There was a guy on the INTK board from India (forgot his name) who DISAPPEARED after one of their trains fell off a mountain or hillside. Aj_June ? Doubtful. I last heard from Aj on 9-22-19. He's been focused on his new job as a financial analyst. There are exams he must pass to move up the ladder.

Lord Natrone, a well-respected and much loved poster on the various Lord of the Rings boards, at their height. Even the trolls paid their respects when the shocking news came of his passing.
I recall a Music Board regular died in a car crash, but I don't recall his screen name. And of course "Mortytoad," previously mentioned on this thread. I reconnected with him on Facebook shortly before he passed. Great guy.

Dusty, who was a Classic Film Board frequenter. He was apparently caring for his ill mother, and when she passed away he made some posts saying he had nothing left to go on for, and was going to commit suicide. Others tried to talk him out of it, but his depression won out and he did, I'm told, end his life. This was not too very long before the old boards came to an end, but I don't recall the exact date. Saddening, to know someone means to do this, and to realize there's nothing really to be done to stop or dissuade them from the act. I saw his suicidal declaration on Film General, it was in January 2017, just before the announcement of the shutdown. I forgot about him. Thanks for that. I recall feeling particularly badly about it, it just seemed awful that he was so beyond the reach of help out of his depression.

Hey, gameboy How are things going? Hope you are doing well. Yeah, the new job is taking a lot of my time as well as somethings I have to clear as Sulla mentioned. I post almost exclusively on the sports board as it is quite relaxed environment on the sports board. I used to post on Religion board too but have not been active there in the last 5 months. I found that place to be repetitive and confronting and decided I would quit posting there in May.

It's my favorite board here, and the one which best carries on the legacy of IMDb's Religion. Agreed that the board itself hasn't changed a lot and is closest to any board is to its original board on old IMDB. I may just return to it but probably after June next year.

YoumightRabbitYoumight aka Cupcakes, suddenly disappeared not long after Cash died. I wonder if he too, passed away. I don't know. Sometimes people just choose to quit this addiction. I didn't know him very well. I'm not sure I wanted to. Yeah, I can understand you not wanting to. He was kind of rude & arrogant.

I didn't know him very well. I'm not sure I wanted to. Its coincidental timing...but i don't believe Rabbit was Cash. I could talk to Cash. Despite our differences over the years we still had enough of a relationship that we could usually talk about random shit without being snarky. I never had that with Rabbit. I had the opposite of that with Rabbit, where even tho id be talking about a frickin John Wayne western he'd bring up something about white privilege i said 6 years ago.

He was mainly rude to religious believers - Christians in particular. However, I noticed that even some non-believers began to dislike him immensely after a while too.

No, he definitely wasn't Cash. They were both anti-theists & bigoted, however, the personalities were vastly different. Rabbit lasted about a month longer than Cash on the message forum. Cash may have been one of his last allies left on the forums, & then when he died, he probably had nobody left, which would explain why he stopped posting.

My post of "you people are weird" still reflects my opinion of that board. I miss the Scalvador & Erjen and Bucky & Erjen thing of the old board. Things got just too nasty after Father Jack Hacket left.

I wonder what happened to a guy named Someone464 on the old board. Bit of a weird one, that guy. He said he caused a scene at work because he cried his eyes out when Angus T Jones came out as a Christian; he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what he did and that his co-workers were going to pay when he got promoted.
He later admitted he was bipolar and was in a bit of a pickle as he falsely accused some family members of criminal activity to the police (who didn't believe him after they found out about his mental health) and was worried about being sued.

Stammerhead gameboy, was there a Soapbox poster named Plate O Shrimp who passed away? I know that that name was always on some list with Cloud Of Souls, and I knew neither (before my time), but I did think they were mentioned together in this context.

There was a user named Plate O Shrimp, but I don't know if he died. I think he left the board when Ben started flooding it with the PTL worship; he may have already been gone by then.

...that you are personally aware of. I'll add some in a later post. There was a poster who went by the name of TheDyingFlutchman (he used some other screen names prior to that, but TDF was the last one he used). Very curious, strange, and interesting guy: he appeared to have had some sort of inner connections to the movie business, possibly as a writer (?) dating back to the 1950s, possibly even before. He used to post some very "inscrutable" comments all over the place - often on boards of very obscure old films, TV shows, actors, directors, etc. Seems like he had the inside scoop on a lot of things in Hollywood, but he would frame it in rather vague terms.
Anyway, he was ailing and later died. One of his relatives (I think it was his wife?) posted that he died of cancer. This was about a year before the IMDb boards shut down.
