Post by: Justin B. on March 20, 2014, 08:14:45 PM: Hmmm, I know he was trying to wind down but I haven't had a request to "whack" 'im... Maybe Bob did... OH, wait, this IS Bob!!!

Sorry, couldn't resist... I don't know if he could delete himself or not...

I just logged in to the server and looked at the data files and his stuff DOES appear to be gone...

Hate to see him go, he's the one that told me about this site about 14 years ago .

Post by: nhmaf on March 20, 2014, 08:43:17 PM: I'm pretty surprised that he'd delete himself as he has been participating recently and was just talking about meeting up at some of the BMW/airheads rallies here in the east this year.. this is just odd..

Post by: Justin B. on March 20, 2014, 08:44:19 PM: Bummer, I would have expected to at least get a PM from him before he bugged out... If you have his e-mail address maybe drop him a line...

No kidding. He's the one who just recently started the thread that brought up the idea of doing a few Airhead rallies, and was actively involved in that discussion. Even the thread itself is now gone. Hmm :-?

Post by: nhmaf on March 21, 2014, 09:27:18 AM: I heard back from Rob - he is doing OK - just decided that it was time for some changes in his life, and he felt that he wasn't needed here. I think that he is still on the boxerworks and cbr250 forums.

I *think* that Rob was our principal moderator for the photo gallery accounts, etc. so now we should have someone fill in that position so new members can sign up, etc.

Post by: Justin B. on March 21, 2014, 10:55:53 AM: He had indicated to me over a year ago he needed to start winding down, but never did!

Rob's posts on Boxerworks state "deleted user". I have not looked at the Honda group's forum.

Post by: SCJJR65 on March 23, 2014, 11:53:20 AM: He sent me a friend request on facebook yesterday. I could ask him if he decided to leave the forum. He may or may not answer me.

Post by: msbuck on March 24, 2014, 04:57:15 PM: Rob has become much more active an facebook these days. I think he is doing well. I have not asked him about his activity here, though.

I don't know why he would delete himself. I just don't visit as often as I used to. . .
