    This.

    Also IIRC, something about him spending too much time here on CF so he had to stop posting here.

    he got tired of not getting massive respect from EVERYONE like he thought he deserved.

    anyone dared to say anything less than complimentary, he got offended.

    I dont believe the bit about having to give up computer time....last time I checked over at ************, he was still just as active as I remember him. He just prefers it over there since they all worship Yao.

    Yes, he was the best poster this board has ever seen. He took hours every day to translate Yao Ming interviews for those who did not speak the language. He did not have to do it for us, and he did it for free at his own expense, HE DID IT FOR THE SAKE OF US ROCKET FANS. (Do you realize how long it takes to get a Scola interview translated, when most of the posters here took Spanish in high school?) Unfortunately Pryuen was ridiculed and driven out for his quirky personality. People could not accept him for who he was. He was ahead of his time.

    But he lives in our hearts forever.

    Pryuen is grieving over "Big Yao" and his injury. He's on edge right now ready to blow if he reads another negative thing about Yao. So long story short until Yao is back Pyruen won't be doing anything near here.

    The guy was odd, but I have to give him credit for what he did - whether driven by obsession or love for Yao. lol.

    totally. i didn't even have to search anything. most up to date information would be here available in both languages with pictures. it's kind of lacking in that department lately. :D

    Great poster who put in a lot of hard work. But he had a sorry attitude and was a jerk too many times when he didn't like who others posted. He picked up his marbles and went home. I'm sorry he did because I liked what he contributed and could overlook his immaturity.

    I have no idea who you guys are talking about. Lol. Apparently, a lot of people didn't like him very much, looking at his threads.

    I actually wanted to meet the dude when I was in Hong Kong, but he gave me some excuse. I met freemaniam, who was a superior NBA fan and he is the king of Clutchfans China.

    Next time I go there, I'm going to slow down on the seafood. I think I ate too much.

    What ticked me off the most was when anyone else would dare break info about Yao that pryuen didn't already know about. He acted as if nobody else was allowed to post breaking news. One time in particular, I think it was IC2000 (or another insider) that posted a tidbit about Yao that was verified a day later. In the meantime, pryuen attacked him. It was incredibly stupid and juvenile.

    Still, pryuen was worth the trouble because of his contribution. Reminds me of some of the moody customers I have. If they must feel like they know it all and I know very little, fine with me as long as they keep the revenue flowing.
