I'm sorry if this is the case, but is it possible this is him?

Well, I know some people in Southern Ontario that I can ask but...its a pretty big place...anything a little more narrow?

No idea…phone number area on the phone says Hamilton so let’s go with that.

This might be more of a last resort, but you can hire a skip tracer for a few hundred dollars. If he's living and paying bills in the Hamilton area, they can probably find him.

Have you considered doing a police wellness check? From what I understand you can do it with just a phone number

The police here will do wellness checks, but for someone who hasn't been heard from in that long, I doubt they would, and without a verified town, i think they wouldn't without more information.

I know that for Calgary, a 'single piece of info' is the bare minimum we can try to work with, like a phone number or an address. But we always warn that with that little info, the chances of successfully finding someone aren't great. Telecomms will only (as they should) release info to police in life/death/exigent circumstances.


I also know that for Calgary, if you haven't had contact with the person for a year or more, the report won't be taken over the phone, you'll be referred directly to the Missing Persons Unit. I imagine that Hamilton is pretty similar.

We hope not. Cheese and I have teamed up on this to try to actually get in touch with him, but so far we haven’t been successful. The circumstances around the whole situation are pretty odd.

The purpose of this thread is simply to see if any other members might know him and can confirm that he’s okay. We don’t want to jump to filing a missing persons report or calling the police if it’s not necessary.

I always wonder what happened to the posters who suddenly vanish without warning. I know rubecube was just tired of certain things and decided to take an indefinite break. But a few I was wondering about recently are jammies, Textcritic, OutoftheCube and Azure. From daily posting to just nothing out of the blue.

I think sometimes it's people making a deliberate decision to reduce their overall social media or device time. De-plug. Not saying I know that's the case with those guys, but I suspect some of the time it's why we see people suddenly vanish.

Jammies is annoying leaving. Loved that guy. He was brilliant. He is a big gentle giant.

I just texted him 'Hey Rucker'. I still had his phone number in my phone.

I'm an admin on a German sports forum. There are cases where users write and go "hey, I'm reducing my screen time, can you delete my account or put me on pause for a while". That will often look like vanishing out of the blue to other users.

I left because I was getting serious (sounding) threats that photon was generous to warn me about. photon is a kingpin.

His email was

plainswest@outlook.com

I don't care anymore buds. DOXX me all day. He's listed as 'crazy guy' in my phone.

I leave when I start getting overly annoyed by posters. Know then its time to take a break from the screens for a few months.
