I might have to leave TPE if I can’t guarantee my survival when I reach Top Poster status! 

Please ensure my survival by assuring me I’m not gonna get taken out. 

Hmmm…not too reassuring there KB. 

My guess as to the fate of these two guys, in order of likelihood, runs as follows:

1) They just got bloody disillusioned that, after all those years, all the work, time and effort…they were still playing the micros…and losing. So they jacked it all in.

2) They made the big time, and invested in the rip off RIO monthly sub., because, like mugs, they felt that more $ = more quality.

3) They changed careers, or lost their job, or suffered some other hit to their life roll, and had to budget more.

4) They fell out badly with a TPE member or pro.

5) KB and RFB decided for some business reason that top posters need to be silenced. Somehow they have got too big for their boots, and a hit is sanctioned.

I feel it starts to become dangerous around the 780 post mark. P-Aire should be taking precautions. Sadly, I expect praetor, hawkeyeK9, foldingacespreyo and bennymacca might already have met a grisly end. Ginger and Andrew have only survived because they are on the payroll. What kind of mafia are you guys running here?!?
