    Default Anyone know what has happened to?

    Al Bundy, prolific reviewer, but nothing since 07/01/2024.

    Pub SignMan, nothing since 10/09/2025.

    Both are on 3387 reviews.

    It doesn't bode well, but here's hoping that someone knows something.

    Or have I missed something?

    Well PSMs last forum activity was yesterday according to his profile page, maybe he's run out of pubs.

    I'll add London Calling/John Grey to the list, not been seen on the forum since November 2023 with last review May 2023.

    Am sure the info is probably more widely known, but prolific photographers John McGraw and Graham Mason, not added new photos for a number of years?

    I think Graham Mason got the hump about something, can't remember exactly what, and just left. No idea about John McGraw who was very prolific.

    I think the McGraws took issue with the sudden influx of Biters 'taking over the site' and left.

    If I remember correctly, it was because on the forum he had 'Spritzer Swallower' above his avatar which he took exception to

    As an ex-'Biter', I'd like to apologize to the McGraws, although based on the amount of reviews and forum posts I've made in my eleven years on here, I've barely touched the sides.

    I can't remember if it was you or Tris who wrote that you'd seen London Calling in the Express Tavern a few years back, but don't know whether that was before or after his "disappearance" from the site.

    Those are amazing reasons to leave, if true! What strangely fragile egos.

    Another departed with no backstory that I know of is John Bonser. He had a very specific style of reviewing.

    PSM is around my age so it's perfectly plausible that he might have had kids/other pressures on his leisure time.

    Tris was the spotter, but can't remember when.

    “Spritzer swallower” has an entirely different meaning to a German speaker, so maybe that’s what offended him (if he speaks German that is).
