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...

You can delete yourself on the user control panel .

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

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..

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  :-?

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.

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.

Oh geeze, sorry to see him go. Hopefully just an intermission.

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.

There comes a time for some people, that they need a ' fresh ' start and new direction in their life .

Good luck in your future endeavors  Rob !!!!!! 8-)

I agree Bob. That is why they are called ex-wives...   [smiley=steinigung.gif]
