Yes, we still have a forum.
I really liked aaron a lot. I always felt that aaron was one of us outside the restrictions from his job. I still kind of wonder why he left though.
Perhaps he saw the new concept for Sonic Boom and realised he didn't want to be held accountable for it or deal with the backlash and weird as fuck Sonic fans giving him hassle at conventions. Man, if I was in his position and I saw an early Sonic Boom I'd leave too. Especially after how creepy Sonic fans got a few years back over green eyes...
