Whatever Happened to... (Insert Member Name Here)
Sometimes people disappear from the forums for months or years on end, and curiosity makes you wonder what happened to them. Maybe some people can chime in and provide updates on certain guys, or ask about other people that they wonder about as well.
Some people I wonder about:
NGD - Used to be the biggest poster around, got married and hasn't been on much lately. I assume he still has his collection and just doesn't add to it anymore?
JD (Elijah) - This is someone I genuinely worry about. He posted a few threads about being in/out of the hospital, problems at home, and then completely went MIA in the middle of a weight loss contest (which he was running). I don't think he was banned, but he hasn't been around in months and I hope he's alive and well somewhere.
Dangevin - Used to post the NA price guide years ago and has slowly faded away. I'm assuming he's like NGD, still has a collection and just doesn't add to it / post anymore.
Any ideas or other members you wonder about?

He's been MIA for awhile, but he did show up briefly in Oct / November. Got into some heated political / religious debates and said he wasn't coming back, or at least taking a long break again.

When I first joined I remember RetroBasement posted quite heavily.

The one I always wonder about is Will (Jumpman), the crazy Canadian that sold off his amazing collection, went backpacking for a year with that money, fell in love to a Korean girl, and got married. If I ever sell my collection in its entirety, that is what I plan to do. I know Will surely isn't into collecting anymore, but I am still curious what he is up to now, seeing as I view him and his exit as sort of a legend in itself.
I bought a lot of his collection. He still has tons of pieces remaining.

I miss Raybot. We were both going strong back in the day.
This was the first guy I thought of when I read the title to this thread. It seemed like he was really active while compiling his NES collection, but once he finished the loose set he disappeared. I was also curious as to what happened to him.

And whatever happened to Ankermane?
He's still around, did a trade with him at the beginning of October. He said he has a new position with his current job and is no longer at a computer like he used to be. So he's more of a lurker now than a poster.
Lots of great names in this thread and lots of questions, but few answers so far. Hoping someone has some intel on any of the other members!
As for Missclawful, she had to sell her collection for financial reasons, last I remember. Haven't really seen her at all since that happened, hope it all worked out for her.
Any news on GameBoyScotty?
He felt as though he was treated unfairly due to a HOS nomination and he rage quit NA. He may be active on other gaming forums, but I haven't seen anything from him in quite some time. Oddly, I was just wondering how he's doing the other day. Shame he felt the need to leave.

My understanding is that Missclawful was living out of her car for awhile and doing perler bead art through Etsy I think to make ends meat. Several of us in chat tried to get some funds together to help her (i.e. make expensive perler bead orders so it'd give her funds and wouldn't feel like a handout) but we never knew how to get ahold of her for it since she left here.

She was selling some awesome cross-stitch work to raise some money, and I was able to snag one just before she logged off. I've been wondering about her ever since. Hope she's alright.

I wonder how JHawkZZ is doing. Brother Nights was going pretty strong there for a while. Hope he is doing well.

He is doing really well. I just visited him & his family a few months ago. He has a awesome house & land. I also miss Missclawful. Did anyone have her address maybe send a card. I loved doing gaming challenges with her

C'mon now we all know this thread was created to ask about Blooper. He is probably off enjoying a Gamecube game or something .
26th post! Who had 26th post in their pool?
I'm surprised it took that long for someone to mention the ol' Bloop.

Man, I completely forgot about him. I suppose we're only talking about members that actually mattered and not some annoyance .p

What does it mean if I'm getting nostalgic about past members on a board devoted to something I feel nostalgic about?
It was like he got run over by a truck or something.
