Commander McLane?

Post by DaddyHoggy »

While responding to somebodies posting I copied the URL from Commander McLane's Rail Gun and I realised that I haven't seen Commander McLane on the Forum for ages.

He last posted on July 14th, last visited on July 23rd. None of his final few postings indicated that he was withdrawing. I know people do come and go, but Commander McLane is such a big contributor to the forum I was just wondering/worried where he might have got to.

He's not answering emails or PMs.

Anybody else heard from him?

I was about to say that also. I cannot remember that he indicated a leave of some sort.

Via email today Commander McLane has confirmed that he's still with us - but RL(tm) keeps him from our clutches - he will return (he promises).

I'm just glad he's OK!

He has been missed. He is a great support and for lack of an eloquent term 'asset' to the commoonity.

His return will be most welcome.

Phew :D , I miss personalities and other OXP's he was working on in my Ooniverse. I have actually started to tinker with it myself to see if I could get it into a better state. I think the conclusion is, "no, I can't".

Oh good! I also PMed him a few weeks ago to see what's up but didn't get a response.

Aah, nice!

When I "came back" I was pleased to see that (almost?) everyone is still up and about and thriving !
Plus new members, oxp etc. authors and so on... :)

But Commander McLane.
