I have him on Skype. But what i'm talking about is nobody does movie night or gaming livestreams anymore.
He left of his own accord. Not sure what the rules are surrounding his return, but I think it's allowed. I'd be cool with that, he was a decent guy, but it's up to him. Obviously he won't be reinstated as a mod, which really was the only issue). He still reads the forums, he popped in D3adtrap's livestream at least a couple times, as recently as a few weeks ago. And I'm pretty sure a few members of the forums still have contact with him, I remember playing a game of isketch with him in it a few months ago.
