Need help finding an old friend- "storm-4570"
Hey everyone! So, when I was 13 years old, in 2017, I used to spend a lot of time in those PSN parties. There were several of those created by random guys that wanted to just hang out- people from all around the world. Some of them would turn on the microphone, but most would just text using the chat section of the party. School was pretty rough so I remember finding some peace in the Vita- from ages 12 to 13. So I meet this kid from somewhere in Portugal, who was around my age. He never told me his real name because he worried about his privacy, but I didn't care, and we conversed through texts. We used to text almost every single day, and we were very close– that was until he stopped texting me one day, on September 24th, 2017. I tried texting multiple users that I knew were his online friends, but no luck. Nobody had spoken to him in a long time. I kept sending him single line texts for the next several months in 2018 regularly, knowing he wouldn't see it but not giving up. It's obvious that he had lost access to his account, or his Vita. But I would imagine that he'd just log in using his phone or something (PSN messaging app was pretty popular back then). His last PSN activity seems to be on February 24th, 2018, but it just shows that he's now friends with another user, which I'm assuming is a case of them accepting his request. I'm attaching with this post a screenshot of our final conversation. I had been locked out of my account for several years and had just put the effort to log back in. Reading all these texts from the past is a surreal experience. If anyone knows this person, please let him know I've been looking for him. I know it's a long shot, but miracles do happen on the internet. And if it's you reading this, Storm, I kept trying to find you, buddy, for years. You weren't forgotten.
