Sachys: OFFICIAL ANSWER:

As previously reported, Ian's health took a dive for the worse. Whilst he is still ill, he intends to return to the forum - his appearence tonight the first of an ongoing Ianfest of shorter, but perhaps sweeter appearences.

I will not divulge the details of Ian's health - nor respond to any comments. This is simply me passing a broad message I've been asked to pass on...

Ian feels somewhat overwhelmed by the PMs he has recieved, this thread and the general response to his absence. In his current state of health, he has decided to recline for the evening and will respond as best he can over the coming days / weeks etc as he feels he can to personal messages and the likes, though his health is serious enough that he may find this difficult, so please be patient and YADA!

One specific quote:

"Its good to have spoken :) "
Thanks for the update, and good luck Ian :)
Good luck, Ian! Get well! :)
I didn't know the illness was that serious either.

Ian, I hope you're OK man. Get well soon.
Damn

I knew he was unwell but shit.

All the best man, take care and get well soon.
In general I think it's a dubious idea to get too wrapped up emotionally with the users for an internet forum or message board, but there are a few posters that have fallen by the wayside that I've missed myself here, namely CalamityRanger and nondeplumage. But people come and go on forums as much as in jobs, clubs, activity teams, and other such things.

I always liked SimonG. The worst I can say about him is that he was a tad thin-skinned, huffy and defensive when laughing off someone's surly retort would have better served him.
