You know, the first time I saw a post of Dex Stewart's after he took on Banjooie's avatar, I myself actually thought for a few seconds that Banjooie had returned, before I read the username (no offense to Dex, though). Having said that, I would agree with Schik here.

Since I didn't really notice Banjooie except when he was being a sarcastic bastage, could someone please indicate to me why he is missed so much more than, say, agaricus5, who really contributed to this community? (this isn't actually meant as a dis, I'm genuinely curious why there's a fan club for someone who was so deliberately anti-social)

Well, I probably don't miss agaricus5, since I wasn't around when he was. I know how intelligent, helpful, etc. he was, however he never did something which influenced me(at leasdt directly).

As for Banjooie... I liked him being a sarcastic bastard (: . And, as I see it, you say that Banjooie didn't contribute too much to the community. Even though it't in the making(and may remain there if Banjooie doesn't come back) his hold "Memories" is, in my opinion, the most awesome I've ever seen. And I'm not exagerating.

agaricus5 is gone? (which, come to think of it, is also a mushroom avatar)

Well, did he ever explicitly say that he's leaving? It's a topic like this one that attracts a lot of attention.

EDIT: Post collision. I'm responding to silver. But the post still makes sense regardless.

Oh, another reason. I think we pay more attention to Banjooie because some of us feel at fault for his leave (same with Maurog). As far as I know, agricarus5 left on good terms and silently; there was no problem between him and the community. Or was there...?

I almost forgotten that agaricus5 was gone. He was my *idol* when I was a n00b and I had the account "SuperV". I was impressed by his topics and holds. I miss him...

Also, I made the gravestone also because I haven't anything else to do. I think I'm gonna make a gravestone for every persons that leaves.

Edit : I found his last post : http://forum.caravelgames.com/viewtopic.php?TopicID=12856&page=0#148358

Because Agaricus wandered off as other things in his life became more pressing. Banjooie made an active choice to leave over certain things that were happening here. I might miss Agaricus more than Banjooie, but I also suspect that it's easier to convince someone to return when they chose to leave over some issue than it is to convince someone to return when other things just started taking precedence.

Mind you, I find the overuse of his grayed-out avatar to be irritating; not in bad taste, but avatars are a useful visual guide to who's posting, and y'all're taking that away with no particular benefit.

On the subject of avatars, can I use a red Banjooie avatar with no sky?

You're allowed to do most anything, no matter how annoying it may be. For instance, were I so inclined, I could monitor the forum 24 hours a day, and whenever anybody posted, the next post would be me with a little up arrow and the username of the post above mine. That said, it would probably be a bad idea.

I'd say you wouldn't have very many mod points left.

OK, I see where the annoyed are coming from. So I'll take mine down and encourage everyone to have a differentiated mushroom. I might have one too.
