I, too, was one of those who followed and interacted with Aaron, Graydon, and Tommy...and they happened to cross my mind this evening. And that's how I ended up in this thread.
They really did just disappear from the web at some point! I managed to find this link which I think is a copy of Aaron's old website...though with his name scrubbed and replaced by "Owen Orson Ovide". I seem to recall the original site having much more content but this snippet seems like it was probably authentic before it was changed:

Assuming any of what Aaron said was true, his parents were extremely wealthy...and bought him a 1997 Dodge Viper as a graduation gift. If that was high school, then that would put him at about 44 years old in 2023.
I did run across that "other" Aaron Audette pictured above...but if the original Aaron was as wealthy as he claimed, then I'd kinda doubt that the "other" one is him.
Nothing on Graydon Locke either. Nothing.
Tommy had a blog up until 2018 it would seem but that's gone now too; I probably talked to him more than anyone and we even exchanged gifts by mail once. I think I ran across his current info a few years back, but now can't find it again.
And I do remember lusting after "Troy's Homepage" at some point, too...so hello to
@kidboodah!
