It's troubling to say the least. I hope he is simply just incarcerated. That's better than the alternative. Everyday posters don't simply disappear for a month.

WTF, you hope he's incarcerated? LOL.... I mean that is kind of drastic. There are at least a few alternatives other than incarceration or death (God forbid).....

I've noticed there are always a couple formerly-frequent posters who have gone quiet. Most of them come back, some don't. Whether the ones who don't have found other forums, lost interest, or gone off to the great card show in the sky is beyond me.

Bobby,

I know Darren submitted with our Swingin Sixties PSA group. Surely, you have his contact information. Google his full name and see what comes up, or give him a text. Not posting in over a month is one thing, but not even logging in is potentially bad news. God forbid...

His form wasn't as "nice" as some of the others. Some of the guys put their cell phone number...their street address...etc...etc.....his form was just kinda like a google docs sheet with no info. I feel horrible.

As someone who has observed comings and goings, I would agree with this.
His registration is 11 yrs old and he has an outdated phone number. I sent him an email so we'll see. I don't usually think the worst. I usually think they are taking a break or just doing something else. Of course there can be bad news but that isn't normally the issue.

Nice to see the concern for a liked forum member. It does seem he had some (serious?) health concerns as indicated by a post earlier this year.

I didn't remember that. That's not a good sign.

Yikes. I have not been active on the whole enough lately to have realized, but sure hope Darren is ok. My google results on what is probably a fairly common name in California are not turning up anything one way or the other. If anyone finds anything please keep us posted.

Hope you are out there still shaking your head over OC's vs. straight grade slabs somewhere, Jolly!

Darren contacted me a while ago. He has had some health issues, and other things, but is trying to get back into it. He said he will try to post soon.
