Other Where's John? [And other absent members discussion]

People disappear all the time, either in RL or on the internet. The difference is they disappear 10times faster on the internet.

I remember about 7 years ago I was in a very active UT team and the leader, who was an engineer, had plenty of cash and was about 15 years older than everyone. He told us that he would keep paying for the servers for years if needed and that it wasn't a problem. He was very active and played/talked everyday and all of a sudden, he disappeared. One night he didn't show up, and we never saw him again. After a while our servers went down and that was it.

We honestly think he died

:-/

 

I'm better at spamming than you

 

I'm back. New area code. new timezone. Isp for less than an hour and where do I go first? B-T!
might need to change my user ID. jhanlon303 no longer lives in Colorado. so 303 isn't correct any more

 

You've moved for good? Where to?

 

30 years in Sioux City, Iowa - 30 years in Westminster, Colorado, and now back to Sioux City. Probably the only modder around for 100+ miles.

 

Hi Johnny

 

Iowa?! Damn, I was hoping closer to the West.

 

talk about being in the middle of effing nowhere

 

Welcome back sir. A lot of peeps were worried about you ya know. I think some have even stopped posting since you left, they're probably cowering in a dark corner of their room, a Shadow of their former selves.

Hope you're well and it's good to see you have your priorities in order.

 

Welcome back John! Hope the move wasn't too stressful and you're settled in again!

 

Ahh, hello again John!

 

Welcome back young fella.

 

Ooof! You traded the mountains for cows. On the plus side, you are a days drive from Bill.

 

Or an hour flight! I was in Minneapolis when the DEA and FBI raided the motel Marilyn was in for 5 weeks.

Maybe I should 'instruct' these Iowegians on modding 101.

 

any particular reason you decided to up roots again? And what did Marilyn hide in that room in order to get the interest of the DEA and FBI, lol! Your not drug running again are you John? Your the insider on the amazing all seeing aircraft to throw off the scent as they try to track your partner in crime.

 

Giving this a good old bump from 2010 to 2012 because the man mentioned in the post above seems to have gone missing now. The only reason I realised is because he and Krikkit were two of the major contributors to the discussion in my GT4 build planning thread, and MV hasn't posted in it recently. He hasn't been online since the 22nd of December in fact - Anyone remember him mentioning if he was going on holidays over Christmas and the New Year or anything like that?

I don't think john is doing too well nowadays....

 

Thanks for the link Julian, I actually bumped this to find out about mvagusta but I hadn't heard that about John's situation either

 

He still hasn't been back on this week... I hope MV is ok

 

I'm worried about the two of them. And Jeff hasn't seemed to have been on at all.
