I only know people by their avatar. If you change your avatar I assume you died.

Ditto, it messes with me when people change their avatar. In this thread we got, black kid, camel, fat nazi, crazy bitch etc.

Ironwing and Magnus both used the same avatar for long time, and now I can never remember which is which. It doesn't help that they're both old bastards... I think.

Cool then I can just change my avatar and be like a noob and no one would ever suspect a thing.

lol posts in this thread.

There are several here that I know, from a far, that I'm pretty happy to give some rations of shit. So if they get a break in their "cloud walking lives", they might call.

Or not.

I will still be trying how to figure out how to give them shit.

In the event of my passing, I'll bequeath whatever the main PC I own at the time to a deserving forum member here. This includes the software and the hardware.

If I die I'm going to come back and haunt ATOT!

In a few cases in other forums the children have posted notices using the deceased's account. And in one case someone found a news article of a crash and we put the pieces together. This one has so many members that it just feels like the first day of high school or college to me though - just an overwhelming amount of people!

If news of my demise was most prevalent on FB, then it was probably a suicide. Not that there is anything wrong with Facebook, but to imply it is more personal than any other internet based fan club is ridiculous.

when i die
i hope that ATOT builds me a funeral pyre

print out my best pomes on quality paper (the resume kind)
crumple and shape them in an effigy of me

set it in your backyard
and proudly burn it in my memory

just in case anyone forgot, you're not off the hook for this

When I die, I trust ATOT to delete all my pr0n. I'm counting on you guys...

we're just going to hijack your account like that dude did with T9D's account, and post hotlinks to the stash within every single post you ever made here.
