She can be reached on Facebook by her friends, but appears to have stopped posting on forum sites.

With all the hostility on most Amiga forums, I can understand why she might have gotten tired of participating.  I wish that were not true, and maybe she has other reasons for being absent, but I know many members who have left for exactly those reasons.
How are you helping the Amiga community? :)

She is probably having a break from Amiga. Perhaps she will return in the future.

IMO it is a slow period at the moment. When some new hardware comes out things will get exciting again.

Have you tried english amiga board?

I don't think Cammy posts in forums because Cammy is only a video game character.

Yes meny people left some forums because the actual amiga "comunity" sucks (theres many cool users).

You talk about hostility when you are a moderator in many forums.... if you see real hostility moderate them, uncensured or i-close-this-thread-because-im-worth.

Just a comment nothing personal.

I think forums like this are inherently a format for misunderstanding.  You can't use other senses to derive the real intent of the poster.  When a person feels misunderstood, it's easy to decide it isn't worth the time.

Cammy and others will be missed.  I hope they give us another chance.

Cammy is definitely real (AND really cute).
But she, like most of us, goes through phases.
As with most really intelligent people, occasionally a little malaise sets in, and its best to leave her alone.
If she feels like gracing us, I'm sure she will.

Cammy has been suffering from depression for a few years now. She kinda had a breakdown around the time she ran the first Amiga game making competition on her own while trying to support too many others at the same time. The problem is she's too nice and sensitive for her own good, and takes any critique or criticism to heart. She can't ask anyone for help and insists on doing everything herself even when she's barely capable. She used to have so much enthusiasm and life in her, but she's become a shadow of her former self.
Amiga user forever.

That is very sad to hear.  She helped so many people here.  Her posts were always very thorough, in-depth, and accurate.

She will be in my prayers.

That is too bad to hear - she's one of the nicest forum posters I've met, and very passionate about the Amiga community. Hope things get better for her.

I hope she manages to recover.
