Same. I am kind of at a loss. I hope to bump into him on xbox live if I ever get free the next couple of days and ask what's up.
I still love the 8th, but this loss is significant, imo. QP brings much to the table. Hope he comes back. And soon. I'm hoping for the best.
Abducted by aliens who hacked into his account deleting all his threads/messages? Sounds very likely to me. [uck fay] you alien bastards!
QP sent me a PM asking that I prune (sort and delete) his "account". Not being certain as to what he intended, or needed, I asked for additional information. Others texted me that while his account remained, albeit changed to being a "Member", all of his information appeared to have been deleted, posts and threads included. I investigated it, and found this to be true (I'm a sleuth). I am wholly ignorant as to his reason(s), motive(s) or cause for such drastic action, but took this as a uniquely strong indication that he no longer wished to participate (I am a connoisseur of the nuanic and veiled). In response, I personally deleted his (now "empty") account, if only in hopes of preventing the same concern which he had elsewhere, regarding the continued availability of his personal information following his departure, and in his absence. Despite this, he was a valuable and entertaining contributor who will be missed, albeit more markedly by some than others (like Hat, QP can be an acquired taste, with a dry wit that often escapes some readers). Personally, I hate to see him go, but trust that he has done what he feels is right and best for him, and hold no ill will towards him for having done it, whatsoever. I wish him nothing but the best, wherever he next lands. I'm happy to answer any questions which some might have as to his departure or our collective response, but can't imagine what more I might be able to add, in addition to this.
