What happened to Sagesound?
"Let us dwell a moment on this symptom of highest culture—I call it the pessimism of strength. [...]
In such a state it is precisely the good that needs 'justifying,' i.e., it must be founded in evil and danger or involve some great stupidity: then it still pleases. [...] If he [man] in praxi advocates the preservation of virtue, he does it for reasons that recognize in virtue a subtlety, a cunning, a form of lust for gain and power.
This pessimism of strength also ends in a theodicy, i.e., in an absolute affirmation of the world—but for the very reasons that formerly led one to deny it—and in this fashion to a conception of this world as the actually-achieved highest possible ideal." (Source: Nietzsche, The Will to Power, section 1019; Kaufman translation.)

People come, people go, sometimes we need replacements, sometimes we want someone for a particular role, etc. etc.

But Sagesound only just came "on board"!

Try asking Sagesound. It is no secret, it is simply unimportant.

There really haven't been as many changes to Staff as it probably seems. When I got my bump to Admin, we needed to replace my spot in Religion, so that's one new Mod. Social Sciences hadn't had one for a while, so I decided my first order of business would be to get one for it. The first one I tried wasn't getting along the best with some of the other staffers and eventually decided to quit, so we needed someone else for that position.
