A Loss In The YNAI Family - The Passing of an Icon, Rob Turnbull

[DoctorSurferDude]

I'm an identical twin too....my heart hurts to hear this news.  You and your family are in my prayers.

Rob was truely an icon.  He has created a point of unity for young nudists around the world.  There is nothing else like this, nothing else comes close.  There should be a monument for a guy like that, buildings and swimming pools named after him.  But for the legacy he left us, we have this site, and we are forever indebted to his gift. 

Thank You Rob.

Hi,
I'm not one of the more active members but i have been coming here since 2004 and have seen what Rob has done with this community.  His memory will truly live on here an in the young naturist movement all over the world!  Thanks Rob for pioneering work!

I would like to add a personal note; not to make a big thing out of it, but last March I really wanted
to put up my avatar here on YNAI. After some struggle with my dad, I tried to download a picture of
mine he had taken when I was three years old, and it didn't work, I had problems with the pixel count.
And Rob graciously offered to do the job for me. Anyway, I did some homework and returned to YNAI an hour later to read a message Rob had sent me, "Bro, your avatar is up!". I'm telling you, it was the happiest moment in a long time, I was just overwhelmed with joy, and I am to this day. Thank's, Rob, your kindness will not be forgotten, ever! Aaron

Hey Casey,

certainly not the news I was hoping to hear when I came back online, as I've been off of the net for a couple of weeks.  I know you said you didn't want peoples sympathy, but I am sorry to hear this has happened, for both yourself and everyone else that knew him.

Will.

Obviously, this was a great shock to me upon entering the forum after I'd signed up.

Rob was very accessible back when I was was here the first time around. The forum had nowhere near as many users back then, and the community really was like a family. And Rob was very much a central character.

Be it on the forums themselves, or, for more touchy subjects, in PMs, he was a great, thoughtful and gentle proprietor.

So yes, this is yet another 'stranger' who will miss Rob very much.

Rob and Casey are *not* dead, because they never existed in the first place!!  They were the figment of a sick scammer's imagination who started this site up.

The person known as "Casey" finally gave this site to two people out of frustration. It was found that it was simply a money making deal to fund his Amazon purchases.  This was discovered long after it was suspected.  Administrator Jessie advised they discovered the truth in his email archives after assuming ownership. Jessie was supposedly given co-ownership but that was proven not to be true either, as she found out. Dan, who had worked his way into the moderation and then administration of the forum, has finally got the ownership of this site from the faker known as Casey/Rob and another person saying he was their cousin.  All were the same person.

Interesting....This topic is more than three years old, how come it was only posted now? Maybe I missed a post since I haven't been subscribed to this site for three years.

Really?  Did you just discover this?  I have noticed some weird things going on in this site.
