aahhh 
I must say I completely understand the reasoning. He is truly an old school BE. He has seen this profession go from something of a complete kluge at launch, to a working viable fun profession, to the mish mash kluge job it is today.
The game really owes a lot to people like Arthur D.

Reading his sig, today is the last day that ArthurDent will be with us playing SWG. Arthur was correspondant when I first started reading and posting to the forums and he is a fantastic person with a great sense of humor and a balanced outlook on life as a BE. I have enjoyed every message that he has posted that I have read andespecially liked the one about explodingcrafting droids for when people just get fed up 
I just wanted to say, in case you are reading this ... thank you for all the memories and best wishes to you in your non-SWG life.

and to people like us, who have suffered along with him, and met the challenges with a strong, and well-informed, community.
let's not forget NancyJ, Arthur's precedent. let's not forget the OLD BioE's of the first months, let alone the first year. ArthurDent isn't gone... but he decided that he had enough. I'm proud to have taken his place at the helm, but I wish the waters were more encouraging. as for the crew, then and now, I miss the castaways that the BioE changes have made, and I wish I could tell you all to come home.
I can't.
run and hide, or suffer and perservere. I'll be here, Arthur and others will be near and watching over us, and we'll all wait for the day we can wear our tags with pride. until then, let them try to scatter us... our skillsets ingame may change, but the BioE's of past, present, and (we can hope) the future, will always have the two years of history to remember... to cherish, to learn from, to instruct others... and we will, no matter how hard the times, no matter how wicked and pervasive the bugs, remain hopeful.
wait for the 'olly olly oxen free'.

/wave Arthur. Sony doesn't know know how discouraging it is to lose a player such as yourself. Good luck, was fun.
Good post Lamm as well.

I don't think I can count the times I've said thanks to Arthur over the past 8 months or so. It's been a true pleasure to log in here and read his posts. The job he did during the CU as correspondent was a particularly difficult one, yet he was able to keep a level head when everyone else was bashing and thrashing. He's a truly exemplary person.
From what ArthurDent has told me he might still be reading the boards. I don't think he's gone out of the game entirely. How long this situation lasts is anyone's guess. We may yet see him post again under a different name.

(although I think he liked squalls better, he never did get into that argument)

The answer.
The ultimate answer, to life, the universe and everything.
Is.
42.
The question is, number of times you can be hit with a nerf bat before quitting?
