    His profile says he is almost gone a year now and no activity. I wasn't in love with him but hell yeah he was a good member + he HAS 13k posts.
    He helped me a lot around here :)
    Anyone know whats up with him? :confused:

    He hasn't been around anywhere online that I know of since about July (his last Digg). I fear he may have landed under the wheels of a bus or some such fate.

    You are kidding me right? :confused:
    To say the truth. Well DEEP down inside, I get the same feeling.

    Yup or something. I am trying to load his blogspot and it encountered an error, had to refresh. But now its like taking the longest time to load as well. Edit - Took like 90 seconds. NVM. But anyways. Wonder what did come of him.

    Maybe he just gave up on Internet marketing and concentrated on real life? :eek:

    Hmm.... I wonder if this is gonna be a Where's Waldo/Top30 game?

    Even his last post on his blogspot was back in January 27. 2007.

    Actually i saw this before but thought he would return but didn't. Then today i was visiting a thread where buffalo said TOPS30 is no more in the mod list. I thought y would they remove him? He was awesome. No details whatsoever on the whole forum.
    I see something really fishy here guys
