He haven't been active since 6th july
Changed his nick to ScummDead before leaving.




I surely hope he's not dead or anything.

Maybe he was just going somewhere, I don't think he's dead...
If he was dead he couldn't have changed his name and avatar, I think...

What's the problem ? He didn't post for just less than 10 days.

I just thought he was depressed and shot himself.


Gilbert, is it possible to post if he's dead? :P

As far as I remember, he had posted as that nick for several days already, and I don't think there're much interest in it (seeing it is probably just a joke) and it's only a few days (only time can tell), so I don't think it matters much bringing this up now.

....I was away for 10 days & no-one noticed......:P

I'm sure he's fine. Time will tell.

But I was reading old PMs, and suddenly I noticed that ScummBuddy was ScummDead.
Just got me thinking. :P


Time will tell, yeah.

He got me worried there for a sec...

Somebody (Jannar) is paranoid. :P

But seriously, I always thought about that stuff... What if one of us died... who would know? Like, what if Pumaman died...?! Or what if he just gave up and got depressed or got a girlfriend and decied to neglect AGS? Who would tell whether he is dead or not?

You know, sometime last year this kid I knew from the K&P (Klik & Play) days who I hadn't  talked to for a long while posted a suicide note in his online Journal, which set out one of my old ex-Klik buddies (who I do talk to) to make me confirm that it was indeed a suicide note. I ended up trying to call his real-life friend (who was a Klik person too and was actually like the first online person I ever called (through Dialpad, if anyone ever used that)... in 1999) and it turned out that the suicide guy actually called a friend to tell him that he was killing himself. Crazy stuff.

I did wonder, though.. what if online people only knew that he was killing himself? And that's what set me out to call to make sure that someone in real life knew.

That topic has come up before, netmonkey, and it's always an interesting topic of conversation. As for ScummBuddy, he PMed me the other day telling me he would be in Arizona for vacation or something until this coming Tuesday I believe. I will be doing the same from July 24th-August 7th, just in case anybody wanted to know.
Status: Trying to come up with some ideas...

People are going to have to start putting provisions for their 'online' friends into their wills:

Please post a message on the AGS Forums informing all my Adventure Friends that I have been killed by "The Pirates of Pestulon" and no longer have to worry about the walking deads ...

Because you're right ... how would we know if a member croaked?Ã,  Now I wonder if any of the folks that have disappeared from here actually died?Ã,  Remember Xadhoom?Ã,  (well I know he's not dead 'cause I talk with him occasionally over at deviantART) but how bout some others?

Hmm ... interesting topic ... discuss.

There are about 2000 members, the chances are somebody has died. I'm pessimistic, I know

I've thought about doing that before, actually.. not for a forum, but for several very good friends that I've known for years and only talked to through the internet. I guess I could make provisions for the forum too, but I doubt anyone would notice me being gone until someone mentioned Blender and someone else said it sucked and there was that awkward month where I didn't say anything about it.
Once I killed a man. His name was Mario, I think. His brother Luigi was upset at first, but adamant to continue on the adventure that they started together.

I already told Jess that if anything is to happen to me that she has to post about it on the forums...

and in the tech forum too

she agreed

Well I've just come back from being away for a month staying with my girlfriend. I didnt go on these forums at all in that time, and no one probably noticed but hey... I'm here now. I'm probably going to post a bit now cos I got uni on again and will always be on my computer. So yeah you'se better be ready...

Neole makes quick appearences every so often...mostly in her Quick Upload topic in the Critics Lounge.  I think her last appearence was Jun 29 or so....

When I go to approve the deletion of old members, it always throws up some names and I think "yeah, whatever happened to them?".

For example, who remembers:
Ed20
drHansson
ProgZmax
Maria
Pod
gamester
Inquisitor
squalman
J
RPG Creator
Roy Lazarovich
2ma2
Hudang
kikme
Greg Hurst

It's been over a year since any of those people posted. Blimey, time flies.


(Before anyone asks, "deletion of old members" means deleting anybody who had less than 10 posts and hasn't posted in the last 10 months).
