Just curious to see if anyone can answer this for me. Anyone know where he went or why he left. It was nice having some intelligence on the site and he was a pretty big part of the community here.

Maybe some of the OS would know?

Got engaged/married. New job being a firefighter or EMT. Something like that. Basically really busy, and can't be bothered to come on here.

it took up too much of his time being mean? That may sound harsh but the way he treated younger members was just mean. Mountain biking should be an inclusive sport not Skateboard jr.

Please understand i wish the guy all the best and hope he returns with a slightly different.

It's life not kindergarten. They usually deserved what they got.

No one who is new to something deserves a tongue lashing, A Kindergarten teacher wouldnt yell at you for not understanding algebra.

Most of the time, they weren't new. They were arrogant teenagers who "knew it all"

The times he has come back, be it for a brief time, he was a different person. I'm assuming you missed those posts.

David Makalaster was a dick, I had no respect for him, and I was happy to see him go. He could have been a good member, he was wise enough to be, but it was too bad he had to be prick about every little thing all the time.

generally when you piss enough people off it takes a while for them to get over it.

In my opinion it was only the idiots who he slagged off. As an example, if someone posted "wat wheelz shoild i get 4 my norco?" then of course he'd slag them off as they put zero effort into the post, didn't describe a type of riding, price range, bike, what they're looking for in a new wheelset, etc. If people proved that they'd done even a bit of research and were overall helpful in their first posts then I think David Makalaster was very helpful. Maybe that's just me though.

Either way, massive respect for the FF/EMT job.
