G might be sitting in Bangkok right now as he was talking about going around April.

The forum will be just fine without G and Mixx. Solid posters will come, and they will go. No one person leaving will have a huge impact on the forum, not even Roosh. This places strength is in the community, not in any one or two individuals. It would be nice to have Mixx and G around, but if they choose to not come back, others will fill their shoes. IMO, HC has been the most valuable poster since I have joined, and he has only been here since November like I have. So we lose G and Mixx, but gain HC. Maybe we will lose HC eventually, but someone else will step in to fill his shoes. Things will keep movin on regardless of who comes or who goes.
Real talk. I hope guys don't take this particular post as hating though - on the internet people are quick to attack just about everything as negatively as possible if they disagree, instead of truly reading what someone has written. There are plenty of instances where someone focused on one or two words within a post, and went off on a nonsensical riff when they obviously didn't understand the post they read. I enjoy reading the posts and bantering with many of the guys mentioned. And lets not forget, some have their own blogs that you can easily drop in on. Others are maybe using this as the impetus to start their own thing. But lets also not forget that some of them decided to withdraw and withhold their contributions because of decision Roosh made, with hopes that the forum would be weakened, thus forcing Roosh to reverse the decision. That's selfish, no matter how you slice it, no matter what the justifications. I try to respect men, but I don't worship anyone. Instead of bemoaning the departures, step your own game and contributions up. I'm sure even the departed would agree with that.
I also think part of the ebb and flow of the forum is due to the fact that you go through periods where there really isn't anything new to discuss. There's annoyance when someone starts a dupe thread, but it's also possible that the previous thread didn't come up in the search (or yes, they didn't search thoroughly enough). Or someone bitches because someone bumped an old thread, when in fact that might have been the right thing to do instead of starting a new one. From time to time some of the veterans were a bit intolerant. New people are continually joining and lurking, so these things will happen. Occasionally stepping away might actually be good for the individual, and the forum as a whole.

As the forum has been operational for years, I can tell you that members drop in and out all the time. Asking where a forum member is would be like a guy asking why some girl hasn't called him back.

I like G and all, but maybe he's doing a little time. Let's face it: shit happens.

I don't care whether G posts on the forum or not. I like his blog, but he can become annoying on the forum when he gets into little battles with other members and resorts to name calling and posturing, which can be extremely annoying in an online community.
I haven't been on as much myself lately due to long hours at work, so I didn't know if I missed out on something. Perhaps G made a "grand exit" similar to Mixx that I wasn't aware of. Seems like he just quietly stepped away.
Either way, G and Mixx had a big presence on the forum. Very colorful personalities.

I pretty much agree with Hencredible here.
TBH neither Mixx or G have had a big impact on my game. In fact most of the golden nuggets of information that I've gained from RVF have been from members with under 100 posts who drop in and drop out, along with one or two of the more prominent members (who have posted in this very thread).
However, Mixx and G are colourful personalities and add flavour to the forum. Roosh's writings have drawn in a great mixture of men from all backgrounds and having to deal with their behaviour and ideals (which may conflict with your own) is one of the things about the forum which doesn't make it a Reddit-like aspie circle-jerk.
Although again, like so many others have said, it's probably good to have some time off and chill - else you become a Keyboard PUA who only lives the playboy lifestyle in their head while actually spending their time arguing with trolls.

Historically he takes a break every now and then.
Maybe he's busy, or who knows? He could be swooping in Barcelona, or possibly he broke his hand boxing and cannot type. You also might find the answer if you read the 48 Laws of Power.

Given that GManifesto is a colorful poster who writes volumes about swooping fly lizards and jetting around like Mayweather yet has asked for advice on this forum about Ryanair and has never been verified by anyone, I miss his contributions even though I read them for entertainment.

Where is that post where he asked about ryanair? That's hilarious.
Nothing is more shocking though than him saying he was going to put out a thread about how to get by in Southern California without a car. That's just ridiculous...

I think he got sick of people disagreeing with his deeply libertarian views on social spending and taxes. I read a very angry post of his about it shortly before he stopped posting.
He also famously had a meltdown about the "casual racism" on the forum because afronoob used the term "snow hoe." That was particularly entertaining.

I spent 4 mos there without a car a long long time ago. Not fun, but doable.
There's definitely no life to be had without a car in Socal. Period.

I'll wager you a bar tab...contingent upon us being in the same area and wanting to hang out.
I'll describe a highly desirable life in SoCal - indeed, a life better than post people will ever live - that doesn't require a car.
It's a practical lifestyle involving income, good times, and access to girls.
By now, most guys know that although I am direct and to-the-point, I don't bullshit. There are no tricks. It's an honest bet.
Wanna take the wager?
Just flesh it out here. Why the secrecy? Unless you have a private driver (which invariably means a car), you won't have no life in Socal. Cabs are extremely expensive and distances between places are great. It's a well-known fact that Socal is a place where the car factors heavily into one's daily life.
