Well, simply put, the new year is off to a rather unhappy start.

As some of you (or all of you) might know, the great Flight1sim, commonly known as Flighty, has just left the forum. It started off with this message in a PM after he removed his avatar:

After that, his entire profile went barebones, and now it looks like the profile of a giveaway account that spammed up LTT.

His sudden and unprecedented departure, put simply, has shocked me. Just a few hours before he was all jolly because I sent him an archive of OpenBVE stuff, and now he suddenly flipped like a light switch and left.

REMEMBERING FLIGHT1SIM

He was a great member. We talked A LOT to each other about cars and trains (WRX STi 4 lyfe) and we had a great time together in the LTT RP club. Overall, he was a great member who contributed a lot to the forum with humor.

My own little shenanigans

I've started to pique an interest in OpenBVE development, which might make me slightly less active on LTT by 15-30 minutes or so, but nothing to worry there. You might find me more active on the BVEStation forums a little more too (my username there is B3 via Av U). That's that.
