If I had to guess he either set up a small elite pay SE site or he has done so well over the years he's semi retired. From reading a lot of his blog and posts and catching certain things he says that I remembered I am fairly certain he is one of the older SE's out there in the 40-45 year old range. Not too much older than me.
Maybe he's just taking a break like I have to do now every few months. Refunding tires me out faster than it did a few years ago and takes up more of my time and I don't even work and haven't in 20 years.
Hoping the best for him. He was the reason I kept coming back to this forum.
He's a great mentor and had zero ego for such a knowledgeable person.
Usually he logs in every 2-3 days and it's been about 2 weeks. No explanation owed if he is just taking a break, although it is bizarre he disappeared right before the site's birthday. While I don't think he's in a situation of duress, I do believe something happened to him.

What was the URL to his blog? I have seen some on this website saying you can check out the blog on the wayback machine.

Something's up
I imagine legal action has caused his silence if he's just not on vacation

I am certain Mothered would have informed Oni if he was just going away on vacation.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think this site was hacked or SQL injected, as it has some redirect ads on it. I dealt with similar issues in the past.
It sucks that you don't even have a method of contact for him, no discord or email or anything?
