Go! Say ‘Aloha’ to The Right Blue
March 4th, 2008 by The Right Blue
Hi to all the flowers smellers. This is Bobbie from The Right Blue, writing to tell all of you that I am withdrawing as a GSTF founder. I exchanged emails with Jim and Em on this subject earlier today, and they suggested that I be the one to make the announcement to the community.My situation has changed a bit since I accepted J & E’s invitation to be a founder here. As I wrote in an email to them:
“I’ve recently become unexpectedly busy with work assignments, and I’m finding that I have little time left over to work even on my own blogs. I will continue to participate in the community as time permits, but it would be unfair to you and the community to retain me as a founder.”
This was not an easy decision, nor one I wanted to make, but I decided I had to step up to it. In short, instead of being a half-baked founder, I concluded that it would be better for the community to find a replacement for me — someone who can devote the amount of time and energy to GSTF that I cannot afford to do right now.
I’ll still drop in when I can to read the articles and join the conversations in the comments. And I hope all of you will continue to visit The Right Blue from time to time as well. Warm regards to everyone. Signing off for now. Aloha.
Gonna miss you Blue….
and yep dont be a stranger….
It is shame it cant be worked round….
We’ll have a toast for you at the cheeseboard….
Aloha…

Aloha Bobbie… all the very best with your work and blogging efforts. I know what you mean with becoming unexpectedly busy!! We all have a life away from blogging… or at least I hope we do. Happy trails

Thanks Ange. Yes, we all do have lives apart from blogging, although for awhile there I was beginning to believe otherwise. Then reality set in. Oh well. Onward & upward.

TTFN R.B - Good luck and hope to see you back very soon. All work and no play makes jack a dull boy!

Thanks, Jonathan. Right you are, but all play and no work can lead to the poorhouse. It’s balance we need. Balance, I tell ya!

Well I’ve only been reading flowers of late and limit my laptop time and love all the antics….3 more to find and ADMIN you mentioned this blog idol to start soon?
So busy myself and love dropping in from time to time.
A shame rightblue that your time out to smell the flowers here isn’t doing it for you.
Happy diving, good look and smell again.
Thanks Fab. I’m not leaving outright. I’ll still be around, but not as a founder since I can’t make promises about how MUCH time I can spend.
Bobbie
Heh Bobby, sorry to see you go, but thanks for putting the community first and stepping aside to let someone with more time in.
I’ll miss the fish sequence in the founders video! Would you like the snippet cut out for you and kept as a sep file that you can have as a keep sake from Flowers?
Let me know and good luck in the future

What I should have said is this:
O dear the embed code got wiped! Bobby go to the link above. Once on that page click on the icon of the film that will take you to the film’s page. Then at the right hand side of that page there is an option that says
“embed video”
go to that and it will give you your code

Hey Mike - why not just create a new version e.g founders 4.01 etc and leave them all for people to view still.

The old version will always be available to view on Motion Box at:

See you later guys, keep smiling. If I could dive here in Changchun you would see a lot less of me as well.
Thanks Gareth. I’ve enjoyed your tales and comments about diving. It’s been nice to “meet” someone who’s been to many of the same places we love to dive. I’m still HOPING to be able to find time for a couple of posts a week at The Right Blue, so I hope you’ll drop in over there from time to time and join the conversation.
Bobbie
Safe travels and this ones for you RightBlue…
LOL, thanks J ‘n’ E. But did you ever notice that there are no divers in that video? That’s because most of the avid divers in Hawaii ‘escaped’ from Honolulu and are living here on the Big Island now — like us!
Bobbie
I’m the only Canadian and the only Blue left…. how dare you…??? LOL
I’ll miss you…
Taylor Blue’s last blog post..Ryan Philippe Is One Hot Dad!
Well, only-Blue-left, not to worry. I’ll still be popping in.
Bobbie
All the best for the future, and I am pleased someone is leaving just because they are busy!
Not that I am pleased you are leaving, oh you know what I mean.
Well thanks. So you’re pleased I’m busy then?! LOL. (I’m just razzing you. I know that you know that I know what you mean.)
