MickeyD has passed away

[genetic]

That was his nick since some trouble with MyBB and his employer. He's been here a while.

He joined as MickeyD, then changed to Mickey then to MCD, then back to MickeyD.

 

[JOEY_8]

Condolences to his family and friends.

Not really important but there were others that came before.

No.

McD was a later user/nick.

Other nicks were left to go quiet.

I have often thought about what happens to your online persona once you die. This is very surreal with people feeling personally sad about a person that they have never met irl.

This must be a growing phenomenon.

I think that this shows that you can emotionally touch a lot of random people without physically have contact with them.

One great man has left us. RIP

It's not a new phenomenon though. People have had emotional connections to their favorite bands, movie stars and TV personalities for decades without ever interacting with them.

At least on this level, our interaction with him was more personal.

I second this. The most permanent infraction in MyBB's history.

I agree, but my point is that he was not a well known brand outside of the forum. Just another normal guy speaking *** with us.

Wrong. He was very involved in his community in PE.

No, I am not speaking about real life, I am speaking about the online community. Most of us respected and enjoyed his banter but did not not know him.

Make no mistake, it was cold..... a late winter kinda coldness.....

The Moose had just finished his shift across the road at the local Spar, The mist crushing down on the isolated town for at least the past three hours....... The Darkness entrenching her morbid cloak apon the township, the once warm surrounding desert dunes embracing her dark and cold wrap.......

The fire down at the local bowling club had been good, the meat cremated to perfection by the local braaimaster, the surrounding nightly sprayer clicking away in the dark night, ejecting her life giving vapor towards the yellow grass....

Moose, he stood there, alone whilst the duo's conversed......... ice cold Windhoek draught clasped between his shivering fingers, he stood and once again, as he had during multiple times this day, he raised his damp glass towards the South East Sky and recalled his friend he never met....

 

[biometrics]

good one

 

[bokka1]

That says it all: The friend I never met.

A sad day indeed.

All in favour, say I!

Guy helped me with some Telkom issues, never met him and yet sadness over hearing this. Gentle rest to you sir, thanks for being a gent.

Condolences and peace to his family.
