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?

SpAmRaY · « **Reply #1 on:** Mon, 16 September 2013, 09:59:54 »

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.

never though the Dolch preorder would finish before I got my keyboard back. x_x

MOZ · « **Reply #5 on:** Sun, 22 September 2013, 15:43:18 »

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.

Glod · « **Reply #6 on:** Sun, 22 September 2013, 20:29:19 »

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.

SpAmRaY · « **Reply #7 on:** Sun, 22 September 2013, 20:29:52 »

Hopefully someone can at least confirm that he is ok and just busy with real life.

Photoelectric · « **Reply #8 on:** Sun, 22 September 2013, 20:36:52 »

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

It happens! I'm sure he's got lots of PMs in his mailbox to deal with as well.

TLSC.wipeOut · « **Reply #9 on:** Mon, 23 September 2013, 10:25:39 »

=( WFD's youtube videos led me here and I never got to receive any PMs from him back *sadness* I hope he's ok...

Photoelectric · « **Reply #16 on:** Thu, 26 September 2013, 19:23:37 »

If he's actually holding on to something for that long, I'm officially worried

He's been too responsible and thorough a person for that.

Glod · « **Reply #17 on:** Thu, 26 September 2013, 19:38:29 »

^ +1 i'm worried

MOZ · « **Reply #18 on:** Fri, 27 September 2013, 03:36:00 »

Can someone go and drop by his place if you know where he stays? Please!

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

ItsBc · « **Reply #19 on:** Fri, 27 September 2013, 04:01:48 »

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.

if anyone in socal wants to make a drive to oceanside, i'll share

SpAmRaY · « **Reply #20 on:** Fri, 27 September 2013, 06:48:49 »

Has anyone asked mkawa if he knows anything? He's a pretty resourceful guy and could probably get in contact with WFD.

MOZ · « **Reply #21 on:** Fri, 27 September 2013, 11:30:03 »

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.

MKULTRA · « **Reply #22 on:** Fri, 27 September 2013, 12:06:54 »

If there's anyone who knows anything is would be one of the GH60 guys, jd, tj, or komar.

MOZ · « **Reply #23 on:** Fri, 27 September 2013, 12:21:50 »

Unfortunately komar and jd don't.

Not sure about tj.

ItsBc · « **Reply #24 on:** Fri, 27 September 2013, 17:28:49 »

my girlfriend lives about 30 mins away from him, seeing if she will knock on his door for us ^_^

MOZ · « **Reply #25 on:** Fri, 27 September 2013, 17:34:52 »

That is great! Do you have the address?

MKULTRA · « **Reply #26 on:** Fri, 27 September 2013, 18:15:43 »

I feel like its a little weird having people from here go to his door to find him...

but to be fair, if he's holding other peoples things, it's really needed.

ItsBc · « **Reply #28 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.

How close are you to him?

ItsBc · « **Reply #31 on:** Fri, 27 September 2013, 23:21:13 »

I will be when winter break starts :/

girlfriend is close to him though and offered to go check on him

keymaster · « **Reply #32 on:** Fri, 27 September 2013, 23:23:26 »

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.

metalliqaz · « **Reply #33 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.

jdcarpe · « **Reply #34 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.

Photoelectric · « **Reply #35 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!

metalliqaz · « **Reply #36 on:** Fri, 27 September 2013, 23:49:20 »

some one here has his address, so it's not like you can't put a bounty on him if necessary.

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.
