I was looking through the letters archive and his book, and noticed that all his baits are from 2002-2007 roughly.

Why did he suddenly stop baiting? Just curious if anyone has a definite answer why...

@bware (she's bound to read this, she has in-built leet detection), can we ban the forum software for leeting?

Hi Simon,

Shiver retired from baiting in 2008. https://forum.419eater.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=128271

A bit off-topic but ironically I only approx 15 miles from Shiver.

Thanks very much Ima!

Still a pity he stopped though Sad

Meh, I can't quite trace shiver's accent. sounds Mancunian to me but that's coming from a Bermudan , so...

Hello folks!

Glad that some people are noticing I'm not around so much! Everything is great at the moment.

To answer your question, Simon Templar; it was pretty much R/L work commitments that made me give up the baiting. Looking back, I was dedicating a hell of a lot of time to it (far too much if I'm honest) and as a new business venture started to take off, the decision to stop baiting was pretty much the only thing to do.

I do keep popping in fairly regularly to see how things are going. I'm so proud of the team and the people here and how things are still going really strong.

@Shiver- I was looking at buying your book and I was wondering, the baits in it are they only the ones from the letterd archive or are there more?

They are basically paper versions of some of the ones from the letters archive. Unless you want something portable, then stick with the online versions. Of course, you can have the best of both worlds if you read the letters archive on a tablet. Smile

Shiver, thank you for making this all possible. I have had so much fun, learned a lot about African geography, and get to hang out with the nices people I will most likely never meet.

Remain bless.

GASP!! I've heard rumors of Shiver sightings and now here is one!

Our hats are off to you, Shiver! Thank you for enabling the greatest RL diversion we'll ever know Cool

<-- In the same thread as a legend..

Oh my god. Shivers replied to my thread Shocked

Life is now complete!

Feeling really chuffed I can make out a Manc accent, thanks Moleman Cool

Thanks for the explanation anyway SMT, and best of luck with your real life commitments! Two quick questions - was there anything in particular which inspired you to start eater? As in was there something that made you think "I could have a lot of fun doing this"? Or was it just divine inspiration?

Also, I was reading your Martins Davis scam, where you got a con artist to meet you in Scotland. Sadly, the video is missing, but I was wondering - in the scam davis gives you an address he claims to be that of fellow criminal Peter Jones. Did you ever discover if the details really were those of the criminal?

Ohhhhh, my -- What Kitty said -- "GASP -- 'Tis HE !!!"

Sir Shiver, if you should pop back in today please know that I am so heartily thrilled to have met you!

Thank you for setting the sterling example and for creating this quirky place where we can congregate -- with whatever secret or not-so-secret motivations upon our hearts --
to support each other as we intercede to stand between the innocents and the scum of the earth who desire to harm them.

You did this for us and to us, Your Honor -- and we thank you. Godspeed in all that you do -- Peace and Love.

It might be a while before he calls in again, what a coincidence you made this thread on the day of one of Shiver's visits.

ETA: Speak of the Devil he's here now.

Shiver, We keep sending cakes with the requested iron supplement in them, are you not receiving them?

@Paranoid- in Manchester we have Strangeways prison( UK, not New Hampshire), if he's in prison he'll be there Smile

. After the riots, security was severely stepped up;

You could always safari a lad with the supplement in Wink
