I noticed this as well, I've been poking around trying to figure it out, but I'm stumped. My wife and I were both looking forward to his Scratchbuilt Hardcore Mecha build he was planning. Disapprove [V] If noone picks up the ball that was dropped in his absence, I may pick up as build-boss...

Well, that's the second time he's done that...I suppose he has his reasons. I hope all is well with him.

Too bad. He was a valuable member of this community.
Perhaps we'll see him again in a third incarnation!

If you're reading this MM, hope to see you again soon! Smile [:)]

Yes, He said he needed to spend time with his family. He will still be running the Gazette though. He wasn't specific but said they got some bad news at the doctors office and he needed to concentrate on his family..

That is a shame. Hopefully things will get better. He should have left his account open. Come back when things are better, we value your friendship.

Very sorry to hear that. I wish him and his family the best.

However, in the time it took him to delete his FSM account, he could have at least left a quick message himself here saying he would be gone for a while. A lot of people here at FSM care about him, and such a sudden, unannounced disappearance is very worrying.

Again, all my best to MM and his family.

He and I traded e-mails yesterday, and I told him I hoped everything would work out. Hopefully things will improve on his end and he'll be back.

It was quite a surprise to go into one of his posts and find his name crossed out. I hope all is well and things improve for him.
