Godspeed, Robokillah

I tune in here and there to a lot of different figure-collecting YouTubers of very different styles, but Robo has always been my favorite. Haven't been in the hobby as long as many others here have, but The Fwoosh quickly became the one that I turned to learn the most about figures, and catch up on what I missed. Robo is like the "dad" of the community, and I mean that in the best way possible.

I'm also one of presumably many who assumed Robo was one of the folks who owned The Fwoosh (I guess that's not the case?).

I will miss him here if he's not going to be around anymore, and I will miss his presence on the Fwoosh YouTube channel. But I most certainly will continue to watch him on his channel (which I've already been subscribed to for some time).

Best of luck, Robo.

Veebs and Robo all in one day. Best of luck, guys! I'll be rooting for you!

I saw the weekly. Man, im kinda bummed. Robo was the face of Fwoosh. I guess he is in a good spot to venture out on his own and get more money i guess. not gonna be the same without Robo. Times a changing. On that note, i feel like the last 2 weeks have been weird and feel like the world is changing. maybe its just me. Good luck Robo, you were one of the best toy reviewers out there.

Even if he leaves the YouTube and news side, that doesn't mean he has to leave the boards. Although maybe he wants to? But he could just be like us average Joes on here. It will not be the same without him, that's for sure.

Robo was how I started my Sunday mornings. I would fix my breakfast, sit down at my computer desk, open a browser for YouTube, find my sub for The Fwoosh, then start watching and eating. Robo mentioned in his last weekly he would still be doing action figure reviews and maybe more on his YouTube site, Robo Don't Know. You just have to tune in there.

Robo said in the comments for the last Weekly video that he will continue doing the Weekly on his own channel, so that is good news.  Ideally, Robo and Veebs go off on their own and do the same things they've been doing, including the Sunday livestreams.  I feel like I've been watching these guys forever, though I think it it is only since the pandemic (which feels like a far away time and place).

I wish Robo and Veebs luck in whatever they want to do next, and I have no doubt they can pull in the same audience they had with the Fwoosh, if that is what they want.

I do hope this forum survives the transition.  I'd like to see some reassurances from @pablolobo that this forum has a future.  An announcement in general would be wise, given that the most people only know the Fwoosh as Robo (and Veebs). I did notice that Robo and Veebs were removed from the About page as site officers, so it seems like whatever went down is moving quickly.

I'm curious to hear the real (or more detailed) story of what happened someday.

Well that’s sad. Fwoosh forums are my home away from home on the internet. And Robo has always been an appreciated part of the forums to me.  He’s been so generous to me over the years.  Sad to see him leave Fwoosh. I will keep watching him on YouTube. 

I hope the Fwoosh forums keeps going. And that we get Tapatalk compatibility back! It’s still hard to use the forums from mobile. 

@scottg10 "I'm curious to hear the real (or more detailed) story of what happened someday."

This. I'm super late to the forums party, so The Fwoosh's identity to me has always been Robo and Veebs.

Glad they'll still be doing their thing. Best of luck.

I wish Robo and Veebs nothing but the best, and will continue following them on their various platforms. Like many others here, I'm concerned about the future of these forums. This is a community that I love...you're all my people!

This "separation" doesn't prevent Robo from posting in the discussions right? On that video he says there's no drama just different directions wanted. He's not banned, correct?

Though it's noticeable that most of those who have made a big home around social media don't really mingle around too often within our small world here. I wish to read his input around the boards. I thought he was a great mod. Most of them were. Lenient and gave more than a fair shake. 

Gah. Most of them are gone and busy now. SamuRon, Prodigy, DisThunder, VeeBee, Bob, GN, Canonball..

To Pabs, Benty, Matt K, TSI (?), other volunteers. We appreciate you all. At least I do.

But this is about the most legendary Fwoosher of all time. Like Norm said, godspeed Robo! Im sure you have your haters but Im happy for your continued success. Hope to see ya 'round the boards!
