I don't necessarily agree with that, nor am I fully convinced Vod has left the forum for good, despite what he wrote. 

And as far as specifically removing Vod from DT because of inactivity, I'd say that's a mistake.  He's tagged a lot of scammers and the vast majority of his feedbacks are spot-on.  If he got removed from DT, a lot of the warnings he left on people's profiles would suddenly disappear and all hell could break loose.  And like I said, it's still way too early to tell whether he's gone for good.  I happen to think not; he's invested so much of his time and energy into the forum that I don't think he'd be able to abandon it so easily (though the same could be said of Lauda, true).
