I am sad to inform you that Dan Ogilvie, the brains behind Singmai, has passed away from cancer.
His wife just sent me the news.
At this time I have no idea what will happen to the intellectual property, or the business, nor dare I ask.

When I heard the news about his passing I was saddened, I kind of predicted already that this was the case. Obviously in this situations every project he was working on will end, we've seen it before with Videoredo for example.

I reached out to VideoReDo multiple times, post-passing, offering to archive the forum. From my understanding, in conversations with his former employee, the widow wanted lots of money for it (unrealistic), and seemingly didn't care about the userbase/community. It eventually went offline, and that was that. The Archive.org Wayback does a horrible job at forums, and none of it is there either. It's just gone.
I was talking to some other VH old-timers recently, and we're afraid members like orsetto and sanlyn are gone.
Everything just seems wrong in recent years.

The 2025 posts about the SingMai scammer were moved to this new thread.
I do not want scam posts to sully this thread.
I forgot that Dan was a member here. As such, I have locked his account, and his member status is now "Remembered", which we've done for other member that were confirmed to have passed.
I will leave this thread open ... for now.
