IMHO the police is premature

I happen to have lovely access to several medical service. Why am I not using them? I tend to want to stay out of jail, number 1. Number 2, they are for cancer victims, so will be no use. Number 3. It is unethical. Number 4. That is private information, which I would rather not touch. And many more reasons... I am sure that anyone else on here in the medical field would agree with me; do it and die, basically. Not that I would condone doing it if it was legal anyways.Fas wrote:Look i am not sure how much you guys know about Magrus, but yes his condition is something very much to be concerned about. At least it is for us as we do like magrus and are concerned.
I worked my butt of, and have now memorized everything from Mags server location and specs right down to anything personal that Mag has disclosed to the Internet. My SO is not in a good mood, as the phone cut off in the middle of an important sentence to an emergency.Fas wrote:Ik I have never complained to buck about any member, but making you the first one does have a nice ring to it. If you don't know what is going or or you aren't concerned sod off.
Actually, many of us know a lot about others. I even know a alot about DW, and could probably find out where she lives in about two minutes from any location with an Internet connection by using 411.ca. Given my digging of past threads I can even discern a certain amount about Fiona, and a little about you. Kind if scary.Fas wrote:Calling the police is very premature. I would wait for more concrete information. I mean who spoke to Mag last on MSN, who knows the most about his location and general life.
You may have a point, but DW knows his name from GMail and I know his IP address, along with DW now, thanks to T. I already dug around his server, but did no illegal function. I am not a Internet master of much of a computer user; anytime that it says I am entering a private area I leave, and I immediately dig no farther upon reaching restricted areas or firewalls. If they left it open for us to find, such as a name search site, then it isn't illegal, we are merely looking up his phone number.Fas wrote:Before we get way ahead of ourselves, because i am guessing but i am 40% certain we could be breaking some laws in the US. Tracking someone down for whatever good intentions is still invasion of privacy and with the current regime in power i am certainly not in the mood to find out about some obscure law in the US penal code.
We already have a long list (which DW has sent to everyone who knew already pretty much everything we know about Magrus, and posted stuff here) of items that have been recovered. For a while we pursued the idea that he lives in Virgina, but I should have paid more attention to the Rochester part I saw. Instead we found his ISP's server.I say wait for a few days and gather general information about magrus. Wait for Sol who has his number to show up. If anybody has Sol's number, e-mail or MSN please inform her to contact us.
DW tried calling one of the places, and a person with a heavy Hispanic accent answered. She barely understood much of it...Out of all the numbers called did we get any leads whatsoever? I mean nothing? No forwarding address no mention of when they saw Mag last?
He posted in Non-RPG Discussion and SYM, therefore we already had his IP, and T gave it to DW, thanks to her. I just used it to find some stuff, nothing to deep.I am stunned at all the info we dug up! By 'we' I mean 'someone here other than myself'- I certainly don't have any idea how they got that info.
We tried:Luis wrote:I only know what his location. I have long forgotten his name....not sure what it is. But Rochester was the place me mentioned. Now the question is can DW and Hill contact him at either one of those places? Or does anybody have the contact information of his friends or family? E-mails would work as well.
His IP from just moving is to Rochester. I have his old one as well, and am digging up correlating information. However, nothing really important... I found that servers location again...Luis wrote:He was meant to change town because of a new job, so I believe he's not in Rochester.
In my case, it would be impossible.I know I'd be pretty disconcerted if a bunch of people at GB who didn't know many of my personal details tracked me down.....
I don't think his ISP does phones, but they may. I don't it, however.If mags Internet IS down, isn't it likely that his phone may also be down?
I can even discern a certain amount about Fiona
