I feel like you can probably understand that this place means a lot to me, perhaps in a similar way to how you relate to the GTV community; you're a part of something.
It used to be like that here (.co, I mean). After spending my youth feeling disenfranchised without even being aware of it (or having the faintest notion of why), I finally found a place where I belonged.
That's why I am happy to offer what little service I can to this community.
Anyway, thanks for taking the time to let me know that you found the links helpful.
Cheers to Fascinus, wherever he may be. He was absolutely my favorite person here. A thoughtful and considerate person. His efforts providing alt links is also sorely missed. HAIL o/ Fascinus.

Live or dead we probably will never know unless he pops up again. And might I add that this is another reason having User Names is not such a good idea. How does one search online for an obit?
Perhaps we might wish to have @System make a log of our real names. Call it Lost & Found. @System could have a select few involved to announce the long lost and departed members.
Dox me first @System. I'm an old man with little to hide.
I thought Fash was wonderful. But another theory—what makes you think he’s NOT here, minus the username not posting anymore? People lurk and people have alts. He undoubtedly had at least one alt I can think of off hand. If you’re still here, hey bud!
Three years ago, I lived on a mountain near Murphy, NC in the Blue Ridge Mts. When Helene hit, the road up the mountain washed away, stranding the 7 homeowners for a month.
Most mountain folk live in the valleys, all of which experienced flooding. So living in the mountains doesn't make then a safe place. Hoping @Fascinus made it thru the storm.

Hi dass. How's your Christmas been? Mine? So-so. Bloody hot. Missus complaining all the time about the noisy family next door enjoying themselves. I say to her: "it is Christmas ffs!" but to no avail. Females seem to have a genetic predisposition to complaining. Do you find that with your missus? It drives me mad and I relish hopping on my bike and going to the shops.
I refuse to believe anyone on this website could be taken out by a natural disaster.
My thought is that he was anon with the mysterious out of the blue friend that he was slightly suspicious of and backed out/changed name when the suspicion got too strong.

You can’t see if he’s lurked in the last 3 months or anything without posting?

I was in the same boat...then I watched houses wash down the mountains.
Also not 100% sold Facinus wasn't just some guy who'd bolt. Why waste so much time archiving?
