It is with great sorrow that I announce the recent death of our global moderator Alan, aka Burakkucat.
Alan had a vast amount of technical knowledge and over the years has helped countless users in the broadband community. During the twelve years he's been a member here he has made hundreds of informative posts that have been read by thousands of people.
Alan was an immense asset to the Kitz forum. Without a doubt, we couldn't have wished for a better moderator, he was always firm but fair, forever the peacemaker and nothing got past his watchful eye. He made many friendships and was respected by all.
His death is a sad loss for the community and he will be sorely missed by our forum members where he was fondly known as b*cat our resident black cat. It's sad to think there will be no more posts where he took on his cat persona who got "tingles in his whiskers" at the sign of what could be a troublesome member or who curled up after a bowl of cream when things were good. There really won't be another Burakkucat, nor anyone who could make such a fabulous moderator with such a huge amount of technical knowledge. He enjoyed helping people, he relished learning new tech info and he loved tinkering with network & telephony hardware.
RIP B*cat
His funeral is scheduled for 3pm Thurs 29th June 2023. The service will be webcast. Please contact me for log on details.
I've set up a GFM account pot should anyone wish to contribute towards some flowers. Details in post below.
