I agree the behaviour doesn't seem reasonable but he came across as perfectly sanguine by PM.

Franko is a very nice guy. He has helped me when I was in need, and has answered me when I had a doubt.


I don't want you to go away, Franko!!

It's a shame though. While I didnt always agree with him (would be a boring world if everyone thought the same way anyway), he was a bit of a breath of fresh air to the often stale world of amiga forums. I for one, will miss the big girls blouse  :)
(joking(sort of)(about the girls blouse, not the missing part))
Near as I can tell this is where I write something under the guise of being innocuous, but really its a pot shot at another persons/peoples choice of Amiga based systems. Unfortunately only I cant see how transparent and petty it makes me look.

Its a shame he's gone, I'm must admit to being more an amigaworld.net fan, thats where I still post the most but recently because of the amount of interesting topics and lighter, funnier attitudes around here, I did start posting on here more, and I think it was down to Franko, it rear today to see someone new to the whole net thing and into Amiga as well, and he did seem to get really into it, his 2,000+ posts proves that and his weird but wonderful web site. I'm surprised hes just deleted so many posts and closed his web site with out no word why, but what ever the reason I hope he ok and continues to enjoy his Amiga! Where every your are Franko, even though your time was short on here you will be remember as a true AmigaN! After all not many users would get a 3 page thread about there where they disappeared.
 

 PS: Any one read his final Blog, on the 28-12-10

A wee tribute to the Amiga...

The Amiga is the best computer to me
always has and always will be,
It may be old and past it to some
but the Amiga to me is still number one,

25 years of pleasure and joy
I have got from this amazing "toy",
The world of computing may have moved on
but in reality the Amiga it still lives on,

I say this with feeling I say this with heart,
don't diss the Amiga or tear it apart,
At the end of day in whichever manner you choose
use Amiga with pride in all that you do,

To the Amiga Community I have but one plea
it is quite simply let the old girl be,
We can talk about the future we can talk about the past
at the end of day the Amiga will outlast
all that came after or is still yet to come
will never take away what the Amiga has done.

So I say to all Amigans lets no take sides
just enjoy what we have and talk about her with pride.

(Just found this thread).

Maybe not (mainly because Jesus didn't exist), but when I needed some help he popped a few DVDs of shareware into an envelope and mailed them too me from Scotland and refused to even let me send him the postage costs via PayPal.

He was a great guy with a good sense of humour and was genuinely interested in helping others (like many other people here).  It is always a shame to lose someone like that.  I hope he comes back.
