Does anyone have any information that might make it possible to contact him?

I know which library he used, but I don't know how that information would help contact him.

If anyone finds or remembers anything in an old ringo post that might help track him down please let me know.

Privacy
Unfortunately I don't feel I can make public any information that I only know because I'm an admin. What I remember from what he's posted publicly is that he lives in Saskatchewan, he uses the computer at the public library, and his alternate aliases are Mr. Correct, Norm, Ringo316 and zombie ringo. I don't know who the actress in his avatar is - maybe Ann-Margret? He's used other avatars in the past, but that was before I modified the software to keep a history.

No luck tracking down Ringo. I read a bunch of obituaries from February 10th to about a week forward. I checked the hours he tended to post with library branch hours and wasn't able to narrow it down to just one branch. I did an online chat with staff there and they said they couldn't help me.

Private Contact Info
Anyone who would like to leave behind some private contact info for friends or family should send me a PM and I'll save the information away. You can trust that I will keep it private. I won't even read it before filing it away in a folder I've created.
I can see everyone's currently email address in their profile, but of course people do change their email address, so email addresses cannot be relied upon to be working. And they are of no help if someone's unable to respond. We were fortunate to be have contact people for Anglagard, RAZD, Buzsaw, Asgara and Robin Rohan.
Speaking of which, Dr Adequate's last post was October 6, 2020. Do we know he's okay? Off the top of my head I recall that he lived in the Las Vegas area. Is there anyone else we wouldn't expect to just disappear? Edge's last post was July 27, 2019.
I'm thinking of filing a "should I leave this earthly plane" document with my lawyer.

Re: Private Contact Info
I often wonder what's been going on with you, probably true of many here. Like the new avatar.

Looking at Ringo’s posts shows him as “(Idle past 10 days)”.

I would expect that to mean that somebody logged into his account 11 days ago. But maybe it just means that the transition to “idle” status happened then. Perhaps Percy/Admin can explain? (It’s not in the FAQ)
Anyone who's accessed the site in the past 90 days is considered active. After that you're considered inactive or idle. Ringo is 10 days out from the 90 day active period that began after his most recent access back in February.
Maybe once someone is judged inactive it would be better to count from the time of their last access rather than the end of the time of their most recent active period.

This change has been made. Ringo's been idle for 101 days.
