It does sadden me a bit that Mene is like this. I try to come by from time to time, mene is my internet home after all.

I didn't find out about the event until just now. Mene never emailed me about it.

For me though the downfall of mene was the loss of jelly. Many of the tasks she did never got taken up by other staff. The Penpal feature for one was huge for me. I loved getting to help out the site with special little tasks here and there.
And with the loss of penpal the emails seem to have ceased arriving.
