355f seems to have slipped into the wilderness. His long running exchanges with TripEnglish were massively entertaining.

Last post nov 7, 2009 so yes he maybe left us.

Just went back to the oldest page of the main forum. Then started to work my way back. Quite a few names that used to be regular posters, but no longer seem with us.

Mostly people don't decide to leave. They just get busy and get out of the habit of visiting, and Beoworld is just the same as most forums.

I will admit, I have done this myself. It was an automotive forum I was very involved in before I even found Beoworld, but once I did, Beoworld completely distracted me and like you said, I became busy. The biggest motivator for the change was the people. The people here on BW are infinitely better than those wannabe-know-it-all-geeks (I have the most posts so listen to me! that sort of thing...) on every other forum I have belonged to.

That's the difference to other forums. BeoWorld feels more like a family, or some very good friends that talk about a common interest. But, you (almost) never notify when a regular poster fade away. It's the life of a forum, I know, but it's a strange feeling.

I keep in touch with "BeoFab", though not as well as I used to.  I believe that he primarily lives in NYC now, but he travels a lot to Hawaii and Europe (I think his mother lives in Switzerland).  I'll direct him to this thread.

For the record, I came on board with BeoWorld Mk1 and was always treated so nicely by BeoWorld'ers.  This is a really neat crew of people.  In fact, I remember after Hurricane Katrina hit this part of the world, one of the first things I wanted to do when I got on WiFi again (which took a while as there was no power along the Gulf Coast of the USA for several days) was see what was happening on BeoWorld.  When I replied to a thread, I was immediately bombarded by well-wishers asking how we'd fared in the storm - made me feel very important that persons from all over the world were thinking about us.

"BeoFab" from BeoWorld Mk 1. He was living on Hawaii and later moved to NY, NY and was one of the most active members.

I remember the pics of his flat in NY. I think he had a Beomaster 6000 or 8000 on the floor in front of the huges windows overlooking the NY skyline. He was a dedicated Jakob Jensen fan as I recall. I have looked for that picture but it seems it was loost along with Beoworld MK1.
