If I recall correctly he did show up in February at some time. There was also a question in the Editorial #240:

Just curious, but what's going on with Punchbag Sid? I've asked around and no one has seen him in the battledome since a couple days after you released the avatar for him. Is this a retired avatar? If not, could you please put him back into the battledome soon? ~charmedinnocent
Actually he has been released several times since then. It's just that he only comes out at completely random times and in short durations. You'll have to be quick if you want to catch him.
So I think he's showing up more often than people realise when they consider what they remember.
There's also a Board in the Battledome section of this Forum that was trying to track him for awhile:

Its probably not a
huge help but it shows that he can show up regularly for awhile.
