Where's Netkeeper?
 

Last I checked he hasn't posted in like a month, and was fairly active before that.
Normally I wouldn't give much thought to it - everyone gets busy sometimes - but it's no secret he was having some serious health problems, psychologically.
Has anyone had contact with him within the past few weeks? I hope he's all right.

I've noticed his absence as well, but have no way of contacting him. Hope he comes back soon.

Didn't he have his bubblyshell metldown right before he left? I hope he's alright as well.

I hope he comes back IMPROVED. More of the same I'm not interested in. But right now his absence can only be a good thing for him... seems like this place was driving him up the wall.

Yeah. I hope he's getting the help he needs right now instead of digging himself into a bigger hole. Hopefully he's still out there...

Hopefully he's alright.

But yeah, a break from this place may do him a lot of good

I don't think he's ever gonna get the "safe space" he needs here.

I don't believe there is such a thing as a "safe space" in a public forum. I mean, you can't control other people (unless you're a mod).

You either figure out a way to coexist, you use the Ignore option, or you leave.

Yeah, exactly.

I'm sure netkeeper is fine. Some people just take a break from forums.

Does everytime someone is gone for a month you guys get concerned?

Actually, 'Cubed, re-read my first post!

Come to think of it, we never did see Dirty Blonde show up again, did we? The last thread he made said, "I wish I was dead. Period." and we never heard from him since.

I wonder if he's still alive.

He's still posting on Tumblr, so I assume he's fine.

He's right up there with Waldo

People come and go. Half the people from back around 2005-2012 or so don't post here anymore either or barely post.

Not everyone sticks around forums forever besides a select few like myself.

Yeah, it's kinda sad how people can let internet message forums get to them like this. I think his issues lie deeper.

Nope, he hasn't posted again. You did say that he logged in a time or another ever since his last post, however.

I don't mean to convey a sense of cynicism, but I don't think NetKeeper's returning.

This place isn't/wasn't a good place for him. He couldn't express his opinion(s)/perspective on a topic without people either mocking his beliefs or viciously bullying him. In addition, he was clearly stressed out about his current situation; the circumstances surrounding the Technodrome (at that time) didn't help. I feel like everyone should have made an effort to treat him better, myself included. I feel sorry for him, and I hope he gets the help he needs.

Anyway, I think he's gone for good. It's a shame. :(

That's utter poppycock.
No one openly mocked his beliefs nor "viciously [bullied] him", unless you can cite an instance of deliberate intent to offend him.
It seemed to me he had a number of personal issues that cascaded on him at once and ended up with him freaking out. It had nothing to do with how 'Dromers treated him.

"Papenbrook Shames Us All."

That's Bingo for me; g'nite, everybody!

Bingo already?? Prove it! Show me your board!

So these forums have a bingo card now? Boy has this place become a parody of itself!

"Papenbrook Shames Us All"
"This Thread Needs to be Locked"
FREE SPACE
Something something something...

Aw, hell. I need two more squares.

Oh man, bingo ALREADY?

What the f*ck are you on about with people bullying Net, Pappy? All of his problems came from the outside world, not here.

This thread needs to be locked.

There's your next BINGO square

You've already used this one, try again.

You're a scumbag. We all treated Net like everyone else. The only person he hated was Bubbly, over some beef a long while back.

This.

You need a new schtick, Cubed! That one's getting a little old.

This. Goodnight all.
