That's kind of a shame, he seemed like one of the most level headed furries with a token of popularity, and unlike most of the over thirty furry crowd didn't routinely place his head up his ass. Likely this may be temporary, but the employment thing is likely, considering his request seemed google-spider minded...
Please blank all references to my RL name and to "Triggur" on wikifur.
There are a lot of other possibilities though. Arch-conservative family elder is dying, and he wants to sweep the fandom under the rug while other family members vie for the money (ha). He's launching a political career, and has more sensibilities when it comes to priorities and skeletons in closets than our friend Scott Malcomson did... or any number of other things.
Most likely though, he'll be back. The fandom is like the ghetto. You can take the boy out of it, but you can't take it out of the boy.
