Bye Bye Bunny

@autobunny

took us 2 days to actually realize

No way! Not the Bunny!  This is sad!

A Stoat ate him?

I really hope the Bunny comes back,. He brought many of us together and lifted us up during these strange pandemic times. I wish he'd let the Rooster and I know his username if he's joined another site (maybe the same as here?!). Rooster stayed for a bit on Bunny's farm, right Rooster?

Yes. The bunny controlled the rooster.

Rooster was in the bottom of the farm hiarchy, bunny was on the top.

Nah - the Bunny didn't try to control anyone, but others congregated towards him because of his humor, intelligence, and especially his cuteness. Rooster roamed freely.

I think they even had games of tag on this farm, in which the cows even joined in. The cows just pretty much stood there, so the games petered out.

I agree, they are indifferent now,

But there has to boo a hidden rivalry, right? That makes everything better.

Not with Rooster and Bunny.

I do agree that a hidden rivalry, in some circumstances, can be absolutely thrilling, i.e., competing against a frenemy in a sport. I've only had one frenemy - I'd see her at races and she always came up to me with passive aggressive negative remarks, all while pretending to be friendly. I viewed it as a compliment  that she must be afraid of me always beating her. It was fun until it wasn't. Gotta push those people away a little more quickly than I did. 

I just like hidden rivalries.

But I guess that's not the case.

Bunny deserve our sincere messages to honor his contribution to chess.com forums. Ladies first @BattleSoldier

Wdym rivalry? There  was no rivalry.

I didn’t stay in the farm. It was mainly a han/caravansaray. I lived in a farm nearby only 10 miles away.

I really am sad to see Bunny close his account. Bunny's contributions? Major!  Think of all the days during this pandemic, before the vaccines, how we were isolated from seeing our friends in person, yet we knew we could log in and read the latest from Bunny, whether introducing us to music we've not heard yet, making us smile, or just witnessing how loyal he is to his friends. He just brought so many of us together. Love to the Bunny!!!

My turn. The Bunny is one of the unique characters of chess.com. His wisdom and humor both appreciated. He was Muted many times but that didn't prevent him to speak the truth. I throw the first carrot to your grave.

I don't think he died, did he?!  That would be too heartbreaking. I will throw the second carrot - hopefully ro his home. Come back!

Bunny was a great bunny, and had lots of great wit.

They were also an above mediocre philosopher.
