Where's our @Backroadjunkie? Is he okay?

PocketArtPocketArt Posts: 1,335 ✭✭✭✭✭

It looks like he hasn't posted since February of this year. I miss his descriptive posts of modern releases. His were of top notch quality, and most informative. I always looked forward to his rundown, as his views were spot on, and most appreciative.

If anything would have brought our friend out of the woodwork, it should have been this?

What has happend? Is everything alright? I'm worried for him.

    Hopefully the Corona virus didn't get him. I hate when long time regular posters suddenly stop posting. I worry that something bad happened to them. :(

    Did you try messaging him?

    The OP said he hasn't been active here since February but it would certainly be worth a try.

    I saw that. But a private message could generate an email to Backroadjunkie, which might make a difference.

    I sent message out early this morning, and also mentioned this thread. I have yet to hear back; but, will let you all know if he does.

    If we don't hear back in a week or so I'm not sure what a good next step would be, unless a member here may know how to get a hold of him through a different channel. Thanks.

    I did a while ago and didn't get a response. Unusual for him. Don't know what else to do.
    Only some one who has done a transaction directly with him would have better info to contact him. If you have please do so and report back. Express our concern.

    Is it obvious in DM if someone got banned. There were some nasty arguments back in that time frame and some people got booted (and some people didn't?).

    Is there an available banned list, just for curiosity's sake?

    If he were banned his icon would indicate that. So, that isn't it. :/

    Well, he hasnt posted to Facebook in over three years, so that's out.

    One thing I think, whenever I see a "whatever happened to XXX " type of post, is that, while we are all in our own microcosm of a world, there are usually some, at least one, people who may care.

    Therefore, it is a really good thing if people have a real world way of contact....hopefully more than just a name/mailing address.

    While most may not care, there are a few people on here who have met me and have my direct contact info (email, address, phone, real name), and who could, if they ever wanted, ping me if I just stopped posting....or got sick, etc.

    I've seen members pass away and people don't know, and I've seen members pass away and a family member comes online to let people know, and I've seen people pass away but did have that forum contact person who could let others know.

    Not a bad thing to do......

    I do hope BRJ is ok and just taking some time off on his own accord for awhile.

    The Facebook/personally identifying info should be removed from this thread for security reasons.

    I too am with you on that. BRJ was ALWAYS on top of the info wagon...been watching for him to no avail. Sure hope he's okay.
