Where is Russ?

[kibble]

This isn't really "fun", but what happened to Russ? :huh: :confused: :huh: :confused: :huh: :confused: :huh:

He hasn't posted recently, his profile is gone and so are his youtube videos.

[jr dragster Tyler]

Hmm I was thinking the same thing:huh: . I noticed his profile and stuff just I dont pay attention to the youtube stuff.

[kibble]

He had a couple of videos on there of the 2 cycle engines but they're gone now. I checked those after I noticed all his info was gone from here. Sure enough those were gone too!

[ironman]

man i hope ididnt get him mad on the whole muffler thing.hes a good guy.him and i dont see jb on here no more either.hum.....
i wounder if they went to that other sight.....:huh: :(

[gocartkid]

Hmmm....that's odd. :confused:

[jr dragster Tyler]

man i hope ididnt get him mad on the whole muffler thing.hes a good guy.him and i dont see jb on here no more either.hum.....
i wounder if they went to that other sight.....:huh: :( Hmm I dont think the muffler thing got him going...Maybe Robert knows about JB.

Like Jr said, I don't think the muffler thing was enough to get him going, he had a sense of humor. What's weird is that his videos are gone too. If you click on one of the links to them they say they've been removed by the user. He didn't just abandon the site and leave all the information there, he got rid of everything. :confused:

[jr dragster Tyler]

And a few days before he left I notied his avater was gone and all of his titles like Reeds' R ' Russ where gone.

[ironman]

yea that is wired. well he will be miss he was a very smart guy with alot of info that help out every one

[robertdjung]

I haven't heard anything. I might email him and see, though, it does seem really strange. Bummer, what a loss!

[my_mini_bike]

yeah, russ was a nice guy.
come back russ! we miss you!

what was the whole exhuast thing?

[ironman]

yeah, russ was a nice guy.
come back russ! we miss you!

what was the whole exhuast thing?

:innocent: o nothing we were just talk about the power gain from it.about how a headder can change your speed. i know that wasnt it just jokeing about it.

[oscaryu1]

It looks as if his account has been removed... and the only way to do that is to contact the admin :confused:

[my_mini_bike]

How come yous' didnt make a thread for me when i stopped posting for a while?? huh :mad: :toetap05:

Lol jk :smartass:

[kibble]

Well it's not that we wouldn't have, and it wouldn't have mattered if he hadn't posted in a while, it's just that all of Russ's stuff all of a sudden disappeared and then his videos did too.

[robertdjung]

I didn't erase the account. There's still plenty of his posts floating around, just do an "advanced search" for his name. His account is set to "invisible".

It's not uncommon on forums for a very active member to disappear.. Sometimes a life change means they need to work more, they're moving, want to focus on something else.. Hard to say but with luck, Russ will be back after a break.

[kibble]

So, when the account is set to invisible, all the info is still there, it just can't be seen by the rest of us? Or is everything gone and we can't see it anyway?

I hope he comes back, I still haven't finished with the lawnboy engine I got :toetap05: LOL

[robertdjung]

Honestly I wasn't even aware of the option. I can see his posts still, maybe it's because of admin privileges.. Try this: http://www.diygokarts.com/vb/showthread.php?t=981&highlight=russ

[kibble]

Well his posts are still visible, I meant his profile and stuff when you click on his name doesn't show up.

[kibble]

He posted a comment on my video! :eek:

[my_mini_bike]

he's alive!! did u ask him anything or did he say anything else?

[kibble]

No, but I'll try messaging him and see if he replies.

[kibble]

Well, I tried shooting him a message through youtube and it didn't happen because I got a message saying that he has "friendlock" on and he can't get any messages from anyone that he hasn't added as a friend. :(

[jr dragster Tyler]

I hope he comes back. I was hoping he would get to see some of my engines and tallent:toetap05: :censored:

[my_mini_bike]

whats he done!? locked him self from all his friends, deleted his videos, de-activiated his account... maybe he killed someone and is leaving the country O.o
hmmm....

[kibble]

I don't know, but it's sure not the same without his input on engine related matters. :(

[ed1380]

aw man. he was a smart guy. knew alota stuff too

im kinda back :)

[kibble]

Yeah, I had noticed you hadn't posted either, but your information didn't disappear. Where do you guys go for extended periods of time? :huh: :confused:

[kibble]

Hey, I think I figured out a way to maybe get to Russ!!! He posted on my newer video and I think that if I reply to his post, he'll get an email saying that I did so and hopefully he'll read it. Maybe I can find out why he disappeared all of a sudden!

[my_mini_bike]

Also Mr. Robin "I dont do normal" has also disapeared..
he had some cool mini choppers.

[my_mini_bike]

He posted a video on youtube! he old video of him driving his kart, but it was added 5 hours ago.

[kibble]

OMG HE DID! Those weren't there just a couple of days ago! Actually that's a whole new video, you can tell by the better camera person:arf: :eek: :eek: And he added mine to his favorites!!!!!

I've noticed that Robin post's every now and then, disappears for a while then comes back.

[gocartkid]

Where do you guys go for extended periods of time? :huh: :confused:

VERY good question.....:toetap05:

:thumbsup: hey sup kibble, add a comment on russ's new video and see if you can get some info on whats he been up to? I personally haven't been on this forum long enough to know DIYgk members strengths but glad to see some people care. from what I've been reading, russ sounds like a very wise person hopefully I'll be able to cross paths with him on this forum...

[my_mini_bike]

Hey kibble, he replied.
You..
"Very nice! Lots better camera work on this vid too! I don't know if you got my other message, but where the heck did you go? We're all wondering at DIYGK."
Him..
"Still here."

Whats that mean :huh:

Can't think of a cool slogan?

[kibble]

I don't know, but I saw that too. I'm gonna reply to that and ask why he disappeared from THIS site.

[JerryAssburger]

That's gonna SUCK if we lost him.

[robertdjung]

I heard from Russ earlier, and he said he'll be back around, hopefully sooner than later. Said he's got some things going on that are taking his personal time.

That will happen! Life gets in the way of karting sometimes! :D

[kibble]

:beta1: That's the only face I could find that worked... LOL

Cool, so he hasn't abandoned us!!!

[bigbuddy29]
