I propose we give him a bit more time, Life Happens… and if he doesn’t reply soon we burn him at the stake for yoyo heresy… oh. Ooops That’s not what I ment to say. What I ment to say, is if he doesn’t reply soon, I’ll volunteer to do some digging and pitch one in to keep the thread alive if there’s still interest. I love these pay-it-forwards, and I hate when they get stalled out! ---

That “String Fling” sounded like a nightmare… I’m glad I was lurking in the shadows and not attempting to twist threads until callouses consumed my fingertips. Honestly, everyone who sent in strings should have sent the guy bills or invoices in the mail. I doubt he would have paid them, but hey, at least the guilt may have stacked up. 🤣 ---

@MattB should have his physical address, but if someone can figure out his PayPal address it would be funny to send a money request for the value of the Silenus. Does he have any transactions on the BST forum? Ivan ---

He’s been a forum member since ‘09, which would lead me to believe there’s a reasonable explanation for his absence. I mean, with all the curses we put on this yoyo, I sure wouldn’t want to be the one to end the chain. ---

hey all, sorry for the radio silence, i really dropped the ball on this. first off i want to say that i sincerely appreciate all of the concern, it is very touching. i don’t want to delve into the details of the personal issues i’ve been dealing with but the tl;dr is i spent january coping with them in a very unhealthy way which has resulted in me beginning the process of moving cross country to be closer to family; to say the least yo-yoing/forums/the silenus has not been in the forefront of my mind and i kept putting dealing with the silenus on the backburner. the more i procrastinated dealing with it the more anxious i became dealing with it, snowballing into the situation here. regardless of the personal circumstances that lead to me holding onto it for longer than intended, i did make sure to ship the silenus + everything in the box to my family though, so i am ready to send it out to the next person who posts “I’ll take it” immediately. to try and help make amends for messing up this for i will also be including a pay-it-forward yo-yo of my own for people to pass around. i hope it helps make things fun again and brings more joy to this forum as it and the yoyo community has brought me countless joy over the last 15 ½ years. thank you all, sorry for making this fun idea not fun and worrying for people. here’s the message from the rules, my deepest apologies for my “month” being more like 2.5. > [@](#): > > Well, my month with the Silenus is nearly up so it’s time to send it along to the next lucky player! > > Here are the rules so you don’t have to scroll up the thread: > > I’ll send the Silenus to the next person to post “I’ll take it” here in this thread! (DMs don’t count, it’s gotta be posted in the thread to keep everything fair.) Contiguous 48 U.S. states only please. > > HOWEVER, by accepting the yoyo, you are only allowed to keep it for about a month and then will be responsible for posting a post similar to this one, in this thread, and also for shipping the Silenus on to it’s next destination. > > So let’s get the next stage of the Silenus’s travel rolling! An eternal curse on the player who breaks the chain! ---

Totally respect the honesty. Keep your head up and push through hard times.

Because this is the Silenus thread I have an opinion question for all of you fans out there… and perhaps this deserves its own thread, but… I’m not big on owning duplicates, however I’m thinking about buying a second Silenus second hand. Mostly because I’m worried they might stop releasing the Silenus. I haven’t seen any instock anywhere for awhile… Has anyone seen any signs of this? ---

I’d just ask ‘em via direct message on [instagram](https://www.instagram.com/topyo_official/). I’ve heard they’re a manufacturer/machine shop for other companies’ as well as their own products, so it seems unlikely they’ll stop making one of their popular designs. ---
