    I'm pleased to see that someone's taken this on Bando. It is a great shame that after all Genji's heroic work with this, he felt the need to vacate the premises…

    I cannot be sure to be around, nor have enough time to devote to it; but I am very grateful to all those who have previously helped make this such a lot of fun, and hopefully will do so again very soon.

    However, I would like to take this opportunity to suggest that the 'teams' part of the game be either removed or reduced in value; say, to half points. This would simplify everything, make it easier to understand and eliminate the motivation for people not becoming involved until the eleventh hour!

    I was sure Genji would be back for this, sad to see no return.

    There have been quite a few new members recently so maybe Genji is back under a new guise. I still do not know why he went, it is only a forum no need to get worked up about anything.

    ps. Good work Bando. <ok>

    Unfortunately this is not the case, Mifune. It is not Genji's style.

    I also hope he will eventually reconsider. He was very much a driving force in this forum. Not only was he very enthusiastic, he was also a very knowledgeable contributor. In my opinion, he is the greatest loss this forum has suffered.

    Let us hope that things settle down into a respectful environment which will help prevent similar occurrences&#8230;

    Yes, I agree, I'm sure he wouldn't come back in disguise and we'd know him anyway, he has his own voice, definitely. It's not the same without him and the Sweepstakes were his baby too, an excellent idea.

    He got angry because of the red bull team orders. Blew a gasket pretty much, couldn't blame him since we are mostly a bunch of F1 nerds that have fits once in a while.

    Genji may not like some of the things going on within F1 but I can assure you that's not why he decided to leave the forum.

    • I think it's best that we don't take public guesses at his reasoning.

    I have missed the spat that saw genji leave. I won't ask for reasons why - but am sad that he has left - I had enjoyed his contributions enormously.
