A question

[earthman buck]

Has any GT member that you know of ever died?

[Cryptic Excretions]

Has any GT member that you know of ever died?
Dude, I think about that quite frequently. How would we know if they died? They'd just stop showing up and we'd just assume that they're too busy. None that I know of.

[Cryptic Excretions]

GT members don't die. GT members multiply.

Yeah, I can't stop thinking about it either. My friend is a member on the Pearl Drummers' Forum, and there was this thread once commemmorating some well-liked member who got in a car accident and died. All I could think was "wow, how did they find out?"

Someone on the Pearl drummers forum died? I was wondering why the world suddenly felt like a better place.

Cryptic... That is terrible.. Even for you....

[Andrew Sa]

yeah dude, that is a bit mean...slightly funny...but way more insensitive and twisted...

[GuitarPsy]

it depends on how well the guy/girl is known on the forum, never experienced someone dying on a forum, though they could've, many that were never heard off again :rolleyes:

reminds me of a band from around here, that made a song 'crash and burn' about a friend of theirs, who had a car accident, I really respect such things

[jiujitsu_jesus]

That's such a terrible thought... I mean, people could still be talking about the person who died as if they were still alive, for some time after they actually died. Sorry, that was a retarded sentence , but you get what I mean, don't you? I mean, Stackny was away for the past week; imagine if we'd been having conversations about him, and expecting to hear all his news from him, and he'd died in a car crash while he was away - we'd have absolutely no way of knowing.

...sounds like somebosy called the tbs humour department.

How odd. I was thinking about this yesterday. For some reson I waw thinking about dying, and I kept wondering how or if everyone here would find out...

[earthman buck]

Well if I died, you'd find out from acapella. The rest of you....I don't know. I guess we would probably never know.

[GuitarPsy]

from me? you won't know, unless someone finds my password and informs every forum I visit :rolleyes: ..not gonna happen

[ericthecableguy]

Well if I died, you'd find out from acapella. The rest of you....I don't know. I guess we would probably never know.

Is acapella dead, or defecting from Canada or something? Haven't seen much of him lately.

[earthman buck]

He's probably just hiding out. He doesn't want to get banned, and everything he says is highly offensive.

[ericthecableguy]

Ha, the funny thing is all you have to do on an internet forum is not write s***. I do realize, however, that you're probably joking and I just made myself look like an idiot. :p

[pure]

acapella won that tonja renee song thing so he was here.. and also what if you both die? and why do we care? if we stop writing to the forums, we're dead to the forums. if we die, we're dead to the forums. both ways were still dead, and maybe even if we all chatted and stuff, we really dont know each other and dont even know if we were rally friends. we dont know each other. thats' like donald trumt dieing and everybody in the world crying. if bill gates dies though, i guess ill leave my computer off for 24 hours.

[elklandercc]

I wonder where all his money would go? Spread out to the world? Charity? Family?

Fine, fine- I'm convinced. I promise i won't care when you die. :rolleyes:

thank you. thats all i wanted. you dont even know me anyway. i could be the guy next door whos your worst enemy or something. who knows. i could be planning your murder as i speak. you shouldnt trust anybody over the internet so why care if i die? as i said, i could be the person your worst enemy, and my death brings you happiness, so dont get all sad when i die.


300th POST.... i went and got a cookie

[magicninja]

If I croak I'll have my wife let you guys know. I would want my username and power to live on so I would bequeth them to whichever son is more interested in learning.

Hmmm...I've never had a true adversary before. Now I've might have one (whom I don't know).

Man, and I thought I was cynical...

Sorry Pure, I think I'm going to have to cry when you die. I'll miss your cynicism. ;)

[iiholly]

When other people die... I'm just glad it wasn't me or someone close to me. That's just the way I am. If someone close to me dies I'm still glad it wasn't me most of the time.
If I died I wouldn't want anyone over the net to know so that they could pretend to be sad and post lame things. I wouldn't want to be one of those people who die in high school either. It's so ridiculous to see the amount of people who didn't even know the person cry and **** just for the attention.

[jiujitsu_jesus]

I dunno - I think many of those people cry because, naturally, they're shocked and upset by death, albeit the death of somebody they didn't really know. But I'll agree that some of the eulogising and commemoration after a death can be attention-seeking and sycophantic, eg. barely-casual acquaintances of the person in question who suddenly become their bereaved best friends after the person's death.

what he said, we're all human, everyone deals with death his own way, some take advantage from it, like getting all the attention on them, maybe without even realizing

[jiujitsu_jesus]

I have only just realised how frequently I used the word "death" in that last post... how morbid...

[Akira]

and also what if you both die? and why do we care? if we stop writing to the forums, we're dead to the forums. if we die, we're dead to the forums. both ways were still dead, and maybe even if we all chatted and stuff, we really dont know each other and dont even know if we were rally friends. we dont know each other. thats' like donald trumt dieing and everybody in the world crying. if bill gates dies though, i guess ill leave my computer off for 24 hours.

I dunno, I'd like to think that most people on here are my friends.

[magicninja]

Akira is my friend. If he died I'd would be standing here beside myself. (Sorry I watch Short Circuit last night :o ).

Hm... translating this to music... The death of Kurt Cobain....... The majority of grunge fans preferred Pearl Jam over Nirvana until it became cool to mourn the death of Kurt Cobain by going out and buying tshirts, cds, and other NIrvana/Cobain memorabilia...

I think the same thing happens in high schools when a student dies. It becomes a quick lived fad to mourn the death of a student... because everyone talks about it and everyone knows it's not cool to be left out... but in most cases of suicide in high school... I reference Blink 182's 'Adam Song' "another six months I'll be unknown"

[earthman buck]

I dunno, I'd like to think that most people on here are my friends.
Yeah, me too. Although, like pure said, I really don't know you guys at all. And still I find myself liking you all more than most people.

[acapella]

I think of you guys as my friends. I'll probably get banned and never get to communicate with you again, which makes me sad, because I like you more than most people I know in real life.

[jeffhx]

oh yeah the thought of death ispretty freaky...i love u guys seriously.... never ever have been so engaged in a forum..lol....ma borthers and penisless bortherss.. for life

weeeeeeeeee

Please tell me that I am not a Penisless Bortherss..... That sounds attractive... :rolleyes:

[rockonn91]

sorry, i didnt want to be the one to break it to you, tonja...

but you dont have a penis.

[Andrew Sa]

well Acapella, if you get banned, you'll still talk to me...(marriage if I remember correctly? or atleast a bang? ughhh..sorry dude).

and Tonja, you will always be my penisless Bortherss...I think Jeff has been at the brew again...or still

[Andrew Sa]

sorry, i didnt want to be the one to break it to you, tonja...

but you dont have a penis.


Like someone was saying earlier...you dont know these people, (except Acapella and Earthman...and Playa and Leedog, who now do)...
so...


You never know!!!

[rockonn91]

cue dramatic music....

Right on, man. And don't forget what Dean Guitars are doing with Dimebag Darrell at the moment - that's just disgusting... :( Did you hear that they've made a "Dimebag Darrell Tribute Motorcycle"?!

[aschleman]

I haven't seen the motorcycle. But I have taken notice to what they've been doing with everything else. It seems like death is the ultimate marketing ploi. I mean, look at Tupac and BIG... their record sales soared after their deaths. And everything else that goes a long with either of them... and they still come out with a new cd every few years that seems to go platinum.

Death is the grandest of all marketing schemes...

[6strngs_2hmbkrs]

for a while I was wondering if Dr Simon had died. becuase he wasn't on here for a real long time. now he posts occasionally, so I know he's alive, but I knew there was no way of knowing for sure if he was dead, and it just killed me!

btw, I care enough about the people here that I would want to know if someone died. I think we should all write it in our wills that if we die that someone must come on here to inform us.

[ericthecableguy]

Don't forget krank amps.

[Akira]

Aww.

I vote for a big GT group hug!

(>'_')> <('_'<)

[rockonn91]

i second that motion.

[iiholly]

Yet another fruity thread produced by GT! Good job guys.

If I wrote a will, I'd actually might consider having a part about informing GT. That seems very odd though.

[earthman buck]

I was just thinking a few minutes ago about leaving some sort of trail of clues all across the globe so when I die, some future Indiana Jones type can go on a huge adventure in a quest to find my GT password and inform everyone that I have passed away.

I figure the password should be written on parchment and kept on a chipped marble pedestal in some dank underground secret tomb in a Mongolian temple in the middle of the jungle or something. That would be cool.

[Lordathestrings]

Finding jungles in Mongolia would be a major feat on its own! :rolleyes:

[magicninja]

A desert on the other hand.........would be very easy. The Gobi I believe.
