keeper Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 really have no clue what to say, but that pretty much expresses the kind of thing I'm thinking at the moment. the distinction between the friends you have in your everyday life and the people you interact with online seems to become very blurry when you hear news like thisrip I concur. Serps was about as close to being a friend as you could get without actually meeting. Without a word of a lie, I am close to tears. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Baker Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Holy ****. Only found out thanks to Mate Hector's Facebook status, and I literally felt my heart sink. It really makes you realise how easy it is to not think of an online community as a group of real people until things like this happen - my most sincere condolences to all those close to him, and anyone here who is genuinely affected in any way by his passing. At least he got to see Hull in the top flight - and saw Phil Brown sacked - before he went. Rest in peace, sir. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powlay Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Crossed swords with him on a good few ocassions in the last few years over me being an angry person towards users and what not, always took the time to PM me and chat on msn rather than infract me.

Mookie Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 ****ing hell.....I'm gutted Loved that guy as much as you can from someone you interact with on the internet.

GillsMan Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 I don't think I'm speaking out of turn when I say he was our best mod: fair and level headed, he helps guide us newer mods.

aston_martin Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Bloody hell, I didn't even know the guy at all, but this has upset me, someone got it spot on above when they said you don't really think of online people as if they're able to die, like they're invincible. Always seemed a decent guy who gave a lot to the forums. 44 is no age at all to go. Condolences to his family. R.I.P. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
batch Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Just not sure what to say really. Most others have said what i'd try to say in much better ways. Despite my considerable number of posts i didnt ever interact with Serps too much. There was the odd bit of Caleb Folan based banter but that was about it.
