I think the main gist of it is that he had a baby, and for some totally crazy bonkers reason, he's choosing to spend his days basking in the sunshine of his new bundle of joy, rather than hanging out all the time with this miserable bunch...

I'm not sure if he's still training or fighting. Havn't had an update from him for a while, but as you pointed out, he's a missed member of the forum..

One of the mods will probably tell us he logs in every now and then to check what's going on..
