Wanting to learn more about the history of the site and those who came before (and a little bored at work), I wonder: who is this Splodge character, what did he do here, and where has he gone? I looked at his profile and just saw 'retired'. He seems quite the celebrity and well missed, so I imagine he was (is?) a good guy and I'm sure I'm not the only new guy (or girl) to wonder. Thanks!

Splodge is an icon here! If Splodge had a number (like in football) it would be retired! He was the ultimate mod! The helper as it were. If you had a problem he was the solver! He was a friend to all that entered here! He was the "go-to" guy. He was someone that you would have been proud to say you knew! You missed the boat by not knowing him! Anyway, thanks for asking! Hoped this helped a little bit!

Ohh, by the way, he passed away a few months ago suddenly and unexpected! Heart failure!

I know someone else can tell you more about Splodge than me.
So i have only one word 'Legend'

I actually had the chance to meet him when he was alive! He was a lot cooler in real life! A great bloke! I miss him!

Thanks guys! I didn't know he'd passed and I apologize for any sadness this brings up. My mom passed last year and I know how it is to feel that sudden loss. I can only hope I am as well missed when I go.

I'm doing my best to be a drunken arsehole and talk a load of shite. When I'm gone I'll be missed for all the wrong reasons but I'll be remembered!

It worked for mike tyson

so true, but not all wrong reasons T.

And Splodge, Sonic says it best

These two videos might help explain to you who Splodge was to us and our forum. RIP Splodge.

I didn't get to meet Splodge however.... I've been told so much about him that it almost feels like I know him (you know what I mean, right?)

All I know completely though is that he IS one of the good guys (he's not gone as long as he's in memories) & he was loved by many - that makes him a legend in my books

Well done with those vids tarmac.... great work & a great way to remember someone who thoroughly deserves it

Who's this Anfa character?

anfa is that drunken arse hole up there who talks a lot of shite.... thats all i know about him hehe

Splodge was one of the old timers who was able to "evolve" with the site as the site changed over the years.

He was the hardest working and most present mod and best spam monkey.

He was a good chopper who tolerated us Americans

Splodge and I had an unspoken contest before we were moderators to see who could get the most posts banned (posts had to be legitimate chops, not porn, etc.)

I believe I beat him by one with 5, but he's not here now to dispute that.

Splodge was too many things to list. I miss his presence here. He was our mainstay.

"He was to good to us lot"
