Odd...I got a notification that 'Deleted liked your post in the thread What Classic Comics Have You Purchased Lately?' but I have no idea who just deleted an account...this will keep me awake at nights....
I saw that too. They must have got that unmarked Rob Liefeld video tape in the mail, where the phone mysteriously rings immediately after viewing the tape.
Seven days later, a barrel-chested hairy-armed pouch-infested Cable (X-Men, not a literal "cable") comes right out of the TV screen, leaps toward the viewer and...
We've all seen enough modern horror films to know what happens after that...

More than that, it's a terrible loss. Maybe he's just rebooting? I hope he's all right. Anybody have a way to check in with him? After what happened to brutalis, I get worried. And someone else deleted himself/herself a few weeks ago and I couldn't figure out who it was or could even imagine why. I miss them both.

Very true. We take a lot of things for granted in cyberspace, and we often forget that there are (usually) real people behind the names, and "life happens" to everyone. At any given moment, we don't know what may be affecting someone's personal life.
Hope all is well for mrp. He's a great contributor to this piece of the web.

Driver1980 is also gone. In the comics tidbits thread there looks like a bit of an argument between the two of them...

Looks like both mrp and Driver1980 (again). It seemed like they had a little tiff over in the "Comics Tidbits" thread, but unless things escalated when I was asleep or in Court I don't get it.
But I don't understand the account deletion anyway. When I was trying to decide if I was going to come back, I never considered deleting my account. I've never understood that at all.

I've never understood that at all. as someone who has deleted his account in the past I get it. When I did it my personal life was very stressful and I was distressed. I came on here for a diversion and got into a small disagreement and said screw it and impulsively deleted my account. Sometimes that is better because it can go on a direction that you would regret saying things in anger or frustration or just emotional pain. People deal with things differently.

Likewise. If I ever decide to leave, I'll just fade into the shrubbery like Homer Simpson. If something pushes my buttons, I just step away from the keyboard and do something more constructive for awhile, like songwriting or (gasp!) actually reading some of these damn funnybooks piled up everywhere.

People definitely deal with stuff differently. I frequently troll through the early days of the site and it's weird to try to piece together who said what through the deleted accounts. I think I probably have an open account at CBR for all that I haven't been to those boards more than two or three times since the melt-down.

Account deletion never made sense to me either. Unless maybe you're embarrassed by the majority of your posts, but that never seems t be the case. Then again, I have my own share of quirks that hardly anybody gets, so I don't try too hard to figure it out.

Yeah, it was mrp and driver1980 that self-deleted their accounts. As others have deduced, it appears to have been over a rather minor spat about YouTube ads over in the Comics Titbits thread.
Obviously each member will have had their own reasons for self-deleting...and very often with these things there will be stuff going on in a member's real life that influences a decision to leave the forum. Obviously it goes without saying that we all hope that both mrp and driver1980 will return to the forum soon. The place won't be the same without them.
In the meantime, speculation about why they might've self-deleted is natural, but probably not terribly helpful. Likewise, criticism of the act of self-deleting is best avoided in a situation like this. So, let's just hope that they will both be back soon and if there is stuff going on in the background that influenced their decision that it gets resolved soon.
Thanks everybody.

Yeah, I can understand the need to step away for a while, but I've always found the account deletion move puzzling. In any case, unfortunate that both decided to check out.
