Perhaps he's taking a break. Even franko is allowed days off.

Ahem. Piru did no such thing. He wrote a client-side javascript filter (improving upon the behaviour of the built-in ingore feature) so that people that don't wish to read posts made by users of their choosing don't have to.

Perhaps franko's realised that thanks to this new filter, he's lost part of his target audience and got bored. Who can say? Last I read, he was pursuing legal action for targeted harassment or something.

Actually as far fetched as it sounds the thought did occur to me. He has been having issues with his account lately so i thought maybe him not being here isn't by choice. By the way i am quick to point out he has been quite well behaved lately so no reason to try and ban him anyway. Piru on the other hand hasn't...

If you have an issue with any of Piru's or indeed anybody else's posts, report them and leave it to the moderators to sort, the end.

That's a hint, by the way.
