Why? Even when he did play he rarely posted or talked on IRC (unless you had access to his private room). He had a major disconnect with the every day member.
EDIT: I thought you were talking about comwood :p Would be a good idea to actually read all the posts huh.
Why the hell would i miss comwood? Mickster may be older then dirt but at least you can have a decent convo with him. If you try talking to commie he goes inactive half way threw and you have to wait 9-12 months to try again.
Last I knew, comwood was expecting his 3rd? child, with Daria, and yeah on top of running his business, well... free time would be rather lacking I would think.
Especially given that the last time I recall seeing him actually active within PDM for awhile, he was seriously considering shutting ES down altogether because the userbase was down to something like just 1500 people for the whole of earth. given it's smaller again, and the actual server ES was on was failing horribly, I honestly don't see him bringing it back. it's a pity, but I think it's the truth :(
