Is Richard Phipps active at all here? I need to ask him about one of his games.

Good question. He hasn't been here for a while...

I have seen him posting as HappyMonster on TIGSource forums, you could try there.

Wow. He came online a day after I messaged him and completely ignored me.

Hello, Richard. You have been absent from A.cc for some time, but I feel you would be perfect in the lead role for my latest FMV Allegro creation, Sausage Squadron 7. We don't use "special effects" for the graphics, if you know what I mean.

Should we ask the RCMP to find him?

Well, it is his right and choice to ignore you. Seeing your private message to him, I'd take it as a silent "no" to the offer. Take it as a no and move on, you'll eventually find someone that will jump at working with you somewhere.

I thought that was just Boobuigi making a guess as to what might have been said.

The real message asked whether to use HTML or variables.

It was probably more like asking whether Java had a boolean type or if one was supposed to use an integer.

You know, I have a file somewhere full of these wonderful faux pas, but I compressed it with LZIP and am still waiting for them to finalise the decompression algorithm.

Aw, LZIP Lossy Compression's homepage was taken down? Thank you, archive.org.

Okay, that's the best April Fools joke ever. ;D

I was reading through the FAQ and was particularly amused by the "Lessiss-Moore algorithm".

I did not say that. I wish I had the easiest way to message him. He is probably not noticing the alert. It is too small.

Given how his current project and homepage ( http://www.retroidea.com/ ) does not hold any contact information, maybe he does not wish to be found/contacted. You might want to respect that.

He's lying low because someone noticed he called it D-Pixel and is trying to shame and coerce him into employing more people who identify as women.
