I miss that guy.

I feel exactly the same.
I like to think he's a lurker.

My solution for downforce on Thee Template:



Superelliptic cross section and a truncation that incorporates a passively suctioning bellmouth. It might be beneficial for minimizing downforce (vs usable interior volume) if the superellipse were rotated 45°, that would minimize the upward facing surface.
