I was just wondering if anyone knows anything about MrRoo (Cliff Hutcheson). We talked about a scratbuilding project together with another couple of members. This was a while back, and I haven't seen him online ever since. I even went back to the original threads but didn't find any of his messages.. like they were all deleted.

Does anyone here know what heppened?

Thanks.

Short story, and God willing I won't restart any outstanding arguments, he left Armorama. There was disagreement with the way he left, things went flying, and he requested his name and all his material (posts, pictures, every piece of reference) removed. A true shame given all the knowledge he had. I miss him too.

Maybe someone here knows his email address so you can talk to him off site.

Im really sorry to hear that. He seemed to be a really nice and helpful guy. I was away for a while because of my work so I guess all this happened during that period.

Thanks for letting me know, Jeff.

I was just wondering the same about Cliff.
I'm very suprised (and sad) to hear he's no longer on Armorama anymore...

Hi ...

I too have wondered about "ole" Roo's absence.

I miss his knowledge and sage comments too.
If any hatchets can be buried, whatever they are, maybe we could persuade him to return...I hope so.

Give him our best wishes Steve, next time you are in contact.

Come back Roo...we miss the bounce.

Cheers
Peter

I was thinking the same thing. I was away for a while and when I came back I never saw anything by MrRoo...I just hoped everything was ok....

Thanks, Dave... actually I did sign up for BARV's campaign. I figured a year is enough time to get something built.
