Holy **** I'd missed this.

So sorry to hear this. I echo what everyone else has said.

And enjoy your 3080!!

Hope you are doing well, all things considered.

Me too. Sorry to hear about this.

Can we have another 2020, please? This one has sucked something rotten.

Can you tell us some of your story Rob? Not the health issues, but things in your life that make you smile?

Mekrel · 7 Dec 2020 at 01:44

Oh Rob, I'm sorry to hear the news. I'm completely humbled by your post because despite the bad news, your response is very pragmatic and brave. I'll secretly want Arsenal to do better now to give you something else to smile about.

@robfosters thread revival but just read all 320 posts expecting to see some updates and no updates since this time last year. How have you been the last year? Is your prognosis still unchanged?

Even if I see no response I wish you all the best and a merry Christmas.

Curious about this as well. I thought you would have popped your clogs by now!

Not really a very nice thing to say really, although I know it was probably in friendly jesty banter way.

I still see Rob showing up all over the forum.

I'd have thought Rob would take something like that as a joke as intended.

Yes it was meant as banter as I know Rob is still with us! Apologies for any offence caused - not my intent but I could see why it is insensitive.

Phew, thought this thread revival was going to be some bad news. Glad it's not.

Yeah same here. We spend so much time on here and get to know other posters that it's a sad thought really that you can see people drop off the forums and yet never find out what happens to them. My wife knows i'm always on here but i doubt she'd ever think to post in the event of my death (would anyone care?)

You’d be surprised. There’s always someone that cares.

I'm always discussing this place with the wife because it's madder than Facebook.
I have told her she must start a thread in GD when I die and I expect everybody to say bad things.

Amazingly tactful. GD delivers once again.

I always wonder how many posters have disappeared for this reason.
