I am using his other email, Yahoo. It still works, and I am waiting for a responce. Hope everything is ok, but more likely he is just taking a break or got busy, like people usually do. Or got a family emergency...

I haven't seen Magrus on MSN for ages. I haven't e-mailed him. I know of his medical condition, Inshallah everything is ok. I really hope it is. Wouldn't Athena know? I heard on the rumor mill they are close or cosy or whatever other adjective i heard used. Luis should know...

I know he has a medical condition, but I don't know what it is. All I know is that he was prescribed pills...

If he doesn't show up in the next week or so, and if nobody hears back via email.... we may want to consider touching base with his ISP. Clearly, they wouldn't provide confidential information, but they might be willing to attempt contacting him on our behalf.
Unless somebody has his phone number, in which case perhaps calling him might not be out of line. Normally, people here just sort of gradually fade away, posting less and less... but Magrus appears to have suddenly dropped off of the edge of the planet...
He may well just be occupied with RL stuff, but it's slightly concerning that he just vanished cold turkey after being around so much.
Just a thought anyway.

IIRC correctly, he has done this once before, but I agree, contactign his ISP may be a good idea... 
Mag: Don't remember much at all of last night do you?
Me: put simply.... No
Mag: From what I put together of your late night drunken ramblings? Vodka, 3 girls, and then we played tic-tac-toe and slapped each other around.

I don't have a current phone number to reach him. I called where he (used to) live yesterday, and this guy told me he hasn't lived there for a couple months. I've been away for a few months recently, and we lost touch.
But the guy on the phone seemed nice and told me when he sees/talks to Mag, that he'll tell him I called.

[QUOTE=Lestat]Doesn't Cuchulain82 know him IRL? And I think I saw him posting today (cuch, not Magrus).[/QUOTE]
Cuch has been around; I received a PM from him earlier today, so chances are he'll be checking in again sometime soon. I'll ask him if he knows anything..

I just sent him an e-mail, but the truth is that I haven't spoekn w/him in a while. I got busy, he got a job (right?) and now... I dunno. My only other bright idea was Athena, but she's already said that she hasn't seen him in a while.
While part of me feels like I am worrying over nothing, kinda like an old grandmother, this whole thing is disconcerning.
As a side note, it is nice to know that people here (Lestat, DW, et al) still notice when I post.

Well, it isn't really my place to tell the little bit that I do know about his condition, but I can say that he is not well. That is part of the collective concern, I believe...

All I know this, all I know that. I want to know if he's alive. Damn. And I'm deeply concerned with his current status, having a problem or not nothing saves us from a lost bullet, or a car crash, or a simple and effective network problem while being very busy.
I'll be thinking hard on he being well, for now. I hope he is fine.

Flesh to stone ain't permanent, it seems.
Well his last posts (on the 5th) seemed to me run of the mill Magrus posts, so whyever he's not on GB anymore (or apparently even the net) seems to be linked to his off-line life.

The fact that he's completely disappeared from the web, along with his unstable health, are the main concern. If/when I hear from him, I will say something. I sent it to his Gmail address.
@Luis: fyi, the expression in English is a 'stray bullet', not a 'lost bullet'. I know exactly what you meant, but I thought that you would appreciate it. I know that when I speak Spanish, the little things that I do wrong are the hardest.
One other quick question- is GB really slow for anyone else? It is horribly slow for me, and has been all day.

I sent him something in gmail as well, to no reply. GB has been lagging all day, it's not just you.

@ Cuch: yeah for me it's now so slow that I might as well send this answer by snailmail. Apparently it's a GB problem. Ravvy was talking about it and said that GB might even have to go off line for a day...
Here's hoping for Magrus that it's something silly like a damaged line that takes ages to fix. But one's mind does tend to get pestered with WCS's in these circumstances.
