I bring you good news! He is still very much alive, I just discovered that he recently created a new account by the name of billmonroe29 that has been active for about a week now.
That's someone posting, pretending to be Bill. For whatever reason I can't say, but if you knew anything about Bill, he hated MLP and he was a horrible speller. Look at some of his posts from 2017, and check all the typos. Now look at the posts this guy made on the 2021 posts. You don't suddenly become a great speller, and Bill was never good at it, at least not on the net.
Most of the pics in his (Monroe29's) 'gallery' are re-treads from 45's gallery and favs. Yet if Bill didn't have access to his old 45 account, why not simply watch that account, and save some of his pix that way?
Also, Bill, the real deal, was very much enamored by a character Cammie, from the Infinity Chronicles. Talked about her all the time. Yet, I'm not in his watched list nor are any of my works in his favorites.
No, this isn't Bill. He has my contact info (email and such). If he were still around, still with us, he'd have reached out to me by now.
Lastly, Bill is very much a heterosexual man. Why does his new profile say 'They/Them'?
I see.... Thank you for clarifying that. That's truly a shame to hear.
