I saw on IPIHB that Zork is no longer with us for real and got to thinking about posters who've vanished vs those who reincarnate vs those who died. Seems like most of us who've been around for more than one iteration of these boards know enough people IRL where if we got the GreatPermaban in the Sky we'd know it but it seems like there's no consensus on where to put the announcement. For example I did not know that Zork took his own life a while back -- the announcement is in IPIHB which for whatever reason I don't frequent as much as I should. 

(Generally when I am mood the for porn, I go straight there.)

I also found about the death of really long ago poster NickDanger on this board from someone who knew him towards the end. That was not a pleasant story either...but none will be for a few more decades when some idiots might say of us that we spent our lives well. 

And lord know we are getting old, lol...So I am starting this thread as a place for us to share the posters we've lost for good, for real, from the past (I didn't even know about Soul Glo for a long time after) and the future..

 

Nick was a good guy, and yeah, his passing was horrible.  His family treated him like shit towards the end, with his wife telling him she hoped he die sooner rather than later.

Wholly shit Batman...

I didn't know about Soul Glo, but do remember the name and his being a fun poster.  What happened?  RIP.

Yeah.  He had kids in High School and PM'd me asking about a couple of Cali schools.  I gave him my thoughts, and, knowing he'd been sick and probably hadn't done a lot of lawyering, invited he and his family to stay at my place.  I have/had a big house with an empty 2 bed 2 bath"wing".  That's when he told me that he wasn't invited on the kid's college trip and spilled his guts about the whole deal.  It was awful. 

It was liver disease, IIRC.   Just shitty.  I never met the dude IRL as far as I know.  I had met quite a few posters because I used to do all the cali tailgates with hornfans.  I'm sure more than a few of y'all have had a cold one that was hauled to Pasadena or The Murph in my horse trailer.  I did all the Holiday Bowls and both Rose Bowl games with Robert and Katy.

I actually worked with him a little over 10 years ago and I had no idea that he had passed. I would also be curious to know what happened.

Charles Haley avatar.  great poster.

RIP Soul Glo

He certainly was. Damn.

Can anyone confirm that Soul Glo really did pass away in real life?  I'm pretty sure he knew some of Dallas Shaggy/Surly IRL.

Can confirm Soul Glo was alive earlier this week via a friend in common.

edit:  as of the past 5 minutes as well.

Welp seems that’s settled.

Are you sure?

Has anyone heard from Machinator? I saw he went away for a while in fall of 2019, then came back a few months later, then went awol again. 

Saw elsewhere on the board that Bash Riprock has passed on.

Where did you see it?

Damn, that sucks.

Damn, that is way too young.  Rip Bash.  He was always a solid poster going back to the Shaggy days.

Yeah, he was a good dude.  By his own posts, he had fallen off the wagon not long ago, but gotten back on and was doing alright.

It was a bit of a shocker.

I never liked Bash. I thought he was a terrible poster. As well as a Tech fan. 

That doesn't really matter, though. This is just a fucking message board at the end of the day. Bash struggled with an affliction that I struggle with myself. I don't know how he died but I know he didn't die a coward - he tried to address his issues and it was documented here. Our disease kills many. 

I hope he's at peace. He deserves it. A lot of us wish it at younger ages than he went. Maybe myself included. 

Just a pro tip for everyone: send a couple pms. Surly can be a hostile place but get to know some of these assholes and it isn't so bad. Myself included. There are always folks here willing to listen to your shit and help you out.

Machinator is alive. He's just stepped away because Texas isn't good for one's mental health.

And I think this place helps with that.  YMMV

Tried to call Diablo tonight and when his phone went immediately to VM I got a chill, then hit up the Waco Obits.

https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/name/mark-terry-obituary?id=32396700

back when he was the somewhat deranged unklphucker on TOS he was a bad alcoholic. He eventually got sober a few years back and his posting quality improved accordingly.  I'd stop in and visit with him and we'd do dinner or starbucks, he was a really good natured man.

Prince of a guy in his latter years.  Just listened to his outgoing voice mail greeting a few times.  I'll miss you buddy.

Shit. 61 is way too young. RIP to one of ours.

RIP Diablo. He had picked up photography and was a regular contributor to the photo thread. Sorry to hear that he is gone.

Very sad.  He was certainly less annoying when he came back as Diablo and brought a lot more positivity and wisdom to the board.  God's peace.

Damn..RIP Diablo.  It seems like we are losing too many of us lately. 

Oh son of a bitch. He was actually a pretty good poster as Diablo. Sorry to hear this. RIP.

Wow, I'm a bit late on the news. I met him in person a couple of years ago when was getting into photography, and have spoken on the phone with him several times. He was a super nice guy and I'm glad to have known him. Really sucks he's gone. I have been wondering in recent weeks why I hadn't seen him around the board in the usual places.

My contacts list is taking a major hit in the last couple of years. Damn...

I know, right?

Not sure if he ever posted on sicem365 but I first encountered him on the old baylorfans. If its appropriate, would you let any interested people know? @DougO

Son of a bitch.  I really enjoyed Diablo.  I was hoping all of us Waco Surls could meet up sometime after covid and hang out.  I enjoyed his posts. He seemed like a good guy.

RIP Diablo.

 

He was a good one. I really enjoyed him, he was full of substance and a light. I’m miss him.

I’m not ready for you assholes to start dropping on me. Truth be known I’ve known a lot of you since I was 21 when I first logged on in the UGL to the world of sports message boards.  Now I’m 46 so that’s 25 years. Good grief. I’ve had not one single friend longer than I’ve known some of you. Some I have known that long though from college. God’s fly swatter isn’t kind to us on this earth and I’m simply not ready for y’all to start dropping like flies.

I didn't know him from the other boards, just met through here before we met in person. I'll have to investigate and see if I can figure out what his user name was there.

The one local friend I spent time with regularly died a little over year ago. I have a few friends I visit with occasionally, but message boards and facebook are pretty much my whole social life now. I guess it's good at least we have this stuff, or it really would be even worse...or I'd have to start hanging around in bars again like I was 22 and be that old fart that everybody's wondering who drug him in.

MARCO. And you were DiaDelDougO right?

Yeah. I never knew he was Marco. I don't think he posted much at 365 if at all.

Very sorry for your loss. It's hard to make friends as an adult, but try finding a facebook group that does regular meetups. There's one for every niche. I'm in a barbecue group with a few hundred people, we do a meetup (meatup) once a month. Grows every month, lots of guys bring buddies from their III percenter and Blue Flag groups (police and army wives) so we often get free stuff added on because we have a lot of cops. They're all generally cool guys, some short fuses (mostly the cosplay guys who have never seen urban combat) but most of us are retired and don't get too rowdy anymore. (I'm not retired, I just get lonely sometimes!) My wife is also dead
