The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Does anybody know,

Probably burnt himself out.  You know what happens when you get too much of anything, no matter how good that thing is that you need a break every once in a while.  He practically lived on this forum, which isn't good.  I try to resist spending all my time here like I used to in order to avoid getting burnt out on the land before time.

Looks like the avatar was removed so it looks like it was planned.

Yes, I noticed his absence too  :(
I do hope that he can get things sorted out and I do hope that we will see him again. Sometimes members who haven't been around for a long time return after a while. Hopefully Manny too will return and be able to get GOF and real life healthily balanced.

I'm with lbtlover...he probably burned out.  He was on every time I turned around.

I feel lucky I don't get burn-outs. I have a high tolerance for anything except jerks at my school. Why are they still there? They are wasting tax dollars.

I don't burn out on anything.  The worst I can get is taking a break.  Usually a day or so is enough, some stuff may take longer.

Whatever Manny Cav's reason I'm sure it's a good one. Manny was a frequent poster here so whether it be burnouts, a break or whatever else, I'm sure he'll come back ;) Most members who do go AWOL for a bit tend to return at some stage

If anyone has his email they can try to email him and see if he'll respond.

I have his email.  We chatted a few times on gmails chat service.  I don't want to pressure the guy.  He'll come back when he's ready.  It's not like he forgot the web address or anything.
