Sadly our disco-routes didn't pass with Rodent, but I still knew him as one of cool Disco Vets and pretty sure we did met ingame and not at once.
And if that topic may be called 'leaving thread' as well, then it will be sadness leaving thread ever. Because we all understand that he really won't return back and log in and won't stay for some light at the skype chats.
That's really sad news to hear. I'm sure he did deserve for the best, but sadly.. Life is not that fair, as all of us expect it. My condolences for the family, friends and all of those who used to know our perfect member of the Community.
