in all the time i've been on this forum so far, i honestly don't recall catching MW's co-founder Shawn hanging around here even once.

anyone privy to why he does not seem active in at least this end of the MACROSS fan community any longer?

Shawn's a cool guy, but from what I know he's really busy and he doesn't have as much interest in the newer animated stuff as in the old-school, original Macross show and merchandise, so it's understandable he would not post about that.

That said, I think I did see quite a recent post of his commenting on some photos of vintage items in the Collector's forum.

Most importantly, he's the one paying the bills for all of this.

So he's more like the illusive man.

Shawn is like the wind, the hand of god, Skull and bones; quietly working in the shadows for generations. Guiding and shaping Global events and our daily lives in order to make the (macross)world a better place for you and I. You may not understand his methods but everything he does is for the greater good.

The short version is---he still pays the bills (which are considerable) for this site---if he stopped caring (and paying), the site would be gone quickly. (and above all else, that is why the site is moderated the way it is---it is still his place, he pays for it, so it's run the way he wants it to be)

probably we should all take the chance to thank him!

Yeah - that's what I thought too :-) Awesome forum, awesome website. Brings together so many cool people and so much anime goodness!! :-)

Shawn is currently updating the database/forums etc. I just turned the forums back online to see if it's stable and whatnot. Current skin is only temporary, we'll get it back to "standard MW colors" as soon as we get all the bugs worked out.

i'm missing the thread links which take you to the last page, and there are no other skin options when i click on the change theme button.

or am i doing something wrong? or perhaps we have yet to see an updated MW skin which hopefully retains most of the previous functionality?

I got to the forum by accident, clicking on the "MW Forums" image brings up the "we got work to do image". I clicked on the main menu image at the top of the screen and go here. Is that just me?

I got in via the MW con 2010 link. by the looks of it stuff is still kind of broken.

Yup... upgrade is not done. Shawn will try to do some more stuff on the weekend is my guess. No promises that it'll be done by then either.

Slowly but surely my friends.

Thanks to all the those who take the time to upgrade and improve these forums.

And an extra special thanks to Shawn for making it all possible.
