Pretty sure it's not that one, he never was "Mr self restraint".

Some time ago he mentioned a fire at a neighbors house, or in the neighborhood, and a link to the news article? I don't recall exactly. I suppose it'd be a little strange to figure it out then go knocking on doors in his neighborhood.
Knock, knock
(door opens)
Do you have any neighbors that grow their own grain and run it through a clothes dryer?

Don't think he grows own grain, but do recalling that he said he grew his own tobacco.
If he's gone much longer we can sends pictures of his beer belly to feed stores to see if anyone recognize him.

Hope Bracc is not involved in the canadian fires, he'd be in trouble for leaving the states under witsec I think. And I totally agree that while it might amuse him to essentially be looking in on his own funeral, he'd be unable to withhold comment.
Glad he’s around. He hasn’t posted in 2 years though.
No, not 2 years. Quick search says April 2nd 2023. So a little over 2 months.
Last post was 4/1/2021.
His profile indicates last login was 4/2/23
Oh **** sorry, my mention confused everything. Disregard, back to Brac. 
Hire any new farm hands recently?
If you see bracc, contact... bracc...
Reminds me of when I was in the fraternity and one of the drunk guys had someone sharpie on his skin "if found call [drunk guy's own phone number]"

OK, lets be fair here. That is one guy who would not be on a milk carton. Now if they started putting these notices on beer kegs, that would seem logical, although he wouldn't see it much, Not if he had homebrew left.

Bags of feed barley at Agway, guys. C'mon.

Heartens me to see all these posts. I just hope he's not lurking without posting, too embarrassed to come back (although I find that notion inconceivable). I did send him a DM back in early May, with my personal email address in case he didn't want to reply here. Still nothing, and yes I check my spam regularly. HBT just isn't the same.
Question: can't the mods send him a direct email? We all have to have an email address to have an account. This has probably been done already but I just thought of it.

The mods cannot see a member's email addr. Only the admins can do that (unless I have a power I haven't found yet.)

According to all TV and movie computer hacker tropes, you can, with very few keystrokes, turn on my toaster and reorder eggs, toothpaste, and Weyermann Barke Pils malt.

Is it possible that he's currently a ward of the state?

Fixed it for you..... Yeah, but that's what we love about him!

I dunno, he seemed pretty motivated to stay outta jail. I don't think he liked his previous trip(s) there.
Sounds like it could be the makings of an episode of Black Mirror.
I believe that wards of the state are sometimes allowed a limited amount of internet access, but sites that have anything to do with alcohol consumption are probably blocked. So we should all report any unexpected running of small appliances or deliveries of malt that we didn't order. Then we'll just have to crack the code that he's using to communicate with us.
Hopefully one of his neighbors reported his 6foot condenser and it was not the exploding liver thing he would occasionally mention.

I will not give up my sources, but I now know his real name. And his house is for sale as of about a week ago. It's listed with a realtor and does not state bank sale, so maybe he's just in the process of moving. Or he may have just been renting. Dunno, I'm rambling here. Why should I care about some rando on a forum I frequent? That I also do not know.
The dude was a posting fury when he vanished. Has to be more to the story than "he's moving"...
Cheers!

I also learned that "bracconiere" translates to "poacher" in english.
That's gotta be it, then. He sold his house and went afield to poach some deer, or antelope, or gila monsters, or whatever is running around in southern Arizona.
Does the house have a basement? Just seeing if we can eliminate any of Max's possible picks.
Don't forget septic tanks...
Cheers!

I know that bracc shared home malted grain with some people. I could be wrong, but I want to say @Jayjay1976 received some. I assume anyone who got that would have his name and address, which I'm sure the Marshals are thrilled about.
seatazzz, Jayjay, can either one of you, without doxing him, search for what might be his local newspapers, and see if his name has come up?
What are a group of people that get together daily to shoot the sh*t, discuss current events, share in a community activity, play games together, etc, etc?
Friends. And we care about our friends. Especially those that seem to not have much other community.
His name has not shown up in any local news sources
House for sale, and nothing in the papers... Maybe he really was in WitSec.

I know his name as well. I checked his city's news and arrest records a couple times for him, but didn't even think checking Zillow.
Likely he is just in between ISPs at the moment. Kinda surprised he didn't say anything about moving.
