Anyone else miss Richard (aka Naive Old Fart)?

[Edmilson 12,209]

Something's wrong here. No one has seen or knows anything about Richard. He hasn't logged in his JWFan profile since October 29. 

 

Does anyone know if he has other social media?

[Jay 45,801]

16 days seems like a short period of time to starting worrying about someone not posting.  Heck I just took a two week vacation recently and barely posted over that time and no one noticed

The key thing is that "barely" that let us know you were still here

[Jay 45,801]

True, true

[Xander Harris 9,546]

R.I.P.

 

I'll always remember how he was the only other member who could quote Always 

[Mr. Hooper 8,623]

I've noticed he's gone on hiatus before and disappeared for a few weeks. Life happens.

[Rachael Foley 10,021]

He has a life outside of the forum you know!

Oh, we noticed.

 

 

 

[Xander Harris 9,546]

I didn't

That's hard for us to understand. 

[Jurassic Shark 16,355]

Leave him alone, he's probably dead.

"You magnificent pagan god!"

"I feel so alive!"

"Time's funny stuff. Space has its points too."

"St. Louis. South side."

"I always come in on three wheels, you know that." "Oh? Kinda perverse."

[Quintus 6,320]

He's dead. Wrapped in plastic.

[Jill Sandwich 11,030]

I'll probably leave a note here whenever I decide to off myself. Probably within the next decade. I have to wait for all my family members to drop off their perch first though because I don't want to upset them.

[Bespin Copilot 10,731]

Let's enjoy this quiet two-week break before calling the police!

[Tallguy 7,276]

This thread will either be hilarious or tragic. Wherever he is I hope the drinks are good.

The way you phrased this, I can only assume Richard was blasted to pieces by Stormtroopers on Cloud City.

 

Lando's got people who can fix him.

I know, but... After what happened to Joe I can't help but to feel a bit uneasy whenever a member disappears unexplicably.

 

Also, like Joe, Richard was one of our elders. Perhaps in the top 5 oldest surviving JWFans right now. 

 

Hopefully he just took a nice vacation to the Scot Highlands... Or the internet in the island where he supposedly lives might be down and he's using his time to watch his DVDs.

I admit I automatically read it in Carrie Fisher's voice.

[Nick1Ø66 8,119]

As long as I keep him in my sig line, he'll always be with us.

Showing signatures on the mobile view is a global setting I can switch on or off in the Admin Control panel, not something that each user can decide for themselves, sadly

 

 

If you want to temporary see signatures on your phone, you can go into Desktop mode in your mobile browser, then switch back when it gets annoying to use

Not sure he's that old. Isn't he, like, in his 50s or something? Would be interesting to know the current age gap in the forum, though. 

 

Richard will be back. Just taking some time off the boards. I do that periodically too, especially during the summers. A month, maybe more. We need that sometimes, to deal with personal issues, or to clear our minds from the mayhem here.  

[Jill Sandwich 11,030]

Waddya like 80?

I may be wrong but I'm feeling a little guilty that our recent disagreement about abortion rights may have contributed to his absence. It might be coincidence but he appeared to leave immediately after that conversation.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,173]

He probably just owes an MB member money, so he's AWOL for 6 months.

 

Scumbag really....

[Naïve Old Fart 12,881]

Reports of my demise are greatly exaggerated.

 

For the record, I never left JWfan, I just took a 14 day vacation.

 

 

I don't owe any money to anyone (except the usual - banks, loan sharks; credit cards; ex-wife; ex-girlfriend; ex-business partner; taxman, etc.).

They keep you in prison longer now, even for just a simple fight!

[Naïve Old Fart 12,881]

No prison for me, thankfully.

 

Thanks for all your concern. It's good to be back.

I'm glad I've edited my previous posts before he saw them.

 

Pheeew.

Are you all bruised and battered like Jay Leno?

Well, I think that this track is very appropriate for this topic.

Not a great movie, but worth watching just for Craig and Dench.

It's underrated.
