I finally heard back from her. Here is the message she sent me:
Hi Tim, sorry for the long absence. But, I'm not good at all. And have run into not-so-great times for the past eight months.
First off, my internet service provider had gotten me banned and into big trouble for trying to stream CW shows off their app and get shows through other means. I was in tears, and really worried I'd get a big fine which would have been 5 grand. Instead, my net had been cut off for six whole months instead of paying a fine. Which included no smartphone access. It got restored back in May.
So now looks like I'm going to have to cave in and stream to watch shows (hate the idea, but it's the only way to catch up on the CW shows, as don't want to get banned again for finding other ways to watch them. Wish Geo-blocking wasn't a thing). But the good news is my family has given me some streaming vouchers up to 300 dollars (to cheer me up in my difficult times) to keep me going for the next two years, so I won't need a credit card or payment to watch, I can enjoy them. So I can catch up on quite a few of them that are on the service, including Walker, Superman and Lois, and Titans (starting next month).
But to top it off, the pandemic and lockdowns have made me depressed, as I lost one of my closest friends to suicide because of the lockdowns. While having another relationship my now ex is beyond repair due to them being pro-anti-vaxxer and telling me if I get the vaccine (which I have now with Pfizer), I can go to hell and join the rest of the insane people taking the shots which will kill me in five years and give me cancer or other side effects.
It's why I haven't been in the mood to talk to anybody or reply to any messages in email even when I got my net restored and the cut-off lifted back in May. I'm not in the mood.
But I felt you had the right to know and pass this along to the forum.
When I feel better, I'll come back to the forum. I think I'm getting there Tim. I've taken the first steps communicating with people through email and text message these past two weeks.

I'm glad she's okay. But it sounds like she's had a rough time. She lost a friend to suicide, thanks to the lockdowns and another, because they refuse to be vaccinated and ended their relationship with her because she did.
And she lost Net access for months because of trying to stream shows (truth be told, I really don't understand much about that stuff). That explains her sudden disappearance.
Hopefully, things will get better for her.
