It's quite sad that sparks has chosen the path to leave, I am sure he will be back at some point and yes he has injected lots to various debates, but I also believe that his constant political posts have been to the demise of some of our members. I remember a few past regular members telling me that the the forum had changed in the last few years as virtually every post was one from sparks! Do not get me wrong there is nothing wrong with a good debate but this forum was originally about apps, warez and pc related discussions but in my opinion it turned into a vehicle for sparks cause and I think that is why so many left, time will tell, i am surprised that Jamer let sparks carry on the way he did, he even gave sparks a position albeit a link checker but he obviously tried to encourage sparks to get the forum back to how it was. This forum has been here and outlasted loads of others over the years and Jamer has always kept it up to date, I am sure it will survive without sparks.
