Where is Russ?

[kibble]

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

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

Hmm I was thinking the same thing . 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!

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.

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

 

[RobertD]

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

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

 

[my_mini_bike]

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

Lol jk

 

[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.

 

[RobertD]

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

 

[RobertD]

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.

Russ lives!!!

He posted a comment on my video!
