Fact is, that this appears to be a slap in the face of every X-Marks member that still calls this forum "home". I didn't host the Saltire, nor did I want to, but I did enjoy reading the posts, and seeing the photos associated with it.

This is why I suggested that the forum owner, or moderators, or other craftsman here create a new version to start new adventures and journeys.
Respectfully, though, if you believe that Jamie intended this as a slap in the face, then you really do not know Jamie/Panache, who is one of the most respectful people I know. CDNsushi's post above is spot on when it comes to the Saltire. As a former Moderator when the Saltire was commissioned, it was never officially sanctioned by the old forum owner -- it was Jamie's idea and Jamie's efforts that got her flying in the first place. Therefore, I stand by his decision to retire her.
