Wondering about a TF member

Trapper7

Loves VFT's!
There was a member on here, I'm not sure but I think his screen name was Copper. Under his AV it said "Copperhead snake bitten boy". He was bit by a copperhead, I don't know when, but I'm just wondering what happened to him, I have not seen him on here and he used to come here all the time. Anybody know what happened to him? I think his name was Noel but i could be totally wrong about that too.

Wasn't that Noah/PondBoy? Not sure what became of him - he was away for a long time, then back for a while, and now I haven't seen anything of him recently. Copper is someone different.

Yes that was Pondboy. I haven't heard from him in a while.

Probably just lost interest.

Where's copper? She's the only officer I ever liked

I had been wondering about Pondboy too because I don't think he was doing that well when he disappeared.  I've hoped that his interests led him elsewhere.  Since his mother had been posting for him when he was hospitalized before, she might have done it again if he were having problems.  I hope he's OK.
 
I believe it was an intestinal problem induced by the snakebite.

Chron's disease or something like that.
 
Yes Pondboy, that's it! Last I heard he was not doing well and that's why I was wondering where he was cause I was just curious how he was doing. Pondboy where are you??

Pondboy's real name is Noah. A different person than our forum member Noah.

Pondboy was bitten by a copperhead and many months later became seriously ill with a number of internal problems. He lost a lot of weight and had to have a feeding tube put in. He was away for a long time while hospitalized (many weeks); his mom would come by and update us. Many of us sent him cards and presents and donated money. Then he came back briefly and seemed to be doing much better. He posted a bit and disappeared again. I wish he'd come back. Hopefully he is just busy with life and not ill again. He was an active member for a long time prior to his illness.
 
Oh man I remember sending him video games when he was hospitalized lol. He sent me a thank-you and a little drawing of a Nepenthes.

Sounds so sad...

I didn't know him (I'm a relatively new member), but I sure hope he's doing okay. Coming down with internal problems from a snake bite sounds horrible.
 
Hope he is doing well and just moved on from cp's. I have a lot of respect for him, a very positive and strong willed kid for what he was/is dealing with.
 
Thanks for that PAK, I never really knew the whole story, I hope he's ok though.

JLAP that was really nice of you
