We are sad to inform you that one of our old-time moderators and friends took his life this past weekend. Tribal was a Support staff member who joined at the start of this era of Omnimaga back in the fall of 2008. He was also a member of the community before Omnimaga: he joined Cemetech a year prior, in September 2007. In this time, Tribal did not start or work on many projects with the community; instead he devoted his time around to talking with people engaging in good conversation and making sure that the peace was kept when it needed to be. He moderated our IRC channel back when it was on Dragonfire, and continued to do so all the way into the arrival of Omninet and the botnets that connected it and EfNet. With this we are asking people that knew him well to sign this form so we can print a card out for the family and send it to them to show our sympathy and support.
 

The memorial service for tribal was yesterday(friday the 25th). One of our members, Rcfreak0, went to this service to show his condolences to the family and to pass along a card that had everyone who contributed it. May he rest in peace and live on in memory and heaven for along time to come

I didn't save what I sent through the form sadly, but as I said basically, I was shocked to hear this earlier from Juju when we were hanging out. You were always a great friend, helpful in many ways and now since about 3 PM when I heard about this, I think about you every 30 minute or so no matter what. It already feels like there is some extra empty space on Omnimaga now even if you weren't that active in recent years. You will always be remembered by us and I wish I could have been able to help (even if that is hard within the limits of Internet).

Farewell friend. :'(

I didn't know him/didn't ever see/chat with him, but I give my sympathies to his family.

This is especially sad for me, however, because this is the 3rd suicide of a person I knew/knew of in the past 6 months.

The first was of a concert band member and member of the robotics team, during the summer.
The second, also during the summer, was of a neighbor whose dad leads a cover band my mom plays in.
Now the third is of Tribal, and he will be missed, though I did not know him, I know of what he had done.

I only wish I could have helped these people find a better way to deal with their problems. :'(

well fuck, um...
i'm not sure how this sort of thing is supposed to work, um.
don't any of the rest of you go doing this, ok? ;_;

EDIT:

I will personally be making sure some flowers are sent on behalf of omnimaga as a community

thanks, geek.

I didn't know you and probably haven't even seen/met you on IRC in my time here. It's sad to see this happen. My sympathies to your family and everyone else. I don't really know what to say so to join shmibs: fuck :'(

I didn't know tribal too well, he was pretty much inactive when I joined though I occassionally chatted with him on IRC. This really makes me feel sad. I really don't know what to say other than what shmibs said: fuck.

I will personally be making sure some flowers are sent on behalf of omnimaga as a community he will be missed

Thanks.

Edit:

..Messgae..

I don't know, but this typo made me feel slightly better somehow.

R.I.P 


(ps: small mistake in the Google form: Messgae  -> Message)

I didn't know you either, but this is just sad! I feel for your family. :'(

Likewise. R.I.P. :'(
