Anyone heard from that Footers chap? 11:06 - Aug 21 with 4996 viewsOldboy

Last I heard his house had had a fire and he was kipping with family or friends. Hope all is ok with him. He is a controversial lad and a bit of a wind up merchant, but brought a bit of humour to the forum.

He quit the forum.

I believe there was a fundraiser for him which he very kindly asked to be donated to charity.

He quit after a fundraiser?

Must have been something that was said/done during the meltdown we experienced on here a few weeks ago.

Don't think the two were related. Was some weeks inbetween and there was no issues with the fundraiser which he generously refused to take.

I didn't mean to make it sound like that.

I think he was being loyal to Spruce. There was a big split in the board and I don't think he liked some of the stuff said about Spruce.

I was on the other side but i'm trying to be completely neutral with how i'm describing what happened.

Yep, you’re right. He was very grateful and humble about the fundraiser. It was just a bit sad that he bit the dust on here so soon afterwards, but as far as I was concerned he and Sprucey were getting fairly argumentative and dismissive of almost anyone who differed from their opinion. This place has generally been a better place the last few weeks, IMHO.

I know him well, and the short and polite version was he had grown frustrated by some goings ons and individuals on the board and decided to no be a part of it anymore. Not being influenced by others who had made similar decisions, as speculated on this post already.

He called you a haslet muncher - though I assume that is a good thing to be called by those who engage in the devil's food.

I am planning to have lunch with him in Camden Market soon, so I fear I am now going to be subjected to this abomination.

Yeah, he clearly had his own mind, which was often in stark contrast to those who got agitated by him.

Give him my best wishes and hope to see him back someday.

Indeed. I am obviously biased in this case - but I do often say that losing people on the board is rarely a benefit overall, especially when they're good conversationalists. I do hope to see Jeera come back soon myself, as he would often send a reassuring PM during the witching hour when life was going pretty sh*t.

Him and Spucemoose were the same person though, right? Always on here together covering each others backs. Shame they have gone, but like you say, probably for the best for the forum.
Is this when we guess his new username?
