Almost a decade ago, back when MSN Chat functioned, I was part of an online gaming group with a really great guy -- primary character name of Kalgaroth.  To make a very long story as short as I can:  MSN Chat tanked, then MSN "upgraded" their Groups service and the operating system on my then-only computer so they somehow became incompatible, and I lost almost all ability to connect with him.  (Or anybody, really.)  I emailed him a couple of times on Hotmail, but never really got any reply, and the friendship faded out of existence.

Crud happens, and I know it.  The man's a fantastic roleplayer, though; an inventive, vibrant plotter and scene-setter, and not given to Special Sue tricks.  Every once in a while, I wonder how he's doing, and wish him well.
