I tried finding him on Facebook a while back. Even found an account of a person who’s profile said “I’m not defiant”
Which almost certainly sounded like someone who would be defiant.
Absolute legend !

Same here - I reached out but got no reply, and he hadn't been active there in a while.

Absolute legend. I can remember logging in and clicking the new posts button one morning just to see that he'd been the last one to reply to about 2-3 pages worth of threads, with the correct info in every single one.
I guess that's how you sit on 34k posts when you haven't even posted since 2009.

Missed interacting with this guy for a few years, but seems like a cool dude. Crazy that this site was obviously such a big part of his daily routine and then just vanishes.

What happened to him? He was a solid dude that helped me out a lot when I got into the car scene. Several direct messages and thread replies from him have helped me immensely. Thank you Defiant!

He didn't like my reminders to follow the rules that he was supposed to be enforcing. I gave him extra leeway, which some people didn't like too much.Me and him fought a lot

fb just sent me this and I reset my pw just to comment on this thread
I fought with him for a long time back in the day, then eventually got along. Used to hate dealing with him but low key always laughed how he would troll others. I was a 16 year old then who knew nothing but was an ass hat so probably deserved what I got a lot of the times

I was afraid to post when he was active, but definitely read everything he posted. 
Hope he's doing well!

Even those that weren't active at the same time as him, will still find him. I was seeing and laughing at his posts for at least a year before I joined the forums, and he wasn't active then either. I'm glad that stuff sticks around.

The guy played a big part in any forum he was on, i have a theory who he might be, but do not ask me who.

I met him in person once. That is him in the photo. I found him on FB many years ago but couldn't get a reply from him there either.

So, nobody knows his actual name or where he lived? Maybe at the north pole? Come on now.....somebody has to personally know him, right?

I found this, but no activity in over 8 years: Login to see the hidden content
Most recent post I could find from him online looks to be from 2019:

I think he might have disconnected from the internet and scrubbed his online footprint.

Or he might have passed on, he wasn't a spring chicken and it happens. I keep checking your other thread to see if I've crossed the rainbow bridge.

True. I thought about that and did some searches for that but came up empty. Not to say that it still couldn't have happened.
that made me chuckle Steve.Hopefully my wife never has to login here to share any sad news about me with you guys. She'd never figure out how to update that thread.

After reading a few threads today and others the past few, I really want Defiant back. I don't have the sense of humor or temperament to attempt fill his shoes. I may be better at coloring between the lines but I'll never be that funny.

you're not alone Steve. I'm sure quite a few others share that sentiment. He did have a way of being educational with his witty jabs a lot of the time.
