So this thread is our chance to give him a good send off! Please feel free to post in here anything that you like to help celebrate Ben's time on here as I think we can agree that he's been a great member and will definitely be missed!

So come on guys and girls, let's have a good knee's up and celebrate the guy, the legend, the mess, the best MOD ever, the funniest person on here, one of the most lovable and friendliest members on this forum, that is Ben.

(a massive thanks to everybody for all the work they've done in preparation for this thread: Livia, Ammi, Niamh, Josy, Shaun and everybody else who has contributed toward all these comments).

I PMed around 50 active users and got in touch with a handful of oldies to put together this video - wishing you luck and looking back on some fun times over the past 4 years. I'd like to thank everyone who replied with a message for me to include, or provided me with an idea.

Get the kleenex ready. This is going to make you cry

Remember the time that dick ukturtle left? trolololol. Now usually when people leave TiBB it's because they are having a hissy fit, delete their avatar and sig and then storm off for like a day. But this time around it was me leaving to go travel another country, New Zealand. Never before had the forum pulled together to create such a wonderful tribute for someone leaving, and so many people got involved. It was one of the nicest things I think the collective forum has ever done. So although it was my leaving, it is memorable for the fact that you lot came together and did such a lovely thing. Shows what a nice place we can be at times.

Also memorable for the fact you all went to ******** for my last night and I never showed up.

Anyway, I did leave, and ended up back on here after 5 months because I settled down in Auckland. ha2.
