And I offered Andy my last Rolo which he never took up my offer so I ate it.

Anyways I clicked on his account and it says the user does not exist, so looks like he has gone for good.
Hopefully he will be back once michigan has been moved to death row*.

*usamichigan - this is a joke and please don't take this as offence and delete your account because of me.

I'm deleting it again!

Will get in touch soon andy if your reading this, however my advice this time for him will be have a break from it and come back when he is ready to face one and all.

Makes it sounds like he's been through a horrendous ordeal not someone say tl;dr to him on a forum, the man needs to grow up

for those who don't know, tl; dr means 'too long; didn't read' :~D :~D . But sadly it was the 'sucks' comment that made him leave, even with the offer of a Rolo.

I hope it's not too long before Andy returns..it's not just our loss, he had a 'guest' following too!!!!

That he did. Although, probably not in Morecambe!

Andy is a nice man and a lot of fun to stand next to at away matches. His dedication to the club can not be criticised and I think a lot of his madness on here is borne out of an eagerness to fit in with other gulls fans. He is not malicious in the slightest, he just has a tendency to jump the gun a bit too much and not sense the true sentiments of some people's posts. I must admit that I do find his 'strops' weird to comprehend but that's only because I am not wired the same way he is. I can assure any of you, whether you like him, are tired of him, aggravated by him, that if you spent 2 hours in his company at a match you would soon form a very positive opinion of him.

We all chat, banter, interact on here day after day, week after week, our thoughts on Torquay United posted on a small parochial football forum are all we have to base an opinion on each other's character, you meet the same people in real life and you might end up having a completely different viewpoint on them thereafter. For example, you could meet me in real life and come to the conclusion I am a complete tosser.

Andy has gone, some may think its a good thing, some may think its a bad thing. I personally think the forum will be quieter and poorer for his absence but I get my 'Austrian' fix on facebook because I took the time out to get to know him so it won't affect me in the grand scheme of things. I think its a bit unfair to continue any character assassination now because he no longer has the right of reply.

I like Andy as a poster but if little things like that send him flying off the handle, then he really needs to steer clear of forums, especially when he leaves himself so naturally open with his posting style.

Yeah, that was me. I thought it was pretty funny.

(tl;dr is an internet abbreviation, meaning "too long; didn't read")

Andy was an interesting poster but he always seemed to take things way too personally.

We've met Ben agree you are......

Joking of course. Totaly agree with all of that, and thats all I was trying to get at, like Ben have taken the time to get to know Andy as I have many other members, was not trying to make it sound like Andy had been through some ordeal Roarjust didn't want people getting the wrong of the stick, Andy as Ben says is a fantastic person to be around.

Andy by his own admission does take things the wrong way, and from what he has said to me, I get the feeling he will not be coming on the forum for some time, if at all, but continues to read the forum.

Oh B,T,W Bix I got him into Boots/Laces... :na:

Very sad for this forum he will be missed.

Plenty of fans won't post their opinions on here, failure to agree with the chosen few always ends in ridicule. Lesson to be learnt by all forum users, we all follow the same team fgs and will gladly cheer them on together, yet get lambasted for daring to have a voice.

That's not the case with Andy though.
