Yes! I can't seem to find the thread, but someone posted news of his death in OT.

I think there was one guy who died on 9/11.

If you are talking about HawkeyeNJ it was actually confirmed he was NOT William Cashman

I remember there was quite the investigative thread on that awhile back. Some people were for determining if he had passed on and some saw it as an invasion of privacy.

Denis cropped a picture of a soft porn star to use as Nowheremom's picture on the site - leading to the frankly hilarious confession by another member that he had seen others pictures of "Nowheremom" in porn mags but was worried about getting flamed if he mentioned this on the site.

BUAHAHAHA :D

Pic of nowheremom :p

I remember nowheremom and that guy who said he was some commando in Afghanistan supposedly "dying".

I bring this up because a prominent member of another forum I frequent was killed in an accident a month ago.

I was wondering if anyone here might have died.

Do you remember what happened to this person?

No one figured out the name Lili Marlene?

As in "Lilly of the Lamplight"?

I guess that's why none of us are busy winning every night on jeopardy...

Yes, Soccerman is the only one that I know of. It was like two years ago... RIP man. :(

However, I don't know exactly what happened to HawkeyeNJ either. I thought he was a pretty frequent visitor, not sure if he just decided to stop going here or what.

I had forgotten all about him (well, it has been 2 years and we tend to remember the more sensationalized things). After reading my post in that thread, I remember talking to him rather regularly on ICQ

I never knew Michael Vickers (Soccerman) but he seemed like a great guy. The outpouring of support from ATOT was tremendous and was really touching.

There was a thread last month about the guy that was hit on the motorcycle and messed up pretty bad. He was a member here. He killed himself last month.

Nope, the vast majority of the people here have absolutely no life to begin with, making it impossible to lose their life. To die you have to have lived and sitting in your room neffing up your post count so that other lamers think you're important isn't living.

I've actually thought about this before. If I died, I would want someone to tell everybody here..

Not that I think any of you assholes would care, but.. still. :p
