When I played WoW a member of the RP community died, so there was a march organized and we had about 150 people gather to speak about him
If I died, probably none of you would know, because none of my friends really post on this, some lurk, but I'm the only real poster.
I love how the OP is ignoring everyone who is asking who it was.
I asked him who that was, he PM'd and told me. But since the OP obviously doesn't want everyone to know who exactly that was then I wont tell you
If an incredibly unliked Facepunch member died, would anyone care?
[QUOTE=Redskins1234;21669061]Ya, I used to be hugely worried about this when I was younger. Even today, I toy with the idea of leaving all my usernames and passwords I've ever used, and telling my parents to go to every favourite I have and make a post or something saying I died.
I mean, to me it's just depressing. On Steam mostly, I know atleast 20 people really well, and what if one day I died, but they would have no way of knowing. All they would see is "Redskins, Last Sign In: 1 month ago" and they would be "Where the hell is he". It goes vice versa, what if a friend who frequents Steam often, is suddenly gone for a month, did he die? Lost his computer? Or is he just to busy to play games.[/QUOTE]
Get a server or VPS or something that will automatically make such posts if you, for example, don't send it an email every week.
It's not HV is it?
Just to clarify: The user in question is [i]not[/i] on Facepunch. Thank you all for the hearts, I'm sure the others appreciate your concern.
Who are the people that rate funny?

That's just crossing the line. Jesus Christ, it's a video game over the Internet. Not that important if someone dies.
[QUOTE=bobste;21665283]when i die I want someone to update my facebook status to "dead"[/QUOTE]
I'd prefer "is coming back for that $10 you owe me, asshole. You know who you are."
Every account has a hidden algorithm that gathers and processes information about your posting habits and general competence. When you die, that algorithm hijacks your account and continues to be you. You never die on Facepunch.
Never.
[QUOTE=mastersrp;21665462]Well, I'm not sure if you've realized this before, but you WILL die someday, and you're in no way in control of when that is going to happen. It could happen in 1 hour. As far as this forum knows, it could've already have happened.
First, you have to *know* .. not fear .. *know* that someday you are gonna die.
When I die, I'll update it myself. Ain't nobody changing my status.[/QUOTE]
That Fight Club quote has no relevance at all.
I've got some pretty good friends on the internet, people who I talk to through Skype almost every day. If one of them died, I think I'd be pretty sad.
Did she drop any good loot?

I hate myself for laughing at this. :geno:

You should, not because it is terrible, but because it is old and unfunny.
I remember back in 2003, I used to visit this old halo mods forum simply named "Halomods." I was young back then and I didn't even know how I make my own account so I simply browsed through the mods that appeared for the game. Then, what caught my eye was this cartoony cel-shade mod. It was made by this great modder, his username was Xavier. I read through his mod threads he made and he created a lot of mods for halo that I thought wouldn't even be possible. I downloaded them and played around with them in the game. I was amazed and hooked to them. I followed this guy's updates for a whole year and I wanted to thank him for such great mods he'd made, but me not knowing how to create an account yet, I couldn't. On December 24th, 2004, he made a post saying he has the flu and that he's going to rest for a while. As I went through my Christmas, I kept waiting for him to come back. On the 26th, I opened the forums. The front page says, "R.I.P. Xavier." He passed away on the Christmas night in his sleep from the flu. I was heartbroken, I didn't know what to think. I had mixed feelings, I keep thinking he would come back and post some more great mods but I also knew that he wouldn't. He had a big memorial you could access on the front page where it would give you links to all of his mods. After his death, I found out how to make an account and finally thanked him in his memorial thread. The forum got taken down in January of this year and everything got deleted. I can't find his mods anymore.
[QUOTE=Big Dumb American;21665281]Though we may talk every day, you're still all strangers to me. Please understand that I don't say this to seem cold, or to be mean, but I don't feel enough of an emotional connection towards anybody on a forum or video game to feel much more than passing sorrow at the news of their death. I'd think it was tragic, but I'd receive the news in much the same way that I do about news of a death over the television or in a newspaper: a fleeting sense of pity.
I really hope none of you die, though. For the most part, ya'll a swell bunch of folk.[/QUOTE]
You are one of the best members on this forum. I wish you well, good sir.
5 years ago I played a lot of Habbo, at the time I had a 'job' as a doctor at somebody's hospital place and everybody there had become pretty good friends with each other. The owner was a girl from London who everybody was really friendly with, even if some of them just wanted her stuff, but then the 7/7 bombings in London happened and she was suddenly gone without any kind of warning, the community fell apart and I couldn't help but think she had been one of the victims...
It's quite scary to think somebody could be there and then never be seen again and nobody would ever know what had happened unless their family just happened to know what communities they had been part of and thought to inform them...
Some of my Steam friends haven't been on in over a year. Did they just leave or did something terrible happen? :ohdear:

Lol Nice one dewd.
[QUOTE=Comcastic;21665258]Everyone gets old and then we die.
Everyone you know now and will ever know is going to die.
Have a nice day.[/QUOTE]
I will live forever :smug:
Just came to pay my respects. OP has a heart give him another.
Hearts to OP.
I already know when I will die.
The men in my family die at about 40-45 years of age, I have no clue why.
Seeing as I'm 19 years old, I'm half way there.
Fitting song for thread mood:

In the future, depending on what lingers on the internet somewhere in some dusty old server in the world... Will be the day-to-day ramblings of the long dead and elderly.
I used to play a popular MMORPG and news of one of the best players on the game died. I felt really weird the whole day and kept thinking about him. It unexpectedly hit me hard and i felt really uncomfortable. Please don't ask why because i don't know. Maybe over the five years i spent seeing him in the highscores, i can describe it like getting used to something being there but have a problem with it not?
