I couldn't agree more. They seemed to be a pretty solid forum member and seemingly just a good person. They also offered up some very needed support for myself when I needed it most. Meant a lot.
Sorry to see this DireWolf. Let's hope for something like they had some sort of life issue that isn't too serious (but was a legit reason to keep them away) and that they'll come back and honor their commitment.
There are good and bad periods in our whole lifespans. It is not easy to say one person is good or bad but a truly good person will not change the way he or she reacts to anything happens to his or her life. It is so easily to be a good person when you have perfect condition, no troubles even minor troubles. I of course don't mention about truly bad guys who always behave badly.
During bad periods and when have to facing with challenges, if one person keeps demonstrating how good he or she is as he or she always shows, that will be a truly good person.
On the forum, and on the online space, it is not easy thing to verify so don't trust and don't put your trust and money (with high amount) to anyone else.
