No, Silence is over at EB now having fun in our politics section and doing well. 
I got the impression he withdrew from the RPSC section due to "irreconcilable differences" with certain individuals (some of whom also don't post here much any more). I didn't know he'd stopped posting here altogether. He was an interesting combination -- sort of like a can of petrol and a cigarette lighter Still, he obviously had some life experiences shared by only a few here, so I kind of respected his input, regardless of his "unique" style.

IIRC, Silence asked for his account to be deleted after Dave decided he had manipulated his way to high rep and dumped his rep down into the red.

Yes, couldn't agree more ! I know a few gorgeous women (models, video jockeys, young air stewardesses) on various fora and chatrooms. The net gives them opportunities to be themselves and to evaluate other guys without showing their look first. Two of them got married to some lucky guys they met online eventually.
Over here, we just need more Xbox360 developers and loose-lips Sony developers
The mods are doing a great job.
Yes, we had group activities in cafes and pubs a couple of times. Some of our mods obviously asked them out separately too. I would always tried to find out from the girls how it went. The guys always boasted about their dates the next day.
I remember one of the ladies flew from Hong Kong to join us occassionally (That 25 year old owned a cell phone retail outlet back then, that's why she could chat in our room during office hour ). I wanted to say "I hate you !" but I couldn't.

Yeah, he stomped off (and may, or may not have been banned too for bad behavior on top of that) in a huge huff after he got like -2000 rep points (TWO infamous red boxes as I recall).Bouncing Zabaglione Bros. said:
L-B was given the same treatment, but as we can see, you can't keep a virile italian down.

Well, actually, he got knocked down to -200, but from where he was that was probably, oh -700 or so?
L-B was much more effective in how he handled it. He just looked really sad, with a single tear rolling down his cheek at the injustice of it all from time to time.

Sounds risque.
During the dotcom boom circa 1996 - 2000. It's all gone now. I'm married and moved in 1999, so I didn't care about keeping in touch with those folks (Actually, wife was mad that I stayed up until 2:00am chatting. Err... working !). But they are out there somewhere.
EDIT: http://www.coolconnect.com. They had a video conference with some pop star on 2 huge, side-by-side panels for the launch too. LOL

I have to admit, I gave him rep out of pity.
Man, it's crazy. It's been 5, maybe 6 years that I've been reading this forum. I wonder if Rev still reads here. He was also in his own way a rather flamboyant poster. I see a lot of younger members being mentioned for mod status, and it just makes me old.
I remember the old AA articles and how amazingly insightful I found them years ago. It's just... wierd I guess. I'm only 25, but already I feel kind of outdated. Kind of like a relic of the past.Nite_Hawk

Well, I suppose it doesn't really matter how old you are, it's just wierd. Time goes by, things change, and you look back at the road you took and wonder if it was the right one. I'm working with supercomputer queuing systems now which is much better than what I was doing 6 months ago, but it's not the 3D graphics industry. On the other hand, I know people in the industry that have burnt out because it's not what they were hoping. It's all rather bittersweet. I hope jvd, reverend, silence, and the others are all doing well.

Yeah you say that but THEYRE ALL SONY MODS! If there's no caring about console affiliation, why are they all Sony mods! Why do I get the feeling so will the next one be!
It's like a politician saying he doesn't think deciding things on race is a good idea, but he has 100 people in his cabinet and they're all white. Then somebody says he should put some minorities in, he responds with, oh that would be terrible to decide things on the basis of race!
Hell you just attacked the entire American system of affirmative action Xbdestroya (which is fine by me btw
)Meh, I dont think the console mods are 100% unbiased, but they're not bad, I agree with you about that. It's just a few minor things that distress me.
All I'm saying is if the mods happened to be Acert, Scooby, and Powerkeg, I bet you'd think different (although I suspect you'll claim you dont care either way, I'm not so sure I'll believe you seeing we haven't tested it!).
