smudge Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Picture this:FM11. You check out Hull City's favoured personnel page. Nothing there... ...surely wouldn't be too hard to hide him in there as an easter egg for the savvy users amongst us to unlock? His profile could contain a rundown of his life and SI career, and the high level of respect he had. Or maybe create him as an ever present regen? absolutely agree, i'd expect something to be placed into the game to celebrate his life. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

help!!! Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Just got in from work and was going to have a laugh with some of the posts, doubt I am going to now. Never knew him really, but he was always knowledgable and helpful in everything that he did on the forums. Even though I don't know him, I'm sat here mouth wide open and have been for the past 4 pages. As said, 44 is no age. RIP Serps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anon! Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 ****. Like many, reading this has left me speechless. I never really had much/any interaction with Serps but I do know that he'll leave a massive hole in this community. RIP fella. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cms186 Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Yh, hes the only mod i had on MSN, was always willing to chat about any issues you might have, was genuinely a nice guy, the place wont be the same without him, its very strange how the death of someone youve never even met can effect you so badly, like a lot of people, ive been here a long time, and ever since i started posting here, Serps was always there, being funny ( whether by intention or by accident ! ), always had an opinion worth listening to and it goes to show how well liked and respected he was by the amount of sentiment in this thread Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Moores Mum Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Bloody hell I've not really read much of this thread, but that's quite a shocker. Always thought about 'what if' when it comes to someone you know from the internet dies and how suprising/shocking it would be. Very weird when you don't know someone personally.

CovFan Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 RIP Serpico, you were a star and the world is a worse off place without you. Also Serpico pretty much bought club threads to these forums Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mag man Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 This is so sad, just read through the thread and the response from the community is staggering for someone people didnt know in real life. Says a lot about the person he was. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnwalker Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Was genuinely shocked when my friend told me this, never really interacted with him aside from the odd post in the football forum but as many of said he was part of the furniture.

LRJ Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 ****! Didnt get into many conversations with him, but was always my favourite mod, so many of his posts made me actually laugh out loud. Always remember when I got put on post mod for winding some GQers up and he was the one who got me off it.

Haz Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 For all that this is just an internet message board, and Serpico is someone I never interacted with personally, I am hugely saddened at his passing as he always came across as an absolutely brilliant bloke. Easily the best mod the boards had, he was fair, generous and harsh as was appropriate, and was one of the few people whose post I would make a point of reading if I saw his name was the last one on a thread. RIP Jim. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfpunk Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 It's a really nice sight seeing all these messages for Serps.

deanb291186 Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Not really posted on here for a while but still lurk every now and then, I'll always remember Serpico as being a regular user with an opinion I respected and liked to read his views on a topic.

Higgzy Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Still really struggling to accept this has happened.

I obviously didn't know him anywhere near to how you knew him but I'm still speechless over this. Just hard to accept that he wont be around and posting on these boards anymore. Such a true gentleman and an honest and fair guy. Whatever is decided regarding donations I'll certainly put something in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ackter Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 We were speaking practically daily (over MSN) for a long time, mainly through our shared love of Hermione and discussions over him being rubbish at FM and FML and me being rubbish at poker - its a really empty feeling knowing I won't see him log-in again. This is horrible enough and I can't imagine how it feels for all those who know him better than me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Champmanlover Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 I've never been a massive poster here but i've been here a long time. Just wanted to say what a great bloke i thought he was, one of the few mods that i cant really remember getting sh*t off people because everyone loved him, he knew how to tow the line of being one of the gang but also an authoritive figure and had it down to a tee. Sad day for OTF, RIP Serpico Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
YippeeKaeYay Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Whoah that has taken me completely off guard. I used to speak to him on MSN and constantly berate him at poker because he had more poker software windows running than tables. Very helpful chap and did a good job of looking out for my infractions on OTF even though I spent a period trying to get banned. 44? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gooner32 Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 RIP Of all the years I've spent prowling around these forums (I'm not much of a poster as you can see) Serpico came across as genuinely one of the nicest guys not only on these forums, but throughout a lot of internet forums I've used.

Divinity Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 I don't really have the words to describe what I feel, and I didn't even know him that well.
