Styx: Ruth stepping down

RooKRooK Shipmate
edited November 2021 in Limbo
After being on the leadership team of the SoF for basically forever, @Ruth has decided that it's time to step away and make room for new personalities on the Hosts and Admins boards.

I'm a mopey mess about it, but she has promised to continue to be active as a Shipmate. So maybe I'll post out here more often just to hang out with her. She has been foundational in my time here, and it extends to a lot of how I've come to regard the world. I simply can't thank her enough for all that she's done.

    @Ruth you've been a terrific wise person. Thanks for everything you've given the ship.

    Spot on, RooK and Gwai. Ruth’s strong consistent values and the way she’s applied them without fear or favour have made her a unique Host and Admin. A great example to all of us.

    Enjoy your retirement Ruth and I’ll look forward to seeing you around. Reaching back to our early days, I’m sure you’ve got quite a few more ‘home runs’ to hit in our discussions here. I shall look forward to watching them soar!
  • Ruth has been one of the greats. Congratulations on your well-earned retirement. With RooK I hope to continue to see you around the boards.
  • Thank you for all you've done, Ruth, and enjoy your retirement.

    Thank you, Ruth, for all you have done for the Ship, for - as others have already said - your wisdom, clarity, objectivity, and values (and on a personal note, for all the backstage advice during my hosting years). Enjoy your well-deserved retirement.

    While we all must do as we must, I for one will miss Ruth's steady, intelligent, fair-minded guidance. May your retirement be rewarding for you; the rest of us will miss your presence. Thank you so much for al you've contributed here.
