so sad.

I don't know the circumstances, but it doesn't matter. Steve = Lego to me, and that's that.

I hope he still stays as a part of the community. Else i would really miss him.

[bigospedros]

i'm confused ...

For those of you who don't know what this is all about, Steve said on his Facebook page that he's no longer with the LEGO Group:

As of today I'm no longer working at the LEGO Group. It was fun working with everyone and I wish you all well. Since this now gets to be my personal account I'm going to remove a bunch of people who may be on it for purely business reasons. If you notice you've been removed and wish to friend me again I'm good with that.

For what it's worth, I always thought Steve did an excellent job answering the questions posed in this forum. He was never insulting, stepped delicately around the landmines, and always seemed to give the best answer he could. I've never met the guy, but he always came across as a good man. I hope he stays with us, and if not then I wish him the very best.

Lego didn't make Steve awesome, Steve made Lego awesome. This is quite the surprise but I hope it works out to be better for him in the end. Maybe this means that since it's back to being a hobby for him he can hang out here more... right? Right? Not to answer questions or anything, just to dork it up with the rest of us.

Dude...well, I hope he found something cooler that pays him mega-dollars.

Boo. Steve and I don't know each other terribly well, but I always liked the way he presented himself and represented himself at events. I hope to still have the opportunity to get to know him better.
