Missing: One Senior Site Staff/Adminstrator/Chocobo

Update by: :kaoclove: Kyono.:kaoclove: Yesterday at 03:52 PM.

At EoFF, we, the Site Staff, are dedicated to not only bringing you all of the most up to date news regarding Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts and the Mistwalker games, we are also dedicated to giving you the most comprehensive guide to every single one of these games. We feel we've done a pretty good job, too. However, work has slowed to a crawl recently, and this all comes back to one same reason.

I...I don't know how to break this to you people but...Loony BoB <---- :shoot: has gone missing. We can't find him. He could be face down in the back of an alley somewhere in downtown Edinburgh, or even worse, he COULD be somewhere like Wolverhampton. Or Rhyll. I don't know. None of us know. And without him here to head our team and organize everything, we're falling to pieces. SamuraiD has disappeared into a pit of despair somewhere, FlyingMullet has fallen back into his old ways and started hitting the bottle again; he can't even tell the difference between FFVI and FFVIII anymore. I've never seen him this bad. theundeadhero recently made a return to the Site Staff forum after an absence, and well...the state of things hit him really hard. You have to remember, guys, he left at a point when the Site Staff were at the peak of their powers. He returned to find our beloved leader gone and the place looking like Iraq. He was so distraught he killed a man and we had to send him to the foreign legion so he didn't get sent down for life. We won't see our dear friend again for a long time because of this.

Azar and Strider have convinced themselves that it's not really happening and that BoB <--- :skull: is still with us, they've built a Chocobo out of yellow towels, kiwi feathers and various Eyes on Final Fantasy members hair and have "meetings" where they sit and talk to this abominable creation to try and discuss the future of the Dirge of Cerberus section. The only person who is apparently unaffected by this is Spatvark...now, we all know what Pete is like. There have been whispers that he's the reason behind BoB's <--- :quina: disappearance, the rage that has consumed him for years finally got the better of him and he took it out on sweet little Towns. Of course, in public he gruffly denies this and pledges his allegiance, but you never know with that one.

As for myself? I miss my Townsy-wownsy <---:kaofight2: . The comforting arm around the shoulder whenever updating gets too hard, the little smile to let me know everything is okay...I can't function properly anymore. A broken man. EoFF without Loony BoB <--- :down: itself is broken. It's incomplete, like someone has taken the Mona Lisa and cut her nose off.

And so, we cry out to you, gentle public. Please help us, as a service for us and for yourselves. Any information you can give us about Loony BoB's <--- :barf: whereabouts, any leads, anything. Help us find him and bring EoFF back to glory! You can join the forums and PM us Site Staffers with knowledge of his whereabouts, or e-mail me with my address here with any information you may have. He was last seen somewhere around forum member fire_of_avalon's house enquiring if she might give him some of her hair to add to his collection.

Please, anything you know might solve the case. Eyes on Final Fantasy thanks you!

Name: Daniel Peter Towns
DOB: 4th March, 1984
Gender: Male
Location of Birth: Auckland, New Zealand
Location of Residence: Edinburgh, Scotland



Biography
BoB, something like the 208th EoFF UBB member, joined EoFF exactly one month before Kishi and slowly began posting up to the point where he had 14 posts, at which point he complained about how the chocobo avatar (as seen above) was too cool and the next-level avatar (as avatars were levelled at the time) was too sucky. Shortly after, the avatar level system was changed so that as you have more posts, more avatars are available however you can continue to use the avatars you used in the past. BoB was happy and continued to post. BoB has never changed his avatar since the day he joined back in August 2000 and it has become his trademark.


Thee first people that BoB got to know at EoFF include...


Gilgamesh? - First person BoB noticed.
Coach? - First person to say his screenname right (ie, BoB and not Bob).
Lilly Rinoa Landois? - First person BoB sent a private message to.
Thorn? - First person BoB had an in-thread conversation with that lasted more than a couple of posts.
Robb - First person to make a thread title 'Loony BoB' (at least five such threads have since existed).

Robb was probably the most important of those members when it comes to BoB's growth into the world of EoFF, as that thread contained a picture of a 'sheep shagging sign' - it turns out Robb was Australian who had recently joined EoFF and decided to poke fun at EoFF's (possibly first?) New Zealander. Robb and BoB later emailed each other and then met up on Yahoo! Messenger a few times, eventually working on their healthy Trans-Tasman rivalry and becoming a great pair of friends. Later, BoB and Robb noticed a couple of girls at EoFF by the names of Selphie (now Wishing Star? and Sapphire? (I can't remember what she was called at the time, mind you). The four of them, along with Ashi and Squally Leonharty who also joined the group shortly after (Squally was 'adopted' into the group after emailing some of them asking if it would be okay to be friends. Good times!), formed a group that is now fondly referred to by BoB as 'The Originals', as in the original group of friends that began his strong friendships with many other EoFFers. And so began BoB's life in the world of Eyes on Final Fantasy.


One month after getting to know Emma (an English girl previously mentioned as Wishing Star) and calling her once or twice, she developed a bit of a crush on him and, on Boxing Day of 2000, BoB chatted to her (he tried to call but couldn't for some reason) and they began their first online relationship, which would later lead to BoB's first taste of 'real' love. The relationship lasted all of 7-8 months and then they broke up (a few times, but that's another story altogether) and BoB eventually moved on, having a two-day 'relationship' with Ashi and moving on from her too. Oh, yeah. During his relationship with Emma, BoB had his first offline meeting with an online friend. He met Jewels? and Sakura Yume? (although I'm quite sure Sakura Yume was not registered at EoFF at that time) along with another of their friends (who would also later register as something to do with jellybabies or jellybeans but never stuck around to become a prominent member). He also met Rinoabella? during his second offline meetup-thing (Rinoabella and Wishing Star were the first two EoFFers BoB called on the phone, although he doesn't remember which he called first).


Later in 2001, BoB was browsing EoFF at school and noticed that a member called 'Thorn' was also browsing - a name he had not seen for over a year, but a name he recognised. He sent her a PM asking if she was the same Thorn he once got to know in a couple of threads when he first joined - she was. Eventually the two of them would hit it off, and this would lead to his longest online relationship and also the first involving a girl he actually (eventually) met in person. Soon after this relationship started, BoB's Yahoo! account was hacked into by Emma and her offline friends, who impersonated BoB and tried to break him up with Stefanie (Thorn), hook him up with Jewels all while telling most other online friends of BoB that he was gay (poor Halan took it rather seriously). BoB's next EoFF-based relationship was with Miriamel?, which lasted a few months. He then spent a voluntary year being single so he could take his time and wait for the right girl to show up. He then went on to begin a relationship with Shorty, which ended in an unfortunate way, although they are still friends. As of 13th May 2006, BoB has been dating with girlfriend smittenkitten. Finally, one in his own country, for the first time in over eight years!


Known for coming up with a lot of ideas for EoFF and taking on these ideas (and those of others). The first two major projects BoB took on (in 2001) were the EoFF World Map and the Ciddies. Both of these projects were hugely successful and the World Map is still updated on a very irregular basis and the Ciddies are still run twice a year, the most recent Ciddies in late 2004 breaking all sorts of participation records, thanks to BoB and the Ciddies Committee. BoB has also been a member of various election groups, being in order: The Rulers? (run by edczxcvbnm), the Phucking Party? (run by BoB), the Reformed Newbie Party (run by Nait?), The victorious Newbie Party and the defending champions, the #eoff party (run by BoB).

A little boasting by BoB

Okay, I'm gonna be egotistical and edit my own profile with a list of things that you all owe me money for.


Starting and maintaining the current EoFF Site Staff layout.
Starting and maintaining the EoFF World Map
Coming up with the idea of having an EoFF community for FF News (cross posted from the frontsite).
Coming up with the idea of RSS feeding the news to save the EoFF News Reporters the hassle.
Deciding that we should be rennovating the EoFF FanArt gallery. This is a project yet to be completed and is being worked on by Samuraid.
Helping Cid with server moves and finding half-decent hosts. I think he found the decent one by himself.
Reinventing the EoFF Awards as the Ciddies.
The official EoFF Family Tree.
The Feedback Forum.
The Eizon Project (inspired by Agent Proto).
Many useless satistics.
Running the ChatStats (which used to be run by Aexoden)
Pictures of scantily clad women being accidentally posted into the Staff Forum.
Chatroom Awareness More Than A Week
Various (sometimes victorious!) election parties.
Newbie Day
WikiEoFF!

However, I could never have done all of the above without the help of Britt, Agent Proto, Tiffiekins?, Samuraid and the rest of the EoFF Site Staff. And Cid... I suppose. -Loony BoB

Quotes about BoB

BoB always sends songs to you if you ask, and he's nice. One of his only faults is his NAUGHTY CALANDER!
-Rye


BoB is a git.
-Award Guy, during multiple Ciddies events.


What hasn't BoB done for EoFF during his time here? Whether it be being a member of Site Staff, taking on the role of Award Guy, or managing countless competitions and festivities at EoFF, BoB is loved by almost all of the EoFF community. An eternal newbie, BoB has always been an advocate of newbie rights, and can almost always be found licking and "doop doop"ing at #eoff.
-Kirobaito


The heart and soul of these forums, a top notch fellow through and through. This place would not thrive as it does without your dedication and commitment. We all owe you so very much. Take care of yourself.
-The Captain


BoB is my Wiggle-Puff and I am his Sunshine and together we skip through wildflowers singing songs from Broadway musicals.
-Spaceman Spiff


BoB is my dad.
-fire_of_avalon


Towns smells like one of those car air fresheners that are shaped like a Tree. He's also a level 81 Champion. Silly kiwi.
-Majin


Mary BoBBiNs is a great guy, very much loved by EoFF and he deserves it! Putting effort into everything he can and always succeeding with an outstanding result of input from fellow members. I admire him for his contribution to EoFF. Not only is he a good Administrator, he is also a great person to talk to with a brilliant and humorous personality, even though he claims to be serious sometimes (but fails :P).
-Lenna


Gawd, I haven't added anything yet? Boy, must be getting sluggish. Anyways, I love you BoB! You were the one who convinced me to stay, and for that I'm grateful And by the way, you're only two years older than me! I never knew. You always seemed to be fruitful of knowledge and wisdom beyond your years. O right, gotta add something useful. Yeah, BoB likes Chocobos, I'm sure.
-Maxx


She has the dungeon, I have the dragon. ;D

Hardly, I knew about it before it was released (I have an uncle who knows a guy who is the brother of a friend who works for Square, you see.) All information pretaining to the series that you see on the front site was co-written by me. The authors do not know about it though.
