"B" is the main reason I now can go several days without checking the forum which for years was on my daily multiple visitation list. Skip never kept me from visiting.

This, exactly.

I think it's sweet that he can generate 4 pages (so far) of comments and discussion without actually even being here. 

I hope he's okay though. 

On a conspiracy note, did you realize that the absence of Skip coincides with the long time absence of Ken? 

Also, quoting Floorwalker:

The participation/non-participation of any one person isn't the reason to come around here or stay away.

It might be, if that person is Ken.

You know, when I first started using DVDProfiler and frequenting these forums I though that Skip was an alter ego for Ken allowing Ken to make comments that he couldn't make as himself. I'm no longer convinced that this is true, but...

I think the forums need a new version (preferably a big upgrade, like 4.0) to become active again.  We've had 3.7 for about a year and ran out of things to talk about.  The main arguments that still rage on are essentially the same ones that have been brewing throughout the product's lifespan (the parsing of Asian names, accents, etc.).

As for Skip, I've never personally had any issues with him, but can understand the frustration he caused in many others.  The one thing I can say is that he definitely loved this program and his [apparently self-imposed] absence is troubling.  I hope he's okay.

Srehtims said on page 1 that he knows whats with Skip but he isn't allowed or willing to tell us, but as he says, physical and health wise is not the issue, I am assuming Skip is ok.

Synnerman exactly brought it up to the point, everything that could be discussed about the current version of the program has been discussed many times.
The issues that are there, will remain unresolved until Ken decides to maybe come back here.

But I do not think that the forums are deserted. The General forum is pretty active imho and I see new contributors and voters on a daily basis. So this part of the program is still very much alive.

If we ever get an update again, who knows, but I can live with the current state the program has, the issues do not concern me that much anymore, I learned to live with them.

But would be cool if Ken would say something bout the development state and if Skip (or someone else) would say something about Skip's whereabouts.

Who's "Ken or Gerri" that I keep seeing mentioned?...just kidding. I'm sure they have their reasons.
