You see- that's the point. She was an admin and she decided to leave it wasn't common knowledge. When an admin as old as Cubey leaves the least we, the community should get is a little annoucment on her departure. If it's personal, just say "personal reasons" and I promise you that no one will dig any further.
And as a site note- a few months ago I bugged Som about it and she said that Cubey left and then asked Som to ban her.
I got even more examples..
There are no admins, staff is just staff. I've had other staff members leave the team, and generally speaking, I leave it up to
them as to whether they say anything or not, unless there is an overriding reason. The reason I said something about Sally is because I know people have been wondering, and she has been a
huge part of this community for just about four years. Cubey wasn't even a very prominent staff member when she came back to my staff team, she just did odd jobs, usually WE, here and there. The
first time she left I wasn't even staff. The
second time she left, I didn't think it warranted a thread like this
because she hadn't been back that long.
