Newsletter?

Firefoot · 07-31-2004, 09:20 AM

Have I accidentially unsubscribed from the newsletter? I haven't seen one since 27th of April...

*Stinger* · 07-31-2004, 11:03 AM

Tom, unfortunately, has disappeared and is no longer doing the Bulletin. We're hoping to restart it by the end of the month.

Erwin_Br · 07-31-2004, 03:31 PM

Tom King? I thought he was off the team for quite a while now...

Anyways, I can't seem to contact him either.

(He's one of the voice actors on Bad Timing.)

No, Tom "Not King" Arbour was the newsletter guy

Tom "Not Arbour" King is a totally different guy. I suspect he's not even Canadian

Dang, those newsletters by Tom Arbour where funny.

Sad that he's not doing those anymore...

Mattsius · 08-02-2004, 12:27 AM

Yeah, the newsletters totally rocked.

So what do you mean he has "disappeared"?

That's the downside of working with people on-line. They'll go and leave as they please, and don't bother to inform you when they're, for example, on vacation.

Of course you're right about that, but my understanding was that Tom was one of the AG veterans, but I might of course be wrong about this. He's been around as long as I can remember anyways (that's not long btw

).

Completely true. In fact, he served as the News Editor and was one of the main forces behind AG for a good three years. He stepped down his involvement drastically in late 2003 and took over just doing the Bulletin...but then he's just disappeared and no one's heard from him in three months. I've tried to get in touch with him, but no dice.

*shrug* Some people just lose interest, I guess.

that sux, i realy enjoyed the letters..
is it possible to loose interest? i dont think it is....maybe it was drugs

BenjaminBunny · 08-02-2004, 08:25 PM

Are we sure nothing happened to him?

Yes, that's another freaky thing about internet relations. If something bad happens, you usually don't get to know. I could die today, and no one here would ever know. Freaky...

:eek:

That's why the world needs a peer-to-peer death notification network.

I'm almost agreeing with you.

Kolzig · 11-15-2004, 11:54 AM

I just had a kind of flashback sequence and I remembered this thread suddenly.

Has anyone still heard anything about Tom?

Pretty harsh, but understandable. I love the concise aggitation resounding in the phrase.

You know, I did offer to Evan that i might like to take up the Newsletter since I'm such a loud mouth. BUT...I already have no life. We'll see, eh.

Erwin...are you still alive...?
Come in Erwin........

Tom's still gone--one of four AG staff members who has left in 2004 and completely disappeared off the face of the earth.

The Bulletin is also gone, but stands a much greater chance of returning. More news on this soon.
