Where are they?

He was doing some rappelling training and the line came loose. He was fatally injured by the fall. His wife posted about his death here some time afterwards.

I wish I had seen the post, I feed so bad about it. This is going to upset my wife, she's always asking if I heard from him.

It was at the start of the year, Feb or March i think.

Here is the post announcing his death

And just in case, Tempest Johnny sent me a PM over on SPAM asking me to pass the word that he is alive and well. He is just locked out of his account here with the latest FSM IT SNAFU. He can only lurk but not access his account to post here.

They are All on Facebook... what a terrible place to be...

 

I couldn't agree more.

I fear that website snafus may be a major cause for those to leave and never be hard from again.  

Every time that there is a forum revamp some folks punch out. Others leave when the mods crack down on whatever happens to be going on at that particular time and their buddy gets axed. And some just drift away to  other sites for reasons of their own.

Littletimmy is in the same boat, he can't log in. Shaking my head. I have to bite my lip every time FSMs website breaks. (Biting).

I can't say that I knew him but I am sorry for your loss and the families loss.

I have had e-mails from Theuns and Eagle saying the same thing.

I have also noticed that a lot of new members give their intro and are never heard from again. having to wait a day or to for your first post to show can't help. All these problems are not going to do the site any favours.

I use Google Chrome and a few mornings ago i could not log on. I could log on using other browsers but the problem was solved once I deleted all the cookies. Now I'm back on Chrome. Using incognito works too.

Hey y'all, for those that knew him, I did see on the arc site that Rex passed away recently.

 

How long ago was that? He posted something on SPAM less than 2 weeks ago...

Same here. I didn't delete the cookies but using incognito works for me. No issue with using my iPad.

Thanks for Hunter's link Stick. I posted on it and I hope Mrs Anderson sees it but after all this time, it's a long shot.

Mopar Madness sent me a Facebook message stating he can't get on either, no matter what he tries, even all the sugestions.

He wanted me to spread the word that he's watching but can't post.

This is the thread, it has the obit on page two. It was on November 27

He said to say hi to all, and that as of now, he can only lurk.

Biting my lip again.

Man I hope they get this fixed soon, I think we're loosing menbers again due to frustration. I know a few who are seriously consedering moving their aligence to another forum. Who could blame them? FSM has more ongoing problems than any site. We still don't have spell check of all things, after how many years?

Every now and then someone will post a thread from the dead and all these names I knew when i first started come back to me: Moses (the zimmerit expert), Shellback (great builds and badges), bufflehead, Crockett, bobbailey, Hinsky......on and on.

I often wonder why someone would go back as far as 15 years searching old threads. This happens usually with new members with as little as 1 or two posts to their credit.

Exactly, perfectly said. And if FSM thinks this is all no big deal, they better think again. This is a big black eye to their branding. If the problem was just a few times, it might not be a problem. In FSMs case, the problem has been chronic. These are potential subscribers that they are turning away. This will hit the company where it counts. Fix the problem! Spend some money and fix this thing once and for all.

My guess is they did a google search for a specific modeling subject and a link to an old FSM thread popped up in the search. Then reply not realizing the thread was quite old.

By the way,unless I missed something,where is Tankerbuilder,is hevhaving log on issues ?

I was wondering he same thing. I don't think I have seen GMorrison around either.

GM is locked out in the current SNAFU. He has been over on SPAM in the meantime. So has Mopar Madness.

The Scale Auto forum is having the same problems as this forum. People are having problems loging-in and modelers aren't making new posts.
