OK, the whois information from theteahouse gives the owner as "Daniellle Mangelsdorff". The email address derek uses on his newsgroup posts is dmangels @ bigpond.net.au

Googling for dmangels turns up a "Dave Mangelsdorff", at the email address dmangels@txdirect.net.

The thing is, Dave Mangelsdorff is listed as "class of '67" on http://www.dartmouth.org/classes/67/email.htm which would make him at least 50/60, and we're lookin for someone his 30s, so i think it may just be somone who allowed him to use their webspace. Also, dave mengelstorff lives in the USA, as given http://www.txdirect.net/users/dmangels/ <-- there, and doesnt mention anything about coding.

I must say, this is all very circuitous and confusing.

I think dmangels stands for Danielle Mangelsdorf. Googling after "Danielle Mangelsdorf" gives out something interesting, too.

Sounds a bit like Danielle was involved in developing Yeti3D?

EDIT: Derek also posted there, but the last post is from Sat May 22 01:13:27 CDT 2004.
 
Something different I found out:

Derek has a sourceforge-profile (http://sourceforge.net/users/deadeye00/) which includes an e-mail adress and says he is a member of the project "MegaMek". Maybe someone could contact the developers of MegaMek for infos? (http://megamek.sourceforge.net/idx.php?pg=contact)

I don't mean to be negative but is there any way to search a local newspaper for the necrologics of the past years?
 
Yes, everything looks like he's dead. Did you try to contact Danielle, Craig?

Just in case Derek is dead, who has the rights of the source now?
 
I have sent an email yes, it is best several of us do so, incase mine is missed as spam or such.

It is getting pretty weird, i wonder who will make the break through and get some firm info on Derek... is it too soon for a seance?
 
Another option is to hijack a huge site like yahoo and change the main page into some thing like "WHERE ARE YOU DEREK EVANS?" :lol:

ohh and aapje89 in your sig I still havent figured out why no one responds to me. :eek:
