sven666 - where did he go?

Post by IronGiant »

Where did the user who goes by the name of 'sven666' vanish to? He seems to have disappeared off the face of shmups!

Some people just phase out their attention span from one hobby and start focusing on another. Sven sounded like a successful guy who had taken his shmup hobby to the utter limits. I'm sure he will be sniffing around at some point. Personally, I had a lot of respect and admiration for the guy. Never had an inflated ego and was always the helper with a great amount of experience.

He will be back i'm sure.

What I meant was I couldn't find any of his posts, but strangely enough I can now. Weird ......

He also hasn't posted for a while. Must be on holiday.

Yes, he's fine. I was in contact with him yesterday. His other hobby, knitting, takes up lots of his time lately.

He is getting old :P

He doesn't seem to be posting as much as he used to, neither here or anywhere else.

You know who I'm worried about? Brian, hasn't been spotted in months. Had no reason to think he was gonna drop off the face of the planet either.

His last post was only about 3 weeks ago... :roll:
Nothing to worry about methinks, as everyone takes a break from posting once in a while due to whatever reason. (living life, burn out, losing interest, not in the mood to post, etc etc.).

He's probably being busy playing Little Ralph and visiting dedicated "platformer sites" or whatever. :P

Yeah - I'd missed Brian and Sven, but we all go through patches of limited access - I just had a bit of a hiatus - and once you get behind and miss a week or two, clicking the 'view your posts' link can feel like quite a mammoth task, as playing catch-up is always a bit daunting.

They'll be back!

Bridget, from what I know, sort of left the Shmups forum in favor of a new hobby: bullet hell stuff, boss rushes, and time trials in LittleBigPlanet.

Err, he's had a PM sitting unread in his inbox since March 29, but thanks for your two cents and the rolleyes. (Last time I checked his profile, which must've been more than three weeks ago, he wasn't showing any visits since that time.)

Edit: Actually just caught up with him in PM, I guess that old PM fell through the cracks somehow, so mission accomplished!

jpj pledged to post far less in upcoming times, but then he made a beautiful post in the "How to try hard" thread, so I dunno.

Not just sven. There are only 3 users online at the moment.
Noticed this exodus the other day. Very few posts and views by anybody recently.

swedish girls are REALLY imba.
A friend of mine went to spectate a counter-strike women only competition once. One of the finalist team was swedish or norwegian, can't remember.

Most of the members of that team could have been models.

That reminds me. Remember that black kid who I thought was good at STGs? Turns out BWR is easy and I just suck with a keyboard. I beat it on, like, my first? second? try with a USB Saturn pad.

The stuff down the bottom of the page is...

The thing is, the English nightclub pics seem to come from Newcastle, which was a Viking stronghold - So what went wrong in the meantime?
