I am really missing my NewMogul :S.

If I were to guess he is probably just too busy to go through email, and doesn't know NewMogul is down. If anyone knows him personally please call him and let him know.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

They outed him, too, and discovered his real name to be Nicholas B-something.

I thought nickb was a pseudonym as well. There was a conversation wherein one of the HN biggies hinted he was a well-known tech person who didn't want his name getting in the way of conversation. I could be misremembering, though.

nickb is not a pseudonym.

He hasn't commented on HN in 48 days.

From NM's whois, he's based in Ottawa, Canada (there's an exact address in fact). Someone who lives nearby can check in with Prakash or Miles and then do some knocking or doorbelling.

I've met him (in Ottawa). He hasn't responded to emails since early July. That address is a multi-unit building.

I don't see that it's really appropriate for me to go knock on his door though. There is a thing called privacy and he does have family.
