009 6:20 pm

I have not been here for two months or any time less than that, I have been here longer than you, I did not say anything to insult him, I merely asked a question.

Josjie · Post by **Josjie** » Sat Oct 10, 2009 6:22 pm

We're all upset that Cactus has left and your first post in this topic, and the very first reply, questions whether he was good or not. That is:
#1 not the purpose of this topic, read the first post!
#2 not a very smart move

I'm afraid I've got to lock this thread if this discussion will go on any longer and we all don't want that.

He struck me as amazing, and out of everyone here
he seemed to be the most... I don't know, he was just great.
I haven't been here long enough to give anecdotes, (about 5 days)
but I'm really going to miss him.

Good luck Cactus, maybe you'll be back when TES V comes out.

(also my RP is going to miss you too...)

My respects to Cactus. He worked hard on moderating the forums and I wish him well with whatever he has decided to do with his life.

I remember when I first found uesp 2 years ago (I never actually made an account until the beginning of last summer). This was before most of the current mods weren't mods, but still cactus's comments helped and entertained me whenever i read them in the forum. I never knew him well ( I don't know most the uesp) , but I still will remember him forever in my elder scrolls memories. I don't want to disrespect him, and am respecting his personal choice, so I will not ask why he left so abruptly. Long live thy Cacti!

We should erect a giant 50 meter tall solid gold cactus in his honor.

If you're really gone (and the casket seems suspiciously light), then we'll all miss you very much. ~~Now that there's a new mod spot open~~ Everyone will continue with their busy lives, but we'll always remember you.

Cactus cannot be replaced. And we'll definitely not find a "replacement" for him. We'll first see what exactly has happened and then later on we can decide if we need a new moderator or not. But it will not be a replacement for Cactus. Just a new mod. That's all.

I know, I was just trying to ease everyone's pain. Cactus can never be replaced. If he's gone. Which I still disbelieve.

I didn't expect people to use this

But it sucks as a memorial to the greatness that is Cactus. If anyone's got any Photoshop/Gimp skills, please make an awesome ~~ace-atar™~~ ~~cac-atar™~~ avatar.

IMO there's nothing wrong with you saying that

. In fact, I laughed silently when I read your post.

I'm just a bit shocked atm. But I'll get over it. I guess.

I could make a signature sized version if it would please people.
