Title: Where in the world is WFD?
Post by: ItsBc on Mon, 16 September 2013, 09:52:39
So, he was on vacation.

Came back.

Went MIA again and haven't heard from him in over 2 weeks. Can anyone put me in contact with me?

Hopefully he is ok and just busy with real life!

His profile says he was last online September 4th.

I will try to email him and make sure he is ok.

Yeah, I have sent him numerous PMs regarding somethings we were discussing, and then he went MIA.

This reminds me of this Indian forum, where when one of us goes missing for a long period of time, we just drop by his place unannounced, lol.

Hmm, someone have his phone number or can check out somehow if he is alright, he has been away for more than two weeks, highly unlike him.

He went on vacation and left a notice on the forum, so we'd know, no intimation now, so it is worrying, hopefully for nothing.

Damn I hope he is ok; losing WFD would be tragic. wouldn't be surprised though if he is just busy with non geekhack stuff and needed to go off the grid.

I think he's just continuing to take some time off.  He was very involved here with various projects and probably lots of PMs from people, and stepping away for his vacation may have made him reluctant to dive back in :D  It happens!  I'm sure he's got lots of PMs in his mailbox to deal with as well.

Or call him in person, I am sure someone has his number from all these GBs.

If something tragic happened I think there would be posts about it on his facebook

I have his addresses, but i am in delaware until winter break.

Already done. He was no word. We need his phone number. If anyone can get it, please contact me, maybe a GB organiser, or someone else.

but to be fair, if he's holding other peoples things, it's really needed.
Title: Re: Where in the world is WFD?
Post by: ItsBc on Fri, 27 September 2013, 20:00:10
yeah, he is kinda holding something valuable of mine. :\
I would show up on his front door step if I was still in socal, wouldn't feel 1 bit weird.

WFD doesn't seem like the type of guy to screw anyone over. I understand he has something valuable of yours, but keep that in mind.
Title: Re: Where in the world is WFD?
Post by: metalliqaz on Fri, 27 September 2013, 23:33:08
He isn't holding anything of mine.  I'm just worried something happened to him.  Is anyone else at that point?  If so I can probably contact him IRL.
Title: Re: Where in the world is WFD?
Post by: jdcarpe on Fri, 27 September 2013, 23:44:42
Yeah, I'm getting concerned. It's been to long with not even a word or a check-in. I would call him if I had his number, but I only have an address in SoCal.
Title: Re: Where in the world is WFD?
Post by: Photoelectric on Fri, 27 September 2013, 23:48:34
I'm worried too.  WFD has been extremely helpful for me personally, both with his educational videos and threads as well as with organizing useful group buys (both of my current keyboards have his switch plate installed).  I just hope he's okay!

Well his number was on my Phantom plate invoice, but it only said "whitefiredragon" so I don't know his name.  This is going to be an awkward conversation but I'm going to give it a shot now.

EDIT: Well that was a bust.  Someone picked it but it clearly wasn't WFD.  Protip: don't call strangers when you don't know their first name.

Hi guys, just dropping a quick message to let you know that I知 ok, but been hammered with work for the past month. I have a normal full time job, but also work part time helping the family business until we can hire some competent employees. It may be another week or two, but rest assured that I知 not ditching any online hobbies. I知 not the type of person to scam anyone or just run away, especially when too many people know who I am across several forums. Just for the time being, all of my leisure time has been taken up by a second job. I do apologize for the lack of communication or if this situation has affected you.


PS - I finished grad school and working now. Also for the person that called, good detective work, but that is a work number (not my house nor my cell). The person that picked up was an Asian lady with an accent, but was not my mother  ^-^ . She left me a note, which lead me to this update.

I would not plan anything like this without talking to jdcarpe and tjcaustin, they have both said that they are working things out.  Lets not jump the gun here guys.  Let them handle it.

ehhh, this guy has $$ of mine and others. not really jumping the gun when this has been a problem for months.
anywho, I called the number again and I got the same lady as last time.

this time she pretended I had the wrong phone number. gg

That's probably because you're being a bit creepy.

searching for someone who has something valuable of yours, and following leads is not creepy.
don't be so self conscious

I speak to other people in a respectful manner, and it's a simple phone call that ends with 'thanks anyway, have a good one.'
It might seem creepy to someone who is uncomfortable speaking to strangers? that's the only conclusion I can come up with.

WFD checked in like a week ago, I'm sure if he needed help he would have asked for it.

No, it's creepy because you're hunting him down like a loan shark.

googling someone's name and dialing their # is equivalent to hunting someone down like a loan shark? you're an idiot lol

well since everyone else is weighing in... Let me preface this by saying that think WFD does so much for the community here and probably deserves the benefit of the doubt.

ItsBc, I don't think it is creepy to try to contact someone you are transacting business with to find out why they haven't fulfilled their end of a deal.

I think everyone's negative reaction to this is because (1) they think it's about the GH60, which apparently it is not, but rather it is in regard to a personal transaction between you and WFD and (2) WFD has a stellar reputation here and people are reacting defensively to your inquiry and the fact that you're airing it out in the open.

If it were me, I would probably be patient for a bit longer or at least be less open about attempts to hunt him down. But I can't fault you for investigating the holdup on your personal transaction with him. I have full confidence that he will come through eventually.

I bet if this were a retail merchant like Amazon or an ebay seller, people would be singing a different tune. Just my $0.02

or, he can just go get it himself instead of calling?

i mean he must have his address if he sent him something. or if the transaction happened through paypal. what is this telling on his mom going to do?

this is getting far too close to doxing for my comfort. i'm going to end this thread here, sorry. we've confirmed that he's alive and well, and that is what's really important.

if you would like to leave feedback for him on heatware or post a thread WITHOUT getting this close to revealing his personal information please feel free to.
