Very sorry

I came in a lot later than you, admittedly, but I didn't understand either. Took a long time to figure it all out. And only recently have I pieced together enough about Hooboy. I felt like I needed an orientation manual that didn't exist. A bit intimidating for a "newbie." As a result, I never expected to be much of a contributor, personally, but it just sorta happened (and I'm certainly not a major contributor, nor do I long to be. Just a member of the group. I don't have another group like this, which has increased my appreciation for this one.) And I won't likely ever meet anyone here, and never met "Daddy." TBH, I didn't quite know what to think about him. Once I realized that it was his benevolence that allowed for this to exist, I could easily respect and appreciate his "ways." They were based in need and reason and out of consideration of others. What a special "Guy!"
 
Anyhow, it's unlikely I'll ever meet anyone here, and I will read with some envy those of you who enjoy a Palm Springs Weekend or a MAL meet up in DC...but nevertheless I have been helped by learning from, participating with, and living vicariously through those who are a part of "here." I will miss it if it ceases, and I echo the sentiments of all who hope for its continuation. I was thinking today, however, that perhaps this is a sign for me to make my exit. I never intended to be checking in here like I have...it's meant so much, honestly...I know I would miss it, but I have to admit since this news yesterday, I have wondered if it isn't time to move on and be thankful for what has been and remember it fondly. I might rather do that than try to login here and find an error message. I don't know. I keep coming back to being thankful, though, and that's a good mindset, me thinks.

I have been around since the Hooboy era. When Hooboy passed Daddy had to deal with legalities involving keeping the site ( the Forum and review site were one entity then) going. If memory serves me well ( which at my age it sometimes does not) there was a period of darkness when it all disappeared. Daddy worked very hard to transfer much of the material from the old site to the new. Then the Rentboy arrests happened and that put a chill on everything. The review site and the Forum were separated at that time, and Daddy remained Daddy on the review site and assumed the Guy Fawkes persona here. There was again a huge amount of work while Daddy re-edited graphic reviews that could prove problematic in the post Rentboy chill. He gave so much of himself and certainly never got rich. I do not know what the future will hold for either site. Will there be a White Knight to step in and figure out a way to keep this going The way Daddy did when Hooboy died? I don’t know, but I am grateful to Daddy/Guy Fawkes for providing the review site and this Forum.

Good question but as several members already said, the rules prohibit the posting of escort reviews on the message center. That won’t change. There was a reason Guy Fawkes created 2 separate sites. It’s for all our protection, especially, the Administrators.

Glad there is no longer an issue trying to get onto the site. If there is one, please let me know.

I am very sorry to report that Guy Fawkes/daddy passed away this evening of heart failure. For over a month he remained in the hospital unconscious and on life support.
 
His passing touches us all. He was a man who dedicated his life to providing a Forum where men would feel free and comfortable talking about all sorts of topics that covered our life style.
 
Having worked with daddy since he started this site I got to see first hand how much he cared about people and viewed us as his family. He was a very bright man with a love for life. He will be missed.
 
RIP Daddy/Guy Fawkes

I go back to the days of Hooboy, but when Daddy took over, I actually remember being somewhat confused by Guy Fawkes, as I didn’t realize he and Daddy were the same lol. But I’m grateful for both of them lol.

I never knew Guy Fawkes, but I've been a participant in the message forum for years. I was awed by the many eloquent and touching tributes to him.
He definitely made the world a better place,, which I think is the goal of human existence.

I have now just read this sad thread. Even though I know none of you personally, we all share a common bond here that now is broken. Like some of you have written, reading this forum was a regular feature of my morning coffee wake-up ritual. There was always the humor, the information, the humanity, the passionate arguments, and of course those amazing hot pictures over in the gallery. This forum really helped me navigate a part of my life when I first ventured into the pool that was the subject of so much of this board. Certainly, the reviews at Daddy's were a major help for me in that regard. And it was good to discover that so many issues that I struggled with were common to many of you here. To have fostered this incomparable community board was such a wonderful thing for Daddy to have done. I wish I could have shared cocktails with the man at least once. RIP, Bill/Daddy and heartfelt thanks to Cooper for all that he has done. Thanks to all of you who have shared your thoughts and remembrances of the man we have lost. Finally, I hope that somehow our community will survive.

Saddened to read this news.
 
Honored to be among the many people Daddy influenced through this site with his commitment and his kindness.
 
Touched to read all these posts as one very small measure of his fine legacy.

What awful, awful heartbreaking news. I was hoping against hope for a better outcome. My condolences all of us. Rest in Peace Guy/Daddy. Thanks for everything. And thank you Cooper for keeping us informed and everything else you did.

Words are hard to find. I’ll steal from John Prine...
 
We are the lonely, all together
All together, we're all alone
-We are the Lonely
 
You created a beautiful community Daddy / Guy Fawkes. We’re all alone without you. Rest In Peace.

Rest in Peace Daddy. This is heartbreaking news.

Having been a frequent user of the information provided by many eloquent users here and the facilities provided by daddy, I wish to express thanks to all.
Thank you for your sincere and heartwarming insight into the man behind this site.
Pray that Daddy attain peace in heaven.
