Very very sad to lose one of the coding community, like when Andrew D went, boofo (Rob) was one of those coders who was always about and almost in every thread, my thoughts are with the people he left behind - +1 RIP Rob.

This is very, very sad news. I'd heard a rumour but didn't know if it was true or not.

Bob helped me loads when I first started using vBulletin - little things that others would find easy but I struggled with - he always had time to help 'cause that is the kind of guy he was.

Indeed, this is very sad news. RIP Robert.

What did he die from? At the link posted above said something about a checkup at the doctor which obviously found something wrong with this health but no more details were given.

looks like some guys here had the information as well, so it's not bad if i talk about it a little bit now that the news is spread...

i've been in discussion with Robert in the last weeks/months about his cancer and other health problems, and i think he deserve a little flame of respect just for the the time he fought his illness, bravely with all his heart to stay alive... we've been friends since 2002, we registered here at the same day and we worked alongside a lot of times... *(i even debugged most of his releases before they were released, for the fun of it)... like many, we had our fights - usually when his health of family situation were in sake... but he was a great partner and a good friend.

we fought the "fathers rights" together, even if our situations were very different. we also fought for vBulletin at the same level, for our pride most of the time, and for the sarcasms 200% of the time...

last time i read from Robert is about 3 weeks ago, and he said to me a simple thing that hurts... " sorry pal, i'll never say stupid things again "... that was his only words in his last email...

... one day, we will start saying stupid things together again... RIP Robert Hindal

Thanks for sharing that, Nexi. I think Bob's passing has left a hole in many people's hearts - he helped so many and wanted nothing in return.

I am saddened by this, I was talking to him few months back with him and he was helping me with a custom mod.
He was a good guy, and always use to talk to him on MSN.
R.I.P Boofo.

P.S:
Look what he left for me with his addon when viewing as a guest.

Your Sister's IP Address: xxxxxxxx | OS: Windows 7 | Browser: Firefox 13.0.1

Will leave his mod installed, because everytime I look at it, I think about him.

Only just seen this. Although only really started coding on vbulletin recently, have spoken to boofo a fair amount throughout the years. This is extremely sad to here. RIP
