Rob was one of these type of blokes that wouldn't spoon feed you when you had an issue. Instead of just telling you the answer he would "guide" you to the answer.

Rob was always kind hearted and would always be willing to assist you if you had an issue, and he sure as hell hated it more than you when his modifications wouldn't work on your website.

I remember there were a couple times when I mis-read what his modification would do and would mention it in the posts and he would always be more than willing to pop up and change some code around to make it work how I had originally thought it would.

This came as a complete shock to me, as it did many, and just wanted to share my thoughts publically in wishing him peace and happiness in death.

Boofo was a very kind and helpful man who was known to never lose patience with those who asked a lot of questions. He was a great contributor to the vBulletin community in every way.

So sad to hear this news. I don't visit this place anymore, and just happened to stumble across the news on vBulletin.com.

I haven't spoken to Bob in a few years, but we used to speak regularly for a number of years when we both frequented these forums and ended up moderating together in the early days.

RIP Bob.

Looks like that News brought a lot of the older coders back here... it's a sad reason to do so, but we all did it in a way of respect, thanks guys...

when i came back here 4 months ago, it was because Robert asked me to, as he was asking me to takeover his work... he was aware of his own end, and as we were friends and actual pals, we discussed this and we thought it was a good way to complete the circle... so yes, i'm taking over the development and support of Boofo's work, but in a different way, as i am not in the same situation as he was... our tools are competing in a lot of ways, they will be merged as planned with him... this is for the next autumn, as i am not to rush that part now...

again, everybody, thanks for the thoughts!
