I don't know how many of you guys were actually following the mod or being involved in it, but I read this on the forum:

Now, I know this is the snarkpit, and I know a lot of you people have very explicit thoughts on suicide. Keep it respectful, please.

My thoughts go out to the family and friends.

Well this sorta stuff happens all over the internet, because people get either really suicidal or want to kill off a username. This has happened at least twice at svencoop with non-mod people on the forums craving attention, there was one such instance with someone called "superllama". he got hated because he acted inappropriatly. he then announced that he was gonna kill himself in 7 days. as the forum rules stated "no duplicate accounts" meaning you cant have 2 accounts from the same IP. on said day he signed back up pretending to be his sister. admins spotted this pretty much instantly as he logged into his account then logged out. the IP's were the same. he even managed to typo she into he a few times in his first post, the admins spotted this and banned him. he wasnt dead.
</skeptacism>

On the other hand why do people drive themselves to this? they must have pretty f*cked up minds for them to get driven that far. if you dont like something, get the hell away from it!

there are reasons for suicide, some of which make perfect sense, so should be left unexplained, just in case they make perfect sense to the wrong person.

fishy is right. Someone might get the wrong ideas. But I must admit that burning yourself to death takes a hell of a lot courage to do(and yes, I know it might have not been his intention)... D.I.P.R.I.P.

Nickster was actually a member here, albeit it a sporadic visitor. I spoke with him a few times in the past and he seemed a really nice guy. I don't know what brought him to suicide but my sympathy goes out to all his family and friends.

Holy cow, you mean the same Nickster from here was the same Nickster that lead Goldeneye Source?! I didn't realize that. I actually new Nickster a little bit and I remember him posting here aswell.

His name sounded familiar but it took a while to strike me that it's the same guy who used to post here! I remember his posts... sounded like a very decent and respectful guy who took most of the snarkpit banter in his stride...

I didnt know him at all but this has to be a tough time for the people around him. My condolences to his family and friends. I hope they get through this tough time.

Also, one of his relatives posted at the GE:S forums.

RIP nickster

Never met him but I can understand what it's like. A friend of mine hung himself in his garage two weeks ago, and he didn't have any problems either, he was a totally nice guy that everyone liked.

'Tis a strange thing...

People crop it up, I think.

Last year, a teacher at my school committed suicide. I'm not in a problem school or anything, and it was just an ordinary math teacher. He carefully left a note on the table, then drove his car off into the canal.

Self-inflicted shutdown procedures are usually done by a person that looks okay for an outsider. People just are good at hiding what really happens behind their eyes. Yet, it's always sad to see it happen.

I hope he found what he's looking for.

I also hope his family can make it though these tough times.

But the strange thing is that I knew this guy, like really well. I'd hang out with him almost every day, and when I went to his house he didn't seem to have any family issues or anything.

Yes, me being one of them. For you however, I will abstain.

To the survivors of this extremely self centered act, my condolences.

I have always believed 3 things about death. And I truly believe them.

1) Death last a freaking long time. Do not rush getting there because it last long enough already.
2) This world is a much better place with me in it, than not.
3) The world will mourn my passing. One day each of you will sigh and not know why. You will just sigh. That day will prolly be the one I died on.
