    This is starting to sound like some conspiracy theory here. I'm looking at the grassy knoll...

    Are you trying to suggest Big Albie shot himself at the suggestion of an alcoholic space bum from the future?

    *sniff sniff* I must return to my copy of "Amy Gets a Tan", for it reminds me of the Big Al himself.

    Red Dwarf was awesome. Too bad it ended horribly.

    They've just been commissioned for a ninth series, fingers crossed it won't be like the special.

    What special? And isn't it a bit late? That show ended a long time ago, it'd be like bringing back Dead Like Me (which they did, and ended up being the worst movie I've ever seen.)

    Hey, BA; check your PM

    Wow, can't believe I entirely missed this thread! Yeah, it's not the end of all things blessed, but Albie is a good dude:) I didn't see the Wesnoth thread as it's not my type of game. It is utter disrespect though for anyone to insult another member here for the sake of douchebaggery.

    I really was a bit put off with TA as a community the first tine I saw BA's integrity insulted back in the Triazzle thread. And I noticed he laid back in the cut to not try and steer public opinion, but to let things take their course.

    I think time will tell, but I bet Albie's reviews will be sorely missed for some time to come; just look at the barren "User Reviews" Section of the forums!

    Later on bro;)

    Seriosly it's coming back? Woooo smoke me a kipper i'll be back for breakfast.

    P.s. if somone told me they didn't like my review i wuld tell them to ****ing do one. I think reviewers should be less polite when deaing with these people.

    It's a shame really, I remember before BA became the "official" reviewer, he was just another regular forum poster like the rest of us. The thing that made him standout was while we were (and still are) busy posting short little "man this game rocks!" "it's soo expensive!" etc. BA was always one of the first guys to buy a game and give it a full on review. Pros cons and even a BA rating. He didn't have to but his reviews almost always helped me in making purchase decisions one way or the other. I know his reviews and presence will be missed, but I think if we all took his approach and thought before we spoke, things would be much nicer round here.

    Don't wanna stay off-topic for too long, but yeah.

    "In late September 2009, rumours in the Red Dwarf community suggested that a brand-new full-length series had been commissioned by Dave, although Dave has since neither confirmed nor denied these rumours. Robert Llewellyn recently confirmed these rumors to be true at Dimension Jump XV via his twitter account, his comments saying "Series 10 of Red Dwarf announcement just been made at DJ 09. To clarify the scripts have been commissioned, wont be filming til 2010"."

    What the fvck would be the only thing that comes to mind after reading this (my apologies).
    But in honesty, this guys voice and reviews were what made me want to join this forum and how I decided to start purchasing apps for my itouch, now i have so darn many I doubt a 64 gig would even hold them all. He filled this forum with more contributions of his own time than anyone else and has most definitely had the most profound effect on this community as a whole. If some kiddo really caused his departure, then seriously ftw man, time to go fvck yourself.

    He's gone... Sigh..for me, he was truly the paragon of how members of any community should act..he even freaking answered my 22pms to him about my stupid broken iPod...I'm gonna miss this guys reviews..

    Sorry for the infractions, pardon me if you can.

    Well, lately he has been taking his anger on the dev for Wesnoth, comments like "Less talky, more fixy" are almost funny but he can be downright disrespectful, he's very immature and it can be irritating. One guy even registered so he could ignore his comments, it's easy to see why someone like Big Albie could get annoyed with this kind of childplay. I've even been eating less sushi latetly...:(

    Well, Albie did say this to eatmosushi,

    "How about I kick the stool out of you first? I'm sure all that sushi eating doesn't make it smell as sweet as you'd like to think."

    I feel bad for Big Albie.

    Another great person gone from this forum.. :(
