Either he's dead, badly injured or has lost absolutely all interest in Halo as well as FreeSpace (maybe he got a job?).

Re: What do you think is happening?
Why does everyone think he blew up his PC? What are the odds of that happening?

depends on the conditions... but it happened to me... and it was a 3 year old piece of junk... so the odd are there
Imagine awakening, and hearing the heartbeat of the galaxy for the first time.
It is like a cloud, a mist that drifts from living creature to creature, set in motion by currents and eddies.
It is the eye of the storm, the passions of all living things turned into energy, into a chorus.
It is the rising swell at the end of life, the promise of new territories and new blood, the call of new mysteries in the dark.

Re: What do you think is happening?
think about it: the odds of him ditching the freespace forums AND the bungie forums are pretty scarce (seeing what a halo fan he is). My opinion still stands.

Mine is 7 years.

On a side note, where'd jr2 go?

Re: What do you think is happening?
Your wait is over guys: I recieved the following mail from devrous:

"Starlord,

Hey! Yes, it has been a while. Fate conspired against
me over the last few months. A virus pretty much
"munched" my machine early Feb. The subsequent battle
for data-loss-prevention led me to blow some serious
cash, which also led to a lack of bill-payment! DOH!
Needless to say, I've been in the internet-less island
for a few months, crying myself to sleep...ok, not
really, but it was quite sad. I lost most of my
passwords and I, being a security freak, couldn't
remember most of my passwords to HLP, ModDB, and THIS
email account! I finally remembered today during
class. ATM I'm writing from a school computer, and I'm
honestly moved that there is a following for FS2H.

If you would be so kind as to either post this email,
or your own summary of it, on HLP I'd be most
appreciative. I'll be getting internet back properly
soon at my home, and I'll post myself once I get it
back up and running.

Rest assured that I have still been working on the
mod; at least as much as I could since its corruption.
Oddly enough, the same thing happened last year when
my C Drive failed for some reason. I'm beginning to
suspect that the culprit is actually my cousin, who
visits sometime in the late winter/early spring every
year, and he loves to play around with my computer. I
hate to say it, but if he visited the same set of
websites both this year and last, then I would find
the reason for my troubles!

At any rate, give everyone my best. I'll be back the
boards soon.

Thanks a ton,
Devrous
"

As you can see, he's pretty much alive, as well as the MOD.

Huzzah!

He must of all be dead if he's gotten a catastrophic hard drive failure twice in two years. :shaking:

Re: What do you think is happening?
To be honest I don't know how I would live if I were Devrous. No internet? All passwords gone? Hell, that's just terrifying.

Generally uberclocking cards can do that.

Re: What do you think is happening?
Oh, it's possible. I once had a password which was 25 characters long. It started with 2$4#%j&Km (or similar), then goes on in the same fashion for the rest of the 16 characters. The only way I remembered it was through a small piece of paper which I hid in my room. I lost the paper when I was moving out and couldn't be bothered to retrieve the password.

I've got one kind of like that, but I remember it.  :p

Did anyone ask him for an update on project status?
How much more have he done since we last see him?
Is he going to release a demo?
