A solemn passing from the PI forum.

Nevyn · 22-05-2009 1:34pm #1

My fellow boardsies we are gathered here today to pay our respect and show our affection for one of the great Personal Issues mod the site has ever seen who due to current circumstances has had to leave us.

It was bound to happen, clearly she was meant for greater things but the PI forum as we know it would not be what it is today nor would so many have
gotten so much advice if it wasn't for her guidance and stern hand.

Loved by many and feared by most I do of course refer to Beruthiel,

Lady you will be most missed.

I think the words of Mr Billy Joel can say it better then I ever could.

She can kill with a smile, she can wound with her eyes.
And she can ruin your faith with her casual lies.
And she only reveals what she wants you to see.
She hides like a child, but she's always a woman to me.
She can lead you to love, she can take you or leave you.
She can ask for the truth but she'll never believe.
And she'll take what you'll give her as long as it's free.
Yeah, she steals like a thief, but she's always a woman to me.

Oooh, she takes care of herself.
She can wait if she wants, she's ahead of her time.
Oooooh, and she never gives out, and she never gives in,
she just changes her mind.
And she'll promise you more than the Garden of Eden.
And she'll carelesly cut you and laugh while you're bleeding.
But she'll bring out the best and the worst you can be.
Blame it all on yourself, cause she's always a woman to me.
Hmmmmmm Mmmmmm Hmmmmm Mmmmmm

Oooh, she takes care of herself.
She can wait if she wants, she's ahead of her time.
Oooooh, and she never gives out, and she never gives in,
she just changes her mind.
She is frequently kind and she's suddenly cruel.
But she can do as she pleases, she's nobody's fool.
And she can't be convicted, she's earned her degree.
And the most she will do is throw shadows at you,
but she's always a woman to me.

I've never had a PI...

It'll be just my luck I'll have one now Beruthie has gone. :mad:

nuttz · 22-05-2009 2:19pm

Christ, I thought somebody died!

Wagon · 22-05-2009 2:24pm

I'll miss her avatar. It was pretty hot.

Best of luck!

faceman · 22-05-2009 2:31pm

Best of luck Beruthiel!

seamus · 22-05-2009 2:36pm

We are currently in negotiations to appoint Pighead as a replacement.

Fingers crossed people.

Oryx · 22-05-2009 2:39pm

Wow. This is like going in a church and finding Jesus missing off the cross. PI will not be the same without your beloved jackboot.

Who the hell will fill those boots now?

DeVore · 22-05-2009 2:40pm

heheh...

Ruthie has done so much for that forum its hard to encompass in words. Thanks Anna.

DeV.

Mr. Presentable · 22-05-2009 2:46pm

Sorry to see the departure of one who actually knew the definition of "moderate". I hope her example will be followed by others in the future.

I has a sad. Will really miss you in PI Beruthiel! You were awesome. Hopefully you'll still come and bestow sage advice upon us from time to time

The music did, the minute Billy Joel was mentioned.

4zn76tysfajdxp · 22-05-2009 3:26pm

Oh my god, this is terrible news. PI wont be the same without you Wibbs.

themacdaddy · 22-05-2009 3:27pm

godspeed...i always remember the crepe advice... :-)

6th · 22-05-2009 4:00pm

I'd personally like to thank Beru for all her work on the forum. They are impossible shoes to fill and myself and the other new mod will do our best hold the high standard.

I wonder if anyone will buy it?

Freudian slip?

ShawnRaven · 22-05-2009 4:23pm

Best of luck Ruthie.
Gone from PI, but most definitely not forgotten.

bronte · 22-05-2009 5:26pm

Thanks for all the hard work

Hagar · 22-05-2009 5:33pm

Beruthiel, helpful and on-topic posting have gotten you de-modded from this forum.
Do take time to relax and open a nice bottle of red wine.
Have a nice day.
All of us.

Shattered you say? Sounds bad

Can i suggest starting a thread in PI? :pac:

AlmightyCushion · 22-05-2009 7:04pm

First thing on her to do list: Start trolling PI.

Nah, fair play to you, Ruthie. That place can't be easy to mod.

The_Minister · 22-05-2009 7:07pm

Dearly beloved, we gather here to say our goodbyes
Here she lies
No one knew her worth
The late great daughter of Mother Earth
On these nights when we celebrate the birth
In that little town of Bethlehem
We raise our glass- You bet your ass to-
La Vie Beruthial

Dudess · 22-05-2009 7:27pm

Relax guys, she's not leaving Boards.ie...

Very nicely moderated Beruthiel.

EKRIUQ · 22-05-2009 7:58pm

PI is a tough gig, well done to Beruthiel for moderating for so long and best of luck to whoever replaces her.

Diabhal Beag · 22-05-2009 8:44pm

Good luck Beruthiel. A great mod who deserves a break.

Pighead could be good though

DapperGent · 23-05-2009 5:55am

Never heard of her.

Handsome Bob · 23-05-2009 4:33pm

PI has lost a great mod in Beruthiel, but I'm sure you'll still be on hand to give your pearls of wisdom when needed.:)

In which case I sincerely hope that you get an indemnity deal with the government in respect to future claims made against Boards Ltd.

Cloud · 24-05-2009 5:45pm

Thank you Beruthiel!

yermandan · 24-05-2009 8:50pm

Thanks for everything. Ridiculous consistency with advice and ALWAYS a calming influence on any PI. Best of luck

bigpinkelephant · 25-05-2009 4:06am

From the subject heading, I thought someone had died!

All the best Beruthiel, PI can't be an easy job.

seanybiker · 25-05-2009 4:18am

Jaysus I was coming in here to offer my condolences to some dead person. I had all my fake good words and everything ready. Feck it anyways.

FlutterinBantam · 26-05-2009 8:15am

A little Ode to mark the occasion

Ode to Beruthiel

*********************************
With a firm hand on the tiller
She steered the ship P.I.
Through muppet infested waters
And many a stormy sky
****************************
She always steered a safe course
And repelled unwary trolls
And loads of midnight posters
Who liked talking through their holes
********************************
The gimps the numpties and the goons
All tried to board her ship
And swarms of muppets lurked at night
All trying to give her gyp
*************************
But Cap'n B repelled them all
and despatched them with elan
And the only thing those dumbos felt
Was the pain of permaban
***************************
So Ms B enjoy your leisure
As you go out on grass
And if the ship PI should flounder
Come back and kick some ass.
****************************
