quack quixote is a moderator of SuperUser, and I realize that he's not been around quite a while. I checked his profile, and he was last seen on July 13th 2010 at 17:17. Does anyone (esp. the moderators) know what happened to him? Has he left Stack Exchange community? Will he be back someday?

He is in limbo and sorely missed! Nobody tagged quite like him... – Ivo Flipse♦ Feb 4 '11 at 19:56
I hope that he joins us soon :) – Sathya♦ Feb 5 '11 at 14:08
@Ivo Flipse, @Sathya: I also hope he joins us soon. – Mehper C. Palavuzlar Feb 5 '11 at 18:57
As the time in limbo goes a lot slower than here, it can happen any moment... – Tom Wijsman Feb 6 '11 at 3:45
Has anyone done the obvious and tried his email address? – Nifle Feb 6 '11 at 16:20

@Nifle: I have just sent him an email. I'll share his answer with you if he replies. – Mehper C. Palavuzlar Feb 6 '11 at 16:32

We are looking forward to hearing from you.

still alive, doing fine. i.... just don't login there anymore. no particular reason; guess i got a little burned out on it and wandered off elsewhere. oddly similar to how i wandered into SU in the first place.

the community's concern is touching. unnecessary, but touching. i hope the SU community is doing well; give my best to everyone in their endeavors.

for the record, no, i'm not the age on my profile; i never tell the truth when filling out internet profiles. and for some reason the system wouldn't let me put 1605 as my birth year. :p

May this serve as a reminder that too much of a good thing can still be bad. Don't kill yourselves my good mods and fellow dedicated members. There's always tomorrow. – KronoS Feb 7 '11 at 5:59

Super User burns through mods at an incredible rate. Pace yourselves, guys! – mmyers Feb 16 '11 at 17:06
