I didn't save any of the posts, so here's what happened, to the best of my recollection:
teleh made his Q&A thread. There was some discussion about how best to fog gaze. BRick stickied it, with a comment about how he'd moderate the thread if it turned into a banter thread. teleh got upset, and said something about it being inappropriate for BRick to moderate threads related to a game in which he's playing. BRick didn't understand teleh's strong reaction and requested clarification. teleh responded, then deleted his posts, then the entire thread was deleted (whether by him or by BRick, I do not know). teleh posts in here to bid us farewell.
I think retep's read of what went down is accurate: teleh felt that this game had gotten away from his original vision for it. Which, you know, is technically true.
EDIT: Yeah, let's get a sub in here as quickly as possible. I wouldn't even mind someone who has glanced at a few spoiler threads - we're not at a point in the game where we can really make in-depth plans that affect other players.
