In case you missed it, Torley posted a rather sad goodbye picture and note to Snapzilla last night:
http://www.sluniverse.com/pics/pic.aspx?id=14698&sort=PictureID+desc
I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you to Torley for adding so much to SL in the time that she was here. From the very first time I met Torley up to seeing this goodbye notice, I don't think anyone has ever affected me quite the same way. I knew the goodbye was forthcoming based on something Torley said in the ROAM thread, but it still makes me sad. I understand though - Torley has lived more of a Second Life in a few months than many of us have in several years in SL. There are other places to explore and new lives to live. That is the essence of what makes Torley exactly who Torley is, even if it does mean saying goodbye.
Anyway, without getting mushy, again, thank you Torley. You will leave behind a void in SL for a lot of people, myself included. You have had an enthusiasm for SL that I envy and wish I shared, so it was always great to see SL through your eyes since mine have become a bit cynical of late. The way you have handled yourself in world and in the forums, and your openness and grace even in the face of criticism and detractors is something that has always impressed me, and something I strive to achieve myself. Your overwhelming support of Snapzilla and your contributions to it have helped it to grow into what it has become, which I thank you dearly for, so it is very appropriate that you used it to say goodbye.
Take care of yourself and enjoy whatever new worlds and lives you find, and please don't forget about us back here.

Torley has changed shape/identity a few times though. She is currently Torley Jr. Maybe Torley Jr is leaving having found her father?

In a world plagued with sameness and the ordinary your loss is a great one. You brought the best that SL had to offer to us through your blog and daily pictures.

Torley and I started the same day and I feel like a classmate of mine has gone on to seek his destiny in a third life. Bye bye Torley.

I hope nothing untoward happened to make you need to leave, Torley. Though that's the only thing I can think of that would tear you away.
Mind you, I'm not digging for answers: Your life is your own. I can only speak for myself, but I welcome you back any time you decide to return. Aside from that. nothing more to say except for... Bye, Torley, and thanks for all the fish! |

Well... hell. I can't think of anything profound to say, so --
See you around, Torley. I'm sure whereever you wind up next you'll have fun, just like you did here. _____________________
