Eheh... erm...

Maybe this is serious after all.

What the hell is that and why am I both sickened and curious to know the context?

[Jaxxoon R]

It's just some dumb PS2 platformer game I still remember somehow. It was actually pretty decent, to be honest.

The joke is he's got the same name and is an extinct animal and he disappeared once. There's also a reference to Home Alone in there, as per this.

I still have Ty for gamecube...

Where is Ty Halderman?

No One Knows. I sent emails to 2 of the addresses he's got and received no answer from either of them. This really is remarkably worrying. :/ I'll keep trying.

[Yuki Senmatsu]

Welp, I know what to do until he shows up, continue making some fanart.

i feel so mortal

It's been more than six weeks since Ty was last online on gamers.org, and we (that's Kapi, John and I, as outlined before) have to consider the likelihood that he will not return anymore. :-(

John found this information page which matches the "S Peters St" address we had for him, and also his alias. It suggests that Ty is 69 years of age, and while we don't know the source of that assertion, if true it is more likely that his online absence is health related.

We have no further info about his whereabouts (if someone in New Orleans would be willing to inquire, I can provide the exact address in private), and we keep hoping he's okay. But whatever the reason for his absence, it's time that idgames maintenance is resumed, so we're looking for a new maintainer in this new topic.

I'd always assumed he was younger than me, and I'm one of the forum's geriatrics.

[Tiger]

I sincerely hope everything is okay with Ty....

[Enjay]

This is starting to get worrying. I hope he's OK.

I take it that his zebok email address is one of the ones that have been tried?

I'm honestly afraid this is one of these threads which builds up to a single post saying "I just got a call from his great-great-grandfather. Ty Halderman died from cancer while committing suicide during a car accident."

Heh, that got a chuckle out of me. But in all honesty, I'm really hoping Ty is all right. Being left in the dark on stuff like this sucks. Here's hoping we get news on his status soon. The good kind.

[Reisal]

Like others, this prolonged absence is indeed both troublesome and becoming worrysome to us. I really hope he is OK.

I am New Orleans-local. If you're able to shoot me a PM sometime soon Xymph, I can try to get in touch with Ty.

RIP, Espi, Assmaster, Toke.

I thought Ty was half that age. I really commend him for working so hard for us.

Best of luck. I really hope that he's okay.

[Dragonsbrethren]

I really hope Ty's alright, I keep expecting to see a post from him explaining the situation every time I check this thread. I've pulled my share of disappearing acts when I got bored, or stressed, or just too busy to check in. Now that I know his age, I'm a lot more concerned than I had been.

[Cupboard]

Best wishes to Ty and his family during this uncertain time. Thx guys for trying to fill in as best you can because this is a bedrock Doom community service he was providing.

Is Ty secretly Michael Rosen?

[Memfis]

Didn't he move from New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina?

[Mordeth]

Fisk, you have a PM.

[Canofbacon]

The guy who has hissy obviously kidnapped Ty and now he is holding them hostage.

[Mordeth]

A New Orleans Doomer volunteered to visit Ty's last known address. What we now know: Ty is alive, but hospitalized. Since we didn't press his family for details the exact circumstances or his condition are not known.

[Cacatou]

Thank goodness that Ty's alive. Really hope he recovers soon.

[franckFRAG]

Seeing that I didn't really speak him, I wish him a good restoring.

[Obsidian]

Thank goodness he's alright. All the best with your recovery mang.

[Tristan]

Wishing Ty a speedy recovery. Essential pillar indeed.

[Jaxxoon R]

Ah... well. That's good-ish. See? I assumed he was mostly fine.

...

Now what do we do...?

[kmxexii]

Godspeed, Ty

[Reisal]

Get well soon, Ty. Hopefully we can get more information in due time on what landed him in the hospital.
