I'm so behind folks. Been focused on work and school since January. Finally graduated last week! Yay! I know this has probably been asked a million times, but why did Rob close the Forum? Is there any chance he will re-open? I hope so because it's apart of my (our) lives? Glad to see some old faces and friends. My Reo's (Han and Chewie) are still going strong.

Hope everyone is doing well.
Is "Rayonati Sloth" Tim? If so, good to see you bro. It's been awhile.
Nice to see another familiar face! (Well we really can't see your face but you know what I mean.)
Rob cited several reasons in his decision to close up the forum. ~>
Closing the forum
He did cite wanting more time to pursue other interests in context of how much of his life he has dedicated to just Reos Mods over the last years.
And as you all know having to check in to a forum to keep us all herded together and not running amok (too much) and respond when needed (you Chatty Kathy's youse) was probably a lot of work.
He had some business concerns he hinted at too. The 2015 run of Woodvil's didn't move as quickly as previous production runs. (There are still some available.) The resin mods thing just didn't pan out. (Not that we didn't want them but he wasn't gonna sell a mod that melted.) And the new 14500 mini's didn't move too hot. (I couldn't find much promotion for them either so...) Add it all up: He makes mention in that forum closing thread about needing to do staff cutbacks.
At the same time he is still with us as he said and he is still making metal Reos and supporting everything. Could be a long time coming before more Woodvil's show up - that was a very labor intensive thing for Rob. So if he wants more time to pursue his gee-tar work that's off the table.
It does make me wonder though: I believe he thought interest in a Reo was slowing. He closed his forum... less than 60 days before the deeming regulations popped up - and I think we have been keeping him busier than ever with orders since. And he keeps filling them.
