Today's the second day without a post from salem.  He usually posts when he's going to take a break.  I really hope this isn't a really bad thing.

 He hasn't answered my pm either !.....

I've pretty much accepted that Sol is no longer with us as any accident or health issue requiring hospitalization would have resulted in recovery by now.  We know nothing short of tragedy would have kept him from meeting up with Foxy again at the AVN. 

And now, day 5 of Salem missing.  Last of the moderators?

I didn't want to jump to conclusions. But as soon as I read the Foxy didn't see him at the AVN I felt it must be something serious. Kind of like when zookie suddenly stopped posting.

this is the awful side of the Internet. People disappear and you can't get their news anywhere

I agree 100%.   

I don't know if it was really him but the zookie007 account was active Feb 12 this year. It'd been inactive since May 2024 before that. Maybe he's ok (zookie I mean).

salem's back!  Everyone rejoice!

Hi Salem!
I hope one day we find out what happened to Sol.

That isn't him. He has posted pictures of himself, I checked the obit notice, it is a different guy. His first name was George.

[MaxBigfoot]

Yeah, and that guy was a lot older than sol, too.  sol's only about 67 or so.

  Hmmm.... I'm presuming that you h
ave 'death certificates' in the U.S. ( Just like we do , here in the U.K.) ??  So therefore  it should be possible to check via public records ??
   Do we have any members in the right part of the U.S. that could investigate this ??   

[wolpertinger]

anyhow, whatever we can and will find out regarding Sol's fate, I'd find it would be the right time to move this thread to the Community Health & Memorial Notices now

[lucaxyz2]

I just want to chime in that I too have noticed Solvegas and his lack of presence and am concerned. 

I really hope he's okay, but each additional day that passes (since his last time online January 22, 2026, 08:24:41 PM) feels like a painful reinforcement that something very bad has happened to him. 

I'm also wondering if we should add his name up in the subject header of this thread, and possibly have the thread moved to Bearchive's Community health section at https://forum.bearchive.com/index.php?board=20.0

  If any of the mods want to add Solvegas' name to the thread title , I'm fine with that !  .... Can't see how to change it myself ,without screwing up the whole shooting match !.....

I still am wondering what has happened to him. I mean I still hope that all of a sudden he pops back with a message like "Hi guys! Been missing me?" But i still am waiting for Palomine after years...

[titorteat]

He has not logged in since January 23rd. Is he really gone...? I miss his posts.
