Whatever happened to Old Bloke?

He was a prolific poster with mega post numbers, and a very good researcher online and could find stuff on the internet that certainly others couldn't, especially me.
He also used to post on that very difficult and basement-populated place AHN and copped a hiding there at times.
He just seemed to disappear, poof, gone, which doesn't seem like his style.
He wasn't that old, either.

I was wondering where he went; it seems he got banned from the big hunting.net forum.

He may have been losing the plot a bit; who knows.

I missed whatever conflict he was involved in on the other forum, and couldn't trace it up.

I was hoping he didn't hate me as his avatar pic was Uncle Fester.
I hadn't seen it and just picked the Fester name as a funny on-the-spot thing when I joined up.

i liked OB , as was said he was a good researcher and i liked the guy . he used to post the "harry who" meme from get smart , "amazing" :lol:
i'd say he might've just got sick of the net , or heaven forbid , health issues . i go quiet on here myself at times , just good to have a break from technology at times :D . either way i hope he's doing well :thumbsup:

There was a rumour he'd had a stroke. If a stroke has pulled him up from posting, it must have been on the bad side, if it's true.
I hope not.

I've sent him a message to let him know, hopefully he pops in :-)
