I just read the front page today. This is very saddening, and there's not much to add to what's already been said. I regularly read this thread but never posted. The only thing to say is FCUTA!

Nice move by EG with the blog post and Oli Welsh dealt with the sensitive subject matter well. I thought it was a nice touch.

Agreed.

Yeah nice tribute EG. I remember Foo being a regular on the official Playstation forum about 6 years ago. RIP mate.

My father in law also has cancer. FCUTA!

The tribute doesn't surprise me. This place is really rather lovely. I know it, you know it and Foo knew it. Gawd bless us all. RIP foo.

Terrible news, and I'd also like to give a quiet pat on the back to Oli and the EG team. This is how you make, foster and care for a good on and offline community. RIP Foo.

We lost one of the good guys, but he went down fighting.

RIP Foo.

Condolences to your family.

I, too, just heard about this from the front page, then went to read the last entry in the blog, which has had me in tears.

Rest in Peace Foo.

Been away from the forum for a while and saw the tribute on the front page. Had been following his blog but been super busy the last couple of months. Nice one EG.

RIPCgamer heaven, foo.

Read the news this morning and thinking about it now, it's been at the back of my head all day.

Only knew Foo from a couple of games and PM's when he mentioned his illness.

Just want to add my condolences to his family and friends. He was definitely one of the good ones.

Just to let you guys know that thanks to an idea somebody here PM'd me with (I won't mention who but if you want to come forward please do, and thanks), I contacted a few racing game developers asking about the possibility of including a tribute to Allie in one of their upcoming titles.

The nice folks at Simbin promptly got back to me and expressed interest in doing such a thing, so I'm glad to say that they are going to include Allie as an AI driver in their upcoming game GTR3 when it releases.
