The late libbypapa thread

[RabbitJockey]

what all tutorials do u guys want? i may or may not be able to get them back through a secret method

[truckinwagen]

wayback machine does not have files for our forum

[RabbitJockey]

i can get them elsewhere i already found a bunch, i didn't realize how helpful he was to the forum actually, u don't know what you got until its gone haha.  i don't wanna piss him off, but why should we suffer. we'll see, it really would be nice if he just came back:^(

maybe if we send him a thank you card signed by all of his he will return.  thatd be kind fun mailing a card all over place to get personal signatures on it haha

[ORCoaster]

Pm from one to another with forwarding after we have our say?  Will that work?  Someone would have to have a second email address for him if he dumped his account here.  I say we do it, more to have him back than to see if it works.

DAMN IT! what a let down! i guess i won't be turnin that fuel screw in anymore until i can learn how to get my idle back down some more..

just because andrew is gone, doesnt mean were gonna be screwed.. because we have Giles Jr. 

the fuel screw issue is a simple one..

[rabbitman]

Yup he's not in the member list anymore. Wish I knew what was up. If someone ran him off we'll never find out first hand just like what happened at the vwdieselparts.net forum.

He'll be sorely missed...........

The one that gets me is the VNT vanagon. I really wish I would have saved some drawings. I basically remember but if I make one up like that I would like to have him to pm if needed...

[8v-of-fury]

Childish if you ask me, this is the second time I have seen someone so knowledgeable selfishly destroy information that is helpful to all..

Ridiculous way for an "adult" to act.

Yes, it seems a little silly to me that he took all his threads out of the forum. Whatever, there are plenty of very smart people that have and will continue to contribute to this excellent board.

[RabbitJockey]

yes its a shame for him to remove all that information, it hurts the community, and i'm assuming he was only upset with a one or only a few people.  i'd love to show some mass appreciation if i can haha.

[RabbitJockey]

seriously tho, what all kinds of threads from him to you guys want i can get most of them, how ever i'd really like to talk to him prior to it because obviously he deleted it all for a reason

[clbanman]

There is a possibility that when he deleted his account, the software automatically deleted his posts.   Most people who go inactive just stop visiting the forum so their posts stay, but possibly deleting your account would delete the posts.   Maybe he didn't intentionally delete the information.

[Mark(The Miser)UK]

I think that he was probably tired of the Mark guy just continually trying to piss him off. That and after that mark dude screwed all of us about 2 years ago by saying he wanted royalties for a timing device that Libby wanted to make...then didn't because of it so we can't buy it. I think they didn't have the best feelings for eachother. At any rate I would him not just leave and take his info with him. This is all just guessing. I know neither party personally, nor do I know why he left. I would suspect that is why.

Now knowing all this info can be removed I would like someone to PDF all this just in case something similar happens again.

Greetings.
I just went into this general thread looking to see if anyone had posted re the sad loss of Hagar from the other forum, who has succumbed to cancer.

OK how did I screw anyone with MY idea, that I said anyone could make for themselves, or make a few for other's less able? I proved beyond doubt that it was my idea, and for Andrew to claim it as his own because of his use of a CAD package, to graduate a circle into 100ths.

I thought he was underhand, especially as once we were quite good friends! He could have asked me, out of common courtesy.

He did post several times after this last 'spat' between us, so perhaps it was someone else who tipped him over the edge.
Maybe it was another threat, PM'd like what happened on the other forum, if I understand correctly.  

Not that you can check through the old posts, but Andrew spent half his time giving 'mostly' good advice, and the other times hurling abuse at dissenters of his view. If he can't take criticism; then he can take his CAD  package and shove it where the sun don't shine. I won't miss his " I consider this conversation closed" line; when he's only part of a thread.

Having said all that, it doesn't  get more selfish than to punish everyone, for my disagreement with him, if I was was indeed the reason.

Clearly he cared deeply about  what I thought. I'm glad he's not running your country

EDIT
Actually talking of threatening PM's I still have 2 out of 3  messages from him still unopened from those years ago, after I had felt intimidated by his ascerbic rants
