What's happened to member "Tarnish"?

[graham]

Chaps, took me quite by surprise just now to see that Tarnish has deleted his account and all of his posts. Does anyone here know why? Does anyone have any contact details for him please? Pretty certain that no one has upset him so would like to find out why he's decided to leave us. He was a valued member ( as everyone is) who had been with us from the word go. So sorry to see him go...;0(

[zz]

That's a shame and a surprise as he had only posted the day before.

Graham, I suspect you are missing his avatar too...

[graham]

Thanks ZZ, thing is, now that he has deleted everything, I don't even have his email address to contact him on. I would like to politely ask him why he left so suddenly though. Does he post on other forums do you know?

[graham]

Thanks Bob, I do always try to acknowledge as many posts as I can ( as do Jeff and Bill) but sometimes I'm out all day or some might just slip through the net. His military knowledge was excellent, so maybe he might rejoin at some point in time? I hope so.

Afternoon Graham,
From Kev:
"If he comes from Lincoln look at the top part of fighter control under heading closing account."
I'd imagine this is him, as he was always posting on FC. No idea why he left

Thanks lads, thing is I have no idea where he comes from. If I still had his details here I could pinpoint his location via his IP address but I have nothing to go on. I did see that member asking about closing his account of the FC Group so I wonder whether it is the same person?

[Dylan]

Assuming it's the same guy, he's posted this on FC:
"I've had some ill health health over the last few years and and other personal issues which has made me think about priorities. It doesn't seem to make sense to gum up the works with dormant accounts. There must be pressure on server space."

[graham]

Thanks Dylan, I saw that too. If it is the same person, then he certainly posted far more here than he did on FCG. Just seems rather strange to bow out without a word.

Hi Chalkyboy,

Really appreciate you sharing Russ's contact details with Graham.  We're all really baffled about how Tarnish got removed from the database... Hopefully Graham's contact with him will see his return to AFA... Really valuable member with some tremendous inputs since joining... So fingers crossed he'll re-engage with us.

Cheers mate.

Well folks, I exchanged a couple of emails with tarnish yesterday evening and it looks like he is set to rejoin us here which is great news. He says he is as much in the dark as to how/why his account here was deleted as we all are.

[chalkyboy]

In all seriousness guys could the picture/avatar have caused problems , only thing i can think of.

[Deleted]

I hope the problem i had is now fixed.....taken care off.....
and no Sasha is very happy with her avatar in fact new one taken few days ago......... 

[graham]
