Ben! So sorry to hear this. You've done a great job for the past few years and a huge THANK YOU is not enough for that! We'll still see you around, right? I certainly hope so.

I can say the generic "sorry to see you go", but I don't understand how or why as it seems sudden.
I hope whatever choice you make has made you happy and you are leaving on good terms, sad to see you go, but wish you the best and thank you for everything you have done. I hope you will still be around on the forum amongst us mere mortals.

That's bad to see you go. Whatever the opinions were about your decisions now and then, in my eyes you have always been a major stabilizing factor on the English forum, and on Numista.

Nothing to add to the above. We've spoken of this day many times and you know my views.

I have been off for about 5 months.
(I enjoyed it and deserved it.
)
It is an extreme pity that it coincides with your .... "leaving" .... . I was not sure what word to use.
Ben, you are certainly one of those guys I personally admired in the Numista society, you have gone out of your ways
to make this thing better.
Whatever reason you have, I will respect.
I would like to personally thank you for moderating the site, removing people with inappropriate comments and making sure that this remains a "cultured" forum. I have been frequently violating the rules of the master in some circumstances, and I have been banned and disciplined by you, but I have to say - and I trust you know - that I have always respected your views.
Good luck to life, whether in Moscow or else, I hope you are going to hang around here...
Cheers, mate ...

Massive thank you. Forum was a better place with you on guard. I wish you very best in everything you do.
I wish I could have added those features you requested for your smooth work here myself.
I know you have been asking for them long time ago.

Maybe but you have no credibility here. You have a limited understanding of this story. You can post all you like on here. It doesn't upset me...I still have the tools to remove it.
What you need to do in a situation like this is step back from it and see that your comment although permitted has no place here. It's alien in sentiment and far removed from the comments of people that I have swapped with, physically met or shared many PMs with.
We we have formed a relationship with each other. You don't have a relationship with me and your post makes it perfectly sure that no one will want a relationship with you.
