what the heck is going on?
 

with ____V____?

He's disappeared from my facebook friends, from facebook period.
He's deleted his twitter account as far as I can tell.
And he's been banned on here.

His recent posts (that haven't been deleted) are all pretty normal.


Seriously, anyone know anything about this?
What did I miss?

Uh oh...... Now the place has officially died. I doubt he really left though.

I know, I would just like to know the reason behind his temporary absense if that's the case. And if temporary, why delete all your accounts.

If permanent, why wouldn't he hand his tournament and BR info over to someone else so that we could keep what little traffic we get up?

I'm just worried, because I know that in my opinion the only reason all of my internet accounts would be deleted is if I was dead. I'm paranoid, perhaps, but I just wish I knew if there was any drama that may have caused this (and if anyone has any, but don't wish to start more shit by bringing it up just PM please).

I saw him on Facebook yesterday.

Checked today and his account no longer exists. Just checked again and he's def not around. He's off the HDC facebook group, off my friends list and not on the list of people when you search for his name.

Just checked mine too...gone
Weird
I hope everything is ok

No very unlikely - the only reason that all of someones internet accounts is if they delete them themselves. If some one died the last thing the next of kin would have on their mind is deleting their accounts on various internet boards and forums...

Do your next of kin/friends/family know all the passwords to you email/facebook/myspace/forum membershisp etc??

I stopped by because I also noticed he was gone from Facebook and I was a little concerned. I hope he's okay.

Yes, and no? I have an envelope with my boyfriend's name on it, in a hollowed out book in my book shelf. In it are the passwords for all of my accounts. He has been instructed that if I die in some freak accident all of my accounts are to be deleted, and no facebook "RIP/In Memory of Jen Costello" group will be created. If it is created by someone outside of my family like a friend or acquaintance they will be asked to take it down out of respect for the dead. Last thing I want when I'm gone is a bunch of people I don't even know or met once at a party saying how much they miss me, and sharing fun/embarrassing times we've had together for my family to read and think badly of me.

It's a big deal to me, because when a close friend of mine died her account was still up. Facebook sends me little ads on the side of the website saying to "reconnect" with her. A RIP page was made and every person who ever met her was talking about this time, that time, remember when we got totally drunk. I felt bad for her and her family reading all of it. I felt sad that people who couldn't bother to talk to her or send her an email every once in a while were suddenly her best friend.

Reason they are in a sealed envelope in a hiding place is so he doesn't have them now. If we ever broke up he couldn't cause problems or post anything out of anger.

must be a major "burn out".

hope all is well with him and the family.

I hope everything is allright and this is just a prank or something, maybe he got hacked by somebody.

I texted him, but he hasn't texted me back...I'll let you know if he does...This is definitely worrisome

@Nova: Thanks for the heads up on Facebook

thanks Rayne. Only other thing I can think of is that he has a job interview coming up and got rid of any incriminating evidence.

Agree. Hoping everything will be clear soon, V himself will come up with a good (or a funny) reason behind all this mystery.

The interesting thing is he's now using no avatar & signature except with the user title "Banned" !?! I don't get under what circumstances he could banned himself or who can banned a moderator?:confused:

It wouldn't totally shock me to find out it's part of some big plot device for the Battle Royale [ a bit extreme..but ya never know ].

I was just gonna join that too :mad:

no need now

I hope that that's the case... That was my assumption when I saw the "Banned" status with no avatar or signature; I thought it was a BR III thing; now I'm worried with him gone from FB... I really hope that he's OK...:(

it is all a bit strange

....Would be my main guess.

Also odd.

For what its worth, first thing I thought when I saw he was banned was that it had something to do with the Battle Royale thing. There were like 20 initial spots and they all got filled in the last 24 hours. I don't know you all that well and I'm sure you got reasons to worry, but there might not be reason to get too stressed about it just yet.

Wow - I just never really thought about doing anything like that, prolly be beyond caring if it happens - that been said i deleted my MYSPACE along time ago..

I really hope everything is okay!

I'm in the same boat as a lot of you - didn't really think anything of the whole Banned thing, figured it was just a BR tie in.

Didn't notice that he disappeared from Facebook though. I'm sure all is well, but hopefully we hear from him soon.

I'm not on facebook so I obviously didn't catch him missing from there.

Like most I guessed it was to do with the BR... and maybe it does it's certainly got everyone's attention!

But yeh the quote from Marley's Ghost that VC pointed out doesn't make things look to promising.

Yeah something isnt right at all. I hope everything is ok with him.

Could mean he wants us to make the forum more active and he will come back, but that just might be speculation.

Sounds about right. Guy's probably sick of everyone relying on him making the board a fun place to post. People should step up and start making the place ore active instead of the "oh no the forums dead now" bullshit.

Yeah but.... would V really do that? Wouldn't he say something first? I mean, i've been here off and on for a couple years now, and not once have I seen V do or say anything that would lead me to believe he'd just delete everything and dissapear. Just doesn't seem like something he would do, of course this is just my opinion.

He got a bit fed up and was going to leave a few months back so maybe he has bitten the bullet and decided "Fuck this place I'm outta here".

What the hell....I take a three day weekend and this place falls apart.

What could have set V off.....his Battle looked promising with almost 25 people already.....and whats up with Marley...does this mean that V is Marley?


I'm confused


I need a beer

It's all part of adding drama to the BR... you'll see :)

Agree. May be he's just taking some time & get busy with making the final outline & strategies of different BR stages.

Figured that was the case.

Avi has taken these dramatic actions because of a personal disagreement between he and I. I'm not going to go into details, neither here nor in private messages.

IMO the extreme reaction is unwarrented. I'm hoping he'll lurk around here and see all this concern and come back. You shouldn't punish everyone because of a disagreement with one person.

No shit? It must've been some disagreement for him to react this way. I'm kinda shocked tbh

You can be a bit condescending sometimes NE...that said, while I don't think it's a tactic aimed at punishing anyone an argument I wouldn't say would have to necessitate a permanent departure...so that probably won't happen, but who knows...you could've said something you shouldn't have touched and really offended him, it's not like your cultures are carbon copy and it's not like a person can't get fired up when they want to.

Hahah, threads like this kind of make me glad I don't really socialise with forum folks "outside said forum" anymore...it's like you're all up in eachothers shit, facebook this, phone/email that...can't the guy take a while off be it to cool his heels or whatever without the whiny shit making him feel obligated to come back and re-assemble your shattered online lives that clearly just won't be the same without the "Avi likes this" comments to your status?
Not to mention maybe he doesn't want everyone to know each and every individual with whom he has contact and how???
Give it a rest, because you're probably just pissing him off...

Agreed with Elvis, on there being better shit to do around here, than topics like this.

Well I hope he comes back. Whatever you may think of him he did at least put a lot of effort into making this website fun for those who dwell here.

not totally surprised to hear this. He has said that he has a bit of a temper and also a bit on the bi-polar side.

But c'mon dude...you had almost 25 people lined up for the BR, including quite a few newer folk. Which is just what we needed for this site to expand....ya gotta get the new people involved in order for them to stick around.

Hes smurfing you

i miss V already - this place isn't the same without him!

there, there, zero......have a banana
