Title: What happened to MMB (MagicMeatBall)?
Post by: WhiteFireDragon on Tue, 22 January 2013, 23:18:40: Ok I wanted to see what cool new brocaps there are, so I looked for MMB's subform. It's nowhere to be seen, and I scroll down and see it in the archives. Also his account seems to be deleted. Not trying to be a gossip queen, but does anyone know what happened to MMB? He was a rather noteworthy member that just all of a sudden disappeared.

Sall good. He is off on other endeavours it seems, but looks like he will be checking in once in awhile. (No one can leave GH for good)

I knew he was just recently still working on your poker, that's why I didn't think he'd just disappear with a bang. What I don't get is why just delete your account. If I were to leave the keyboard scene, I would have just left everything as is and go MIA.

Anyways, GL in whatever you do MMB. Your contributions on here will be missed.

Post by: SmallFry on Mon, 11 February 2013, 23:43:21: Please do not bump old threads. You can reach him by PMing his BroCaps account or by clicking the little email icon under his avatar/username. He sold all of his Click Clacks though. Or at least to my knowledge.

And the inevitable litigation. We’re all going to be sued for sure. Good thing I’m flat broke and have no assets to speak of.

I told you that sky blue wouldn’t flatter your new, “cuddly” figure, but would you listen?
