Some guy on the Western board. His daughter took over his account after he died and made a few posts about it.

I remember MaeBea from the old soapbox, i had no idea she had died.
Anyway there was this Italian kid that used to troll the sports boards back in the day, I don't really remember his name 'Gio something' but I heard he killed himself.

That guy appeared around 2006 on The Passion of the Christ board during the World Cup and got into heated arguments with almost everyone. It marked the first time we saw many posts of people with whom he disagreed get mysteriously deleted.

There seem to have been a lot of IMDb users that committed suicide over the years. I am aware of a story from when the main boards were first created (quite a long time ago, like 2000 or so) that one of the regs back then blew his head off with a shotgun. A group of regs were discussing it on the Sandbox back in 2006. There were only a couple dozen users at the time, so it was a well known incident.

I remember a guy called paleman666 started posting a lot on Best & Worst and Music (think this was before General was added to that board's name so this is well over 10 years ago at this point) and became quite a popular and well-liked member in a short space of time but then he stopped posting. After a few weeks later one of his family members posted to say that he unfortunately passed away. I can't remember the exact circumstances but I do remember being quite shocked and sharing that feeling with a few other members of the boards he regularly posted on.

There was a user who reviewed dozens, if not hundreds of movies until he died in 2006, but I can't remember his username, unfortunately.

After reading all these names it makes you wonder about all the other anons we’ve all encountered over the years who’ve vanished but we’ll never know whether or not they stopped posting because they died.

A well loved resident of the Classic Film Board on the old boards at that website we do not name was an elderly lady named Billyed. I think she was VERY elderly but knew her classic movies. If I remember correctly, when she died one of her relatives PM'd a Classic Board user that she had been in touch with and that person passed on the news.
A year or so after her death, some newly registered asshole posted on Classic, "I was talking to Billyed the other day and she says to say Hello." Well, he had a mountain of abuse dumped on him (I'm assuming a "him") which I'm sure pleased him very much.

I forget what his exact user name was, but that guy who was known as the Hermit. He was famous for posting celebrity birthday wishes, even for obscure actors. Anyway, it's been said he passed away as well.
