Your efforts in vehicle construction, airfield building, sim circumnavigation, and spork manufacture have greatly enriched my Second Life experience. Abbotts still feels like a second home to me, and I've logged countless hours of flight time in your aircraft. I can't think of Second Life without thinking immediately of Cubey Terra; your distinctive work is a foundation for our little virtual world.
Fair winds and blue skies, Cubey. We'll miss you.

When I was still fairly new I strayed in to buy my first aircraft - not one of yours, just pretty much the first that caught my eye. It didn't work, and I came back to find the creator. You were there, heard my story, and gave me a CLAWW gratis. I was overwhelmed with gratitude (though I probably didn't show it) and I treasure my gorgeous black shiny craft still. Happy retirement wishes to a real gentleman.

Best of luck to ya, Cubey. I'll miss the areodrome, not just a great place to buy great planes, but a fun place just to poke around in. And what I'll miss the most is "Cubey's bad poetry" contests! You know I won one of those once....hmmmm that's not realy an honor.....forget I mentioned that.

Cubey,
Your hangar at Abbotts was the first landmark I took in my inventory, and its still there, at the bottom of a long list. From a fellow Canadian, and a fellow flying vehicle builder, I'll miss you, and good luck with whatever you decide to work on. - Jon _____________________

I wish you the best Cubey, your work in Second Life has always been an inspiration and for me an addiction ^^. I hope to see you again on the grid sometime in the future. ^^

Thanks so much everyone for the well-wishes etc! Early this morning, with the help of Chage, Torley, and Arrekusu, I changed my avatar over into Tourist mode -- hawaiian shirt, khaki shorts, camera, and little drink with an umbrella.
 From now on, when I do log in, Second Life will be very much a *game*.  _____________________

There's a teleporter pad where Cubey's Hangar used to be. Use it and go pick up some of those goodies. I know I bought myself one of the Cormorants while I could. Mmmm, Airplane-Sub goodness. And good luck on your vacation Cubey. Go visit some dance clubs and party hard! |

As you may know, the avatar known as Cubey Terra is old and grey. Eventually, the time comes when one has to set aside the business, sit back in the Lay-Z-Boy rocker-recliner, and put up the aching feet while enjoying a nice cold one. _____________________

Have a good one, Cubes.
Hope you'll still be up for a little dogfighting every so often. :> Was so hoping you'd get done the Terra Combat System for ground vehicles and infantry. =D And thanks for the most fun, best vehicles in SL. :> _____________________

DOOOOOD! Though I rarely ever jump on the forums, I had to come on here and wish you well. Though I was never big into creating aircrafts/space ships, it was awesome to checkout your inspired creations. I'm glad Juro has your planes on our property and that I have your other products like the jetpacks and skydiving equipment. I remember when you first came into SL and seeing your stuff at Show & Tell. As time past, and you began mastering SL aeronautics like no other, I'd soon marvel at the sight of a 747 actually flying across our SL skies...I was hoping to see in the future a fleet of jetfighters to streak across our skies, but alas, the closest we'll get to that is a bunch of residents in Transformer like AVs...LOL.
I'm relieved that you'll still be in touch, and like others have said here, I look forward to your inspired return, even if at a less active capacity like myself. You're a true SL pioneer that I and other residents will remember fondly. Good journey to you, buddy! _____________________

Heh the Aerodome wasent my first place I bookmarked but shure was the second
First being Cordova before the other sandboxes arrived I still rember the day you were tinkering with the sky divers lift chair that looks like an aircraft seat and pondering what was missing... Delay lift for mabe 2 seconds have a smoke cloud bellowing out then shoot up with a smoke trail. I still use the copy you gave me quite regularly even if not for skydiveing... more of a quick way to the skybox Anyway Hope to catch ya online... I plan to give you your wings in person And if I dont catch you snoozen on my watch... well ok then but rest up QB u earned it 10 fold _____________________

The aerodrome will be now known as Chage and Apoth's Aero Mega Mall Whilst I cannot speak for Apoth (Havent seen him to discuss yet), I for one have no intentions of changing the Aerodrome as a result of this. Heck its even prompted me to rapidly get some new stuff ready. Mega Mall. heh. No I don't plan any changes. I tiered up to cover as much of the land debt as I could before finding out that was a mistake on Cubey's part. I may not be able to take an active role in the Aerodrome, but I surely don't expect to let it disappear. _____________________

Someone just told me you were "retiring" Cubey
.THANK YOU for the many simply grand devices you've "brought" to SL. As an avid flyer (RL and SL!), I have spent many, many hours enjoying the fruits of your labor. I didn't realize "Blanc Noir" and Cubey were one in the same. I'm sure you know how I used the "Skyport" kit to build my "Dream' airport in SL. THANK YOU again for your creativity. If I can be of any assistance in the future, PLEASE ask. Good luck...and good health! Another "Golden Oldie"..... Cruiser Gilman |

I give up. I can't stay retired.
11-26-2005 17:04
I tried to retire. I swear. But it turns out that I'm just no good at it.
After about 2 months of claiming to be retired while everyone snickered at me for continuing to build things, I'll just have to give in and admit that I AM NOT RETIRED ANYMORE. Seriously, SL is like crack.  Come and visit me sometime. _____________________

I see your plane coming into the airport already. Time for us to wait at the gates with signs. Welcome back, Cubey. _____________________
