we're getting worried about you now.

i know right :-(

me too, havent seen him on the ps3 for over 3 months

Yeah, weird he hasn't been on... but didn't he say a while back that he was moving? Maybe he hasn't got net connected at his new place?

I recall something like that. Also that his mother had a problem with it or something. Hope it wasn't too ugly.

I'm pretty sure he hasn't been online the PS3 cause he lost his account after the PSN when down. When he eventually reached the bottom of my list after having been offline the longest, I had to delete him to make room for someone else. I felt bad doing it, but I figured If he got a new PSN he would post it here and I could add him.

Sadly it looks like he's not been around here either. Anyone know if he did make a new PSN?

really?
if thats the case, why didnt it auto delete or when i checked him said that it wasnt a valid account anymore?

i made mine back in 2008 to play socom on the psp, a few matches and then i didnt use it again until i got my ps3 early this year. and it was not deactivated or anything after 2 years of abandonement.

then again, i dont usually go to forums like the xbox and PS officials

No the account still exists. But he might not be able to access it unless he actually used an associated email address. Basically, I had several PSN IDs that I used for playing Call Of Duty when I fancied a change of name for a while. But when you make an account on the PS3, you don't actually have to enter any legit details, unless you intend on using the PS Store to buy things. So I would just throw a random email address in and some address details of anywhere. When the PSN came back up and I tried to log into those accounts, it told me I needed to reset my password via email. Obviously that email address never existed, so I couldn't. The account was lost.

My main account which I collect trophies on is linked to my email and stuff. So i never lost that one. I'm just wondering if he did what I described above. I don't think he would have done that but I know it had been over 3 months since he was last online when I had to delete him.

On a similar note, what is your PSN? I don't have many people from here on my friends list. I'll add you when I next get online.

My PSN is DieFluxDie. Purely a coincidence, I swear...

Do you actually have a PS3 or do you still have your head so far up 360's ass you can taste disc tray?

If you do, add me.

CPD2009 has gathered up enough courage to go on with sending a letter to his mom asking if she knows if he's okay. However we're holding it off until Tuesday. We know that Agent is a big fan of The Amazing Race, and the new season premieres Monday. I want to check out one final possibility before taking the letter route.

(btw, I'm sorry if I've frightened some people into thinking I've vanished too by going off the shrine for a while too. TF2 distracted me, and then a lot of things happened).

I've even googled him and found him on a bunch of other sites where his last activity was in April... yes I'm that worried

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Edit: Okay, I'll clarify.

I am pretty sure I was never a 360 fanboy, man. Maybe back in '07 when I first got one I would have said the PS3 was way too expensive for what it was (it was), but that isn't really fanboyism. I've also had a PS3 since a little after they released the Slim and since then I've said the PS3 is probably a better purchase than a 360. Never mind all that though, so I don't particularly like either and do most of my gamin' on PC and Wii.

I do have a PSN but I wouldn't give it to a cranky dude like you. My friends list is a place of tranquillity, man.

Oh no. :(
I hope he's alright.

chewey u r kool

So any update yet?

Sadly, no. We gave the letter two weeks to get from SD to Ohio a reply to come back from Ohio to SD. Nothing came back. This is getting worrying.

Anyone in the shrine live near the Dayton, OH area?

:-( !

if you have his address it probably shouldn't be hard to get ahold of his home phone number assuming they still have one?

Anyone in the shrine live near the Dayton, OH area?
If you consider a five hour driving radius "near" Dayton then yes I do...

Well, I think I'll give it a few days, and if I still don't hear from him, I'll write in to his mom myself.

Have you heard yet Ramchyld?

I hope he's ok :<

I did a google search of his full name... and I actually did find a bunch of results about a death notice and obituary. BUT I'm pretty sure it's not him, because this guy died in November 2010. Scary though...

That's not him. That obituary is for a forty-year-old man living in Deer Park, NY. There is also one other person, a teenager, with the same name who lives in Louisiana and posts on video game websites. But we know that's not him either.

As of now, there is no reason to be scared.

Like everybody, I got worried and did some research a couple months back when we first realized he was missing. I'll put it this way: It's pretty terrifying how much info you can find on someone just by googling for five minutes. But it's lucky for us that George did put a lot out there. There are no indications (other than his lack of online activity) that anything drastic has happened. That's encouraging. And, on top of that, there are positive signs suggesting that he's fine. Just gotta be patient and see if the letter pans out.

/stalker cloak back on/

or (for Final Fantasy fans)

/smoke bomb/

I guess we're on the same page then Arthur. Just what do you mean by "there are positive signs suggesting that he's fine"? Because, you're right, he did put a lot out there, but everywhere on the internet where he seems to be, his last activity was before June 2011. It's also not like him at all to just disappear from the internet, knowing him, if his internet broke, he would have accessed from an internet cafe or a friend's place and maintained contact.

i hope agent comes back soon. he's a nice guy to have around.

Well, I have his address not because I looked it up, but I've pretty much got him to buy stuff for me from the US in the past, and once I sent a calendar over to him (well, Malaysian calendars are somewhat useless in the US, but it's the pictures on the calendar he's interested in). And of course his phone number is readily available on the white pages online if you have his address.

If I write tho, I'd most likely be addressing it his mom's family name instead of her full name (again, found on the white pages with Agent's address). I just hope she'll open it tho.

Happy birthday to Agent, wherever you are.

Happy birthday to Agent, wherever you are.

Well, it's interesting. Arthurgolden just pointed me to Agent's TVTropes activity page and it has been bustling with Activity up until this morning. Pretty odd, I could've sworn I've checked that page sometime ago and saw no more activity since June this year.
Anyways, an anecdote of a dream I had during a nap a few days ago, posted to another forum (I didn't really feel like posting it here until today for some reason):


Oh wow, just woke up from sleep. Strange dream.

I dreamt that I was up in space, then quickly shot down to Earth. Then I believe I was on a US highway zooming ultra fast (I think I was on a US highway because the signboards are blue and all have this strange red, white and blue badge on it). Next thing I know, I was at a business meeting in full suit. There was this guy who looked suspiciously like the said missing friend giving a presentation. After he was done and everyone got up and left, I got up and asked him if he is indeed the missing friend. He said he was.

We talked a bit. He showed me this website that allows one to modify/poopify any youtube video and set it to music.

I then asked him why he hasn't been online.

He said that his phone line was on the fritz and that the AT&T guys are taking forever to come over and fix it (yeah, he specifically mentioned AT&T).

I then shook hands with him and thanked him for everything he's done to help me.

Then I woke up.

I'm not sure what this is. Astral projection? mind-linked etherspace meeting? Just some fancy garbane my mind made up to console me over my worries on what happened to him? On one hand, it's possible that my mind could've created a virtual environment out of this afternoon's Google Earth session and carefully placed together the scenery based on shows and pictures it has seen on TV, as well as random brands heard over TV and the Internet. On the other hand, the colors in this dream was... different. My dreams usually have more vivid colors. The colors here are more akin to 70s technicolor films.

Is he even using AT&T?

Very weird.

cpd2009 later pointed out that Agent once told him that he's using Bell, so I guess this dream is jossed.

I could've sworn the same thing. For that reason, people shouldn't get too excited yet. A time-stamp can end up being misleading for lots of reasons. However, I'm remaining cautiously optimistic. I sent a message to him and will let people know if he responds.

Any new information yet?

Ok, I actually had the letter to his mom posted yesterday. It's going to the US by airmail, since that's about the fastest I can get it to the US. Not sure if his mom will reply, I included my facebook profile name and my e-mail address, hopefully we'll hear something from her soon.

Any response in the mail?

None I'm afraid :( Looks like it's down to you writing to his sister on Facebook :(

:-(

i still have him in my friends list on the ps3. and he will remain so.

I apologize for not responding to this more quickly. I know many people are worried about Agent. My concern was in making sure my information was correct.

To answer the basic questions: He has not responded to my messages or RAMChYLD's.

However, the primary concern was always "Is he okay?" The answer is definitely yes. Several of his family members are in the habit of putting the details of their daily lives online for anyone to see, and his sister posted as recently as a few days ago about the gifts she gave Agent this Christmas.

The secondary question then becomes, "Why the hell hasn't he responded to any of us?" All we can do is speculate, but I'm convinced he's gotten our messages, maybe even has seen this thread without logging in, and is avoiding us. I have no idea why. You can call it irresponsible behavior, considering the genuine concern people have about him. But there it is.

More so, I wouldn't be surprised at all if he has created new accounts on his favorite websites under a new username. Clearly, that's pure speculation. But he's either abandoned the internet completely (which isn't the case) or we can't find him because he's not going by Agent0042 or a permutation of his real name anymore.

It's a bummer, I know. He was a decent guy, and a big part of our community. He'll be missed, and I hope he comes back some day.

would sarah be kind enough to provide someone with his Ip? he can be traced that way, and see if there is any new activity from that IP.

If ya'll weren't stalkers yet, that would do it.

If we know he's ok, then there's no need for that. Wouldn't that be a bit extreme anyway? Let's use his IP to hunt him down!! When he's obviously trying to stay under the radar by not being online here or anywhere else for quite a while.

IP won't be that useful if his ISP only provides dynamic IP addresses tho. And afaik, in most cases, IP addresses are dynamic for home packages.

Anyways, I agree with AG that he probably wants to either start anew, or want some quiet time alone. So let's let him be.

I too have him on my friends list on my PS3. And it'll stay that way. As current it indicates that he has not logged on in months.

If we know he's ok, then there's no need for that. Wouldn't that be a bit extreme anyway?

I'm with Jessie. The goal here was not to invade his or his family's privacy. It was to see if there was any indication that something had happened to him. Since he was such an active member, it was totally bizarre and hard to believe that he simply stopped logging into any of his accounts. Now we know he's fine, so case closed as far as I'm concerned.


If y'all weren't stalkers yet, that would do it.

This is the most interesting issue for me and the thing I�ve spent the most time thinking about.

Since Agent disappeared in June, I�ve written him one PM, on another site, after he'd been gone from here for five months. And I�ve spent about 20 minutes total googling his name, which led me to his mother and sister�s name, which led me to their physical addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, social networking pages, personal websites, places of employment, full names, birthdates, favorite TV show lists, et cetera et cetera. Literally 20 minutes of googling and I found anything you would ever want to know about them and Agent. No hacking, no secret know-how�you can tell how much I know about computers by the fact that the best I can come up with is �hacking� and �know-how.�

But it feels icky, doesn�t it? I spent a day in class this past semester talking to my students about these issues. The consensus seemed to be that googling someone�s name was not stalking, but telling people you googled someone�s name made you a stalker.

I can see where they�re coming from, but I think that�s so odd. It�s worth thinking about.

I guess now he's a..





Secret agent.




YYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Not to be insensitive, but if someone I knew was purposely ignoring my PMs, phone calls, or other form of correspondence (especially snail mail), I would say fuck them and move on with my life. They obviously don't think much of you or the friendship if they aren't willing take a few minutes to reply back to you.

I may have felt differently about this subject a long while back, but as of the last two years, I've come to realize that a majority of the people out there are selfish dicks.

What if he witnessed a murder and has to lay low???

glad he's okay, hope he decides to come back at some point ~

As long as he's not here I have little to zero motivation to frequent this forum or be active :[

Wow, Agent will sure be missed if he doesn't return :( I wonder what happened. . . . He's never hinted at vacating the Shrine and not returning, so I hope everything's all right with him. It's good to know he's safe and sound at least!

Take care, wherever you are, Agent.

I wonder if anyone worried about me when I went AWOL those several months simply because I didn't anything else I needed from this forum.
I became active again on June 5, 2011. :)

EDIT: Well, there was that one period after logging out on September 30, 2011, where I was only visiting once a week every Friday,

This thread isn't about you, you narcissist.

Totally, nobody worries about that guy. They would only worry about someone like me.
You narsasisedtdt d

---------- Post added at 02:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:03 AM ----------

Don't worry guys I was only away for a short time, I know you care about me guys. right guys..

Agent has slipped into the FFShrine abyss. We're all in here, didn't you guys know?

Yeah that right.. People care bout me..


Damn it denny you ruined my loser combo post.
I wanted to reply just like this the next day after no one replied.

Is it weird I keep reading the title as 'Agent 0404 where are you?!?!'...

must be too many error messages on ur behalf. and i thought i was weird...

Any updates on his whereabouts?

So whatever became of Agent_0042? I was looking through several old message boards of his and Yahoo groups.

i miss you agenttttttt

hes still in my psn friend list.
last active two years ago

:(

hi sarah

hallo :)

Just noticed this thread. Over the summer I asked one of Agent's friends if there was any word from him. The last message I received, as of June 16, was that Agent had written a reply via letter to that person saying he's fine, but "would like to lay low for now. He did not explain why."

HE NEEDS TO STOP LAYING LOW

Holy shit, someone has a personal life outside of an internet forum devoted to a niche gaming series in a niche gaming genre?! Get out.

I do have a lust for waffle irons!

Like with Prak and many others... I don't think Agent 0042 will return...

and now i must cry, while i masturbate with my tears.

No one knows what the future will hold. Maybe he and others will make a return. Have hope.

Sadly, I do know for a fact that Prak, Koenma and Millenia have no intention to return here. Shame really (especially in the case of Prak, he's sorely needed back I think).

you're still in touch with all of them then? tell them i said hi~

why they no wanna come bachs?

Well, they were the last three I spoke with... and Prak was the last one I spoke with over Xbox Live sometime ago. He pretty much told me he was done with this site and had no intention to come back ever.

Just out of curiosity, when he said "done with this site," did he mean it positively or negatively? Like, did he just feel he lost interest in it or was it due to assholes or the like?

Negatively. He hates what the forum has become and refuses to have anymore to do with it.

Why didn't he go over to the STS site?

Because he wants nothing to do with this site or anyone on it now.

we're getting worried about you now.http://softwarenice.com/image/images/136.gif

Well, I did find out what happened to our Agent_0042:

https://www.dailycourt.com/bankruptcy/details/id/309749

As of last check we did another forum and via Facebook a couple years ago, George was living at men's shelter. No news on his current whereabouts in 2019.

Hey, I have an idea. Maybe you should leave him alone.
