EPTGUUUUUUYS. I did it. I found Aerisky.
For those of you who don't know, Aerisky was a poster who registered not too long ago, but quickly accumulated over a thousand posts, averaging 50 posts a day and 300 a week. Holy fuck. However, not too long ago, he requested a permanent ban, and that confused the fuck out of everybody. No one I knew disliked him, and he didn't leave any explanation. So this is what went down.
My journey began after he messaged me on IRC explaining why he wanted to get permed. However, I was AFK at the time and didn't get the chance to respond:
[01:33] <Aerisky> ah i was sort of interested in whether anybody would remember me so i popped into the ABL thread ;P
[01:34] <Aerisky> just wanted to set the record straight (not that there really will be for me, but no harm in being honorably permed, if there is such a thing)
[01:34] <Aerisky> yes, it was completely by request
[01:35] <Aerisky> though interestingly enough i AM a pbu, otherwise it would be weird for a 2-week member to have so much knowledge of so many part of the forum hehe ;P
[01:35] <Aerisky> *so many parts
[01:36] <Aerisky> i quit before because i thought it was draining too much time, this time because i didn't feel like i belonged in the community, for various reasons
[01:38] <Aerisky> for instance in (http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=343038) defmatrixultra pointed out how bad my post history was and i replied, and i thought he misconstrued what i said ("My posts aren't meant to be amazing. They might be bad, and I could be unable to convince you they aren't." first statement true, second part half true, i said that might be bad and i admitted that i probably would be unable to convince him otherwise)
[01:38] <Aerisky> basically i just don't fit in, don't feel like anybody likes me here, sort of thing, so i just decided to quit TL for good this time instead of "get permed and come back later"
[01:38] <Aerisky> it was really fun though, enjoyed my time here
[01:38] <Aerisky> (mostly)
[01:39] <Aerisky> ANYWAY, didn't want to bombard you with stuff, just wanted to clear things up maybe
[01:40] <Aerisky> have a nice day yo ^^
[15:22] <CyDe> hey, are you still there?
[15:22] == No such nick: Aerisky
[15:32] == No such nick: Aerisky

[15:32] <CyDe> Aw fuck

For some reason, I felt a dire desire to find him and prove him wrong: tell him that he really did belong in this community. I couldn't leave him hangin'. So I went to google and typed in Aerisky. I didn't know much about him. In fact, the only thing I knew was that he liked classical music and that he was from the US. However, luckily I didn't need either of those facts.
I found his SoundCloud account of the same name. A while back I discovered this awesome program called APEXvj that "visualizes music" for you, and I had to create a SoundCloud account for that. So I messsaged him this:
Hey dude,
If you are the correct person, you sent me a message yesterday on IRC about why you decided to perm yourself on TL. Listen, everyone really does like you, and I want to talk to you more. Please be the same guy, respond if you see this. I just want to talk to you.

I don't know why I felt such urgency. But I did. It simply felt unjust for him to have this misconception that he didn't fit in. So then I waited. And waited. In all honesty, Aerisky drifted to the back of my mind. Until today. I got this message from him back:
Sup!
LOL at first I was like "WTF HOW DID HE FIND ME [I don't even use my soundcloud account really]" but then I just googled my name and google has it pretty high up for no reason =___= go figure.
But, um yeah, it is I! You don't have to speak as if I'm in danger of mortally wounding myself lol (though I guess a perm is sort of a TL suicide?) :O I dunno, I'm pretty sure you can't get unpermed anyway, no? I have missed TL a bit, not gonna lie. There is literally no other community of which I know that is, in general, as amazing.
Sorry for not responding sooner--I went to the ER with a collapsed lung on Friday and just got out today. Still feeling really nauseous from all of the painkillers ;__; I seriously couldn't make this up lol, terrible terrible timing attack (of pneumothorax).

VICTORY! SUCCESS! I found him. It was the same guy. I got the feeling, and probably rightly so, that I freaked him out a little. I guess I come on a little strong. So I responded with:
:D dude that is awesome that you are the same one. I know that the urgency is a little weird, but I just freaked out when I saw that you had written me a message and I didn't get the chance to respond. But really, everyone really does like you. I mean, if you really feel like it is unnecessarily sucking up time, but if your main reason for leaving was feeling like people didn't like you, don't worry. We talked about you in IRC, everyone was unhappy to see you go. I think you could talk to a mod, or I could talk to a mod, to get you unbanned. Really.
And I am really sorry to hear that about your collapsed lung. That sucks. How exactly does that happen? I know that Cr1tik4l on YouTube had one at one point as well, I heard it's not easy. Feel better! <3

Mere minutes later, he came back with:
Ah people really did? ^^;; Hm I guess I'll respectfully go ask a mod then ><
The collapsed lung was entirely spontaneous lol, absolutely no trauma/injury/etc etc...but I'm all better now thanks :D
Yeah I feel like TL...is something I'll never truly grow out of--for better or for worse (hope for the former hehe). I've been through a lot of sites and games and what have you, but I think the simple community (for lack of a better word) is just OP, it's something you don't just grow out of c:
Thanks again, I'll go beg for a commute or a pardon~

YEEEEEEEES, I DID IT, I SAVED HIM FROM HIMSELF.
If any mods see this, I am formally requesting on Aerisky's part that he be reintroduced into the community. I don't know if it possible. But I really hope so.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES <3

fwiw I denounce everything I ever posted except for that one bit regarding Federer in the Roland Garros 2011 thread, even though there were some typos and maybe a few parts that could have been included or done better.
