I had stitches in boxes. So I TTed backwards so I could have more time for an auction and he vanished. So if someone visits my town, will they still get him?
 
They may get him from your void, yeah. c: Or they might get another villager, if you had more than one person being voided.
 
Oh, I think you have to be careful when going backwards. If you go before the time you last played it'll count as a day forward, and I think that's what happened to you.
 
Aww- I'm sorry that happened to you!

Voiding is a tad unpredictable. You could try to let someone save him from the void, but there is a risk they will get someone else- especially if you usually void villagers.

And I believe it's possible for someone to miss out entirely on collecting a void, even when your void isn't empty. I'm not entirely sure since all I've seen has been anecdotal without any proof, but just a possibility to keep in mind.
c:
 
How many people does the void hold?

Some people think you can "clear your void" by visiting a town with 10 villagers, but others say this isn't the case.

I personally like to think so, so that could be a little bit of hope for you if you recently visited someone's town and they had 10 villagers.
c:
 
Carefully and in a clean bathroom. Remember to wipe front to back and not back to front. And remember not to strain.
 
How many people does the void hold?

Up to 16 past villagers. The game remembers the last 16 villagers who moved out of your town, but if a villager was adopted and moved to a new town the game would still remember them in your town, but they wouldn't be in your void.
 
Stalking this thread...anyways...Brief Explanation of the void:

A villager is put into the void when they aren't adopted.

I believe there is a max of 3 villagers in the void.

Your main street will fill up with the latest 16 move-outs (minus the void I believe) However, those villagers are not in the void.

Once you street pass someone/someone visiting your town/vice-versa it will clear your void - it is random who moves into the town that gets the voided villager.

It does clear the void when you visit someone who has 10 villagers.

If you don't have your wi-fi switch on and you know for sure that there is only one villager in your void most likely the next town you visit or whoever visits you that has >9 villagers they will get the voided villager. It has happened to me on several accounts when I clear my voids in my cycle towns.

Btw --> TT forward any amount of time will equal the amount of time traveled forward aka 3 days in the future = 3 days that have passed
TT backward 5 days into the past = 1 day that has passed. I can verify that.

Here is the in-detail explanation by someone else! Very useful.
