I do agree that it does overall damage the site but I don’t think there was any malice behind it or that was his intent. He’s well known around these parts and was one of the top contributors up until this and has made quite a few friends and most likely just wanted to say goodbye rather than just vanishing, that’s quite common practice on most Internet forums nowadays. I also think your just venting and when you calm down you may realise that those comments about starting his own streaming was just said out of anger; for one Blacko is gamstopped and you know what kind of bloke Andy is having been around the forums for a while, he’s really not like that.
So while I do agree with some points you made I disagree with some of the stuff I feel you’ve said out of anger. I don’t expect you to change your opinion and I respect it but my opinion of Andy isn’t going to change just because of this post or because he’s left, he’s a top bloke with a big heart and would help out anyone in need and the forum will worse off without him here, that’s my opinion. 🙂
