I don't see any peace in forum just because Vod is not here, except maybe in your head OP.
I stopped following endless drama between him and other member, and this was best decision I maed.
What I can see now is a lot of unrest in forum because of members getting signature bans thanks to getting new moderator.
Vod has not posted in nearly 7 weeks. I don't think he is banned so I find it odd that he has been so quiet.
I think he announced this break before before, but he also have serious health issues.
