Thanks for that info. I had seen that name on Reddit before and never knew about the site. Lots of good info there although I don't know who those people are.


Like @Thomas_Thumb had mentioned upthread "prolific posters and response generators such as BBS, Birdman7, Cassiecard and CGID just to name a few."

I learned a lot from them, still learning, and they have a lot to offer and do so wholeheartedly. Go check out CreditRebels...that's them....you'll like the vibe over there. 


+1.  There's a lot more to that story and the disappearing profiles, and I'm wondered how closely the recent changes in moderation are tied to what happend in that time frame.   We lost some great members then and I seriously doubt some of them will ever return.  


Well I hate it but I feel I should let y'all know that we recently lost Birdman7 Smiley Sad  I know a lot of you would want to know.  He passed away last week, it was an auto accident.  If any of you would like to leave condolence for his family please do visit his and web partner Cassie's site over at Credit Rebels.  His Credit Scoring Primer is available over there too.

Goodness, I just realized that it's been 10 days now since his passing.  His funeral was yesterday.

 

eta:  Oh @Jnbmom that is sad.  I didn't know of Breeze but I feel a sense of saddness.  I sometimes wonder what happened to certain peeps that no longer post.  Ppl we'd kid around with and then 'poof!' they're never to be heard from again.  You just never know unless family members let us know, like Birdman7's sister did with Cassie,  cuz we'd be scratching our heads.

In past pm's he had expressed how excited he was and looked forward to the camraderie with peeps such as yourself.  He was looking forward to invites going out after "polishing" the Primer and going Live.

 

eta:

If anyone would like to express sympathy to his family and all those that were fond of him and his works please do share. I know they will greatly appreciate it.  Cassie is working hard on opening a Birdman7 page on over at CreditRebels site for which you can post without having to join.  Everyone is invited and we need to give her a little more time to set it up.  It should be up and running sometime today.  She's had a lot on put on her this past week and is doing her best to accomodate all.

This is terribly sad news.  Birdman7 was a wealth of knowledge.

Yeah, He sure was.  He and Cassie developed some really cool tools for us to use for free, AAoA calculator for example. They did this for ppl like me.....hahaha!  🤪

Oh no!  How sad, @GApeachy.  Smiley Sad  But yes, I appreciate knowing.  I've seen some older profiles on the forums that disappeared suddenly and you just wonder what happened to them.  But it's always different with those with you had interacted.  He was an awesome member who contributed much more than his fair share to My Fico and Credit Rebels.
