There was a problem with him and another member, where he said something about his life and appariently someone hit him below the belt for it, and they didn't apologize and he said no one stood up for him so he felt extremely hurt and left... he's still on the Avatar-Forums if you ever want to talk to him or get the full story. I felt really bad for him. I didn't see what exactly happened. I tried to get him to come back but he's still pretty hurt over the whole thing.
And awesome! Glad to see someone else join us, we'll have a blast
