I am not sure what caused Vod's issues. Probably some kind of trauma. He has had issues for a while. I think the likely isolation caused by the pandemic probably made things worse for him.
I have no idea what kind of isolation Vod was going through, but that stroke certainly couldn't have helped his mental status. In fact, I'm pretty sure there was a correlation between when he announced that he'd had the stroke and the beginning of the bad judgement calls and crusading against OgNasty and (I think) one or two other members.
It is possible Vod's stroke happened around the same time he started getting into it with OgN. If this is the case, his stroke may have contributed to his problems.
I think Vod had a hard time lettings things go.
I hope he will be happy in his future projects but I am in doubt he will return.
Well, considering that he razzed Quickseller for not keeping his word that he was leaving the forum for good a while back (at least I think it was QS; it could have been Spoetnik), I have a feeling that Vod is truly gone for good. I don't get the impression that he made the decision on a whim, and he probably thought good and hard about whether he still wanted to be a member here--and he decided not to be.
I never said I was going to leave the forum. I said I was going to take a break around the time I was involved in the escrow controversy.
I somewhat suspect Vod is in fact gone from the forum for good. At least via his Vod account. Vod made a statement that made me believe him leaving is not by his own choice:
I probably will not be allowed to have any more contact with him after this week.
Vod had created a website about OgN in order to smear him, and doxed him. It is very well possible the situation escalated to something that forced Vod to not interact with OgN, and Vod may have been given advice to not use the forum anymore.
