This alarms me: BSC was here and at Polaris the last time the 9th of September!
You know him, he was a frequent poster, thus his disappearing must have a serious reason.
:( Hopefully he is only in jail or in hospital.

I'm thinking about what to do.
We know his real name Miguel and his birthdate. Does anybody has his address or his phone number?
Maybe the moderators have more datas?

Now that I brought it up on Polaris, I remember again he intended to go to the States for a while (I don't know for how long). So maybe he just got very, very unlucky with his internet connection and he'll be back in a month or two.

I hope.

I'm still jittery from the last death, a second one right now would send me up a tree once and for all. :eek:

Hopefully? Hopefully?

People drop in and out of Spidweb all the time. It's part of the natural course of a community - he probably found out that real life was more interesting.

He was posting an awful lot as little as a day before that realization struck him (over 10 posts a day I think), and he didn't post a single post once it did. I see your point, but believe me when I say I wouldn't be so worried for no reason whatsoever.

The death Aran referred to wasn't anyone on SW, StD. It was a woman on the Santharia boards.

This is an odd situation. It reminds me a bit of when X disappeared suddenly, after being an extremely active member for two years or so. He never came back. I fear the worst, really, especially since he was clearly no spring chicken.

As for BSC, he hasn't been gone awfully long, but it's still rather troubling. Here's to hoping he turns up soon.

BSC is part of the vocal anti-Chavez minority in Venezuela. After the third time a group of them, backed by the US, attempted by semi-legal means to coup the government, apparently they began jailing quite a few as seditionists.
This happened relatively recently, Q2/3 2004 or so.
If he was visiting the States, it probably turned into an extended visit. If not, he might well be in a Caracas gaol. No way to be sure, but it's certainly something to be considered.
Chavez is no Pinochet, so he's probably coming back relatively soon and not less his thumbs or anything if that's what happened.

He planned a two to three-weeks trip, no more, and considered having another vacation in December. I'm worried. I also share your impression, Stug, that something happened to X.

Well, I guess that applied to asd too, didn't it? She returned in March, over a year after disappearing...

Edit to prevent excessive posting:

You did/do? What was it? I heard different rumors, so I'm not sure which is true...

I'm not exactly sure. It's been several months, I think.

I'm not sure I've seen him since I came here in May 2003... though I might have, occasionally, in the first few months.

He was certainly still an active poster when I showed up in October '03. He probably disappeared around last New Year's Day.

EDIT: Does someone have a link to the archives for General? They're very useful in answering questions like these.

I've never seen him in the present since I got here, although I'd seen old posts by him. I arrived in Feb '04. Disappearing around New Year's seems right.

I have a manually saved archive for General, before the second purge. Presumably, RC still has the first one. Since it's General, and before 2003, RC's stuff is what you want...

Actually, I've been wanting to get that part, make some sort of navigation system for both, find a host with large webspace offers and upload the whole thing. However, merely restructuring the links on these over 1000 pages would already take unreasonably long. I'm not on vacation right now. :P

Cool! :D In retrospect, there was nothing to worry about, but I'm still quite relieved. It looks like we haven't lost a good roleplayer, and those are hard to come by. ;)
