Figarti Silence. Where's Rick ? (1 Viewer)

[Fullyautomatic]

I have not seen a post from Rick lately. Any news on upcoming releases or surprises? We were informed way back when that he was having issues posting but its been a long time and would just like a little update.
Rick are you there????

I think that in another posting someone told us that he was now in China and that the "open door policies" of the People's Democratic Republic of China would not allow the Treefrog forum to be accessed in China. We are such revolutionaries on this forum that I understand we are to be tried and shot if any of us were to step foot to China. Andy must use an assumed name.

Well, it went like this...
Rick all of a sudden couldn't access the forum. He checked with his internet provider in China. They said it was a problem on our end. We checked with our host (which is Canadian, not US by the way) and they said it was on China's end. So there it is. He can't access the forum anymore and no one will fix it for him. Our host says they don't block any ISPs so to me it seems like it's on his end. We haven't added any extra firewalls or anything and Andy in Hong Kong has no trouble accessing the forum so I don't know what to say. In the meantime if you have questions his email still works fine and maybe you could post your question and his answer on the forum for others to view as well.
I'm hoping something changes over there soon. The forum is definitely lacking without his comments.

I emailed Rick a couple of weeks ago, and he emailed me back with some of his upcoming releases, of which I,m sworn to secrecy. He did say around June some new things should be out.

Rick's mother-in-law passed away unexpectedly in Taiwan a few weeks ago, and he has been in Taiwan attending to his wife and her family. He did not know when he would be returning to Shanghai -- his priority at this time is to his wife and her family.

When I was in Shanghai, I also could not access the forum from my laptop (using my hotel room's access) or the computer in the business center. However, I could access eBay. THEY simply do not like public forums.
