So Glennx0r, let's talk about other things like..
Remember when you used to be fat? Not trying to hit a nerve but that is indeed a ''classic'' AGN thing! <3 (don't abduct me, I am fat right now!)
Yeah, I definitely remember that. I don't take offense or anything. I was going through a rough time, what with my depression, mental instability, and enough foreign chemicals in my blood to turn me into one of the X-Men.
I'm very glad I managed to lose the weight, and I've been very successful with my running. Looking at how I looked around 2003 or so, compared to how I do now (the picture I'm using as my avatar right this moment was taken sometime this past April I think), it's a huge difference.
It's amazing how much more energy and dexterity I have, and how much easier it is to do daily things in general.
You should camwhore more, lmao.
I demand you guys let me make a Picture Post 3.0 since goKi's is all old and drunken? lolol D:
Anyway, I also remember that my first online friend EVER was Gerudo! He and I lost touch with each other for about the last 2-3 years but he's still the coolest shithead ever! After Geru, I befriended MrCow and lost my virgini--OHSHIT.
😊
I didn't make a "Carrot Red is Gone" thread for a couple of reasons.
1) I didn't feel it was really my place. I was informed of her death by another AGN member, and decided to let them decide whether or not to do it.
2) Her death was painful to me and I didn't feel like anything I would say in a tribute thread would do her justice.
So when I saw her name on Jennifer's list, I just figured it was a good chance to get everyone up to date. I felt something short and meaningful would be the best way to say something. Carrot Red was someone I couldn't summarize in some italicized poems or a place in my internet "sig". I usually consider myself fairly adept with words, but my vocabulary is not up to the task of encapsulating a human life that was important to me.
Prrkitty - don't worry, no apology necessary
I think that Orion was my first online friend. AGN was the first place I ever socialized or got involved in on the Internet, and I started talking with him pretty quickly as we were both into Zelda Classic really heavily at the time. I met Lilith through him, as she was his girlfriend at the time.
Thanks Bel <hug> *curls back up into my mod chair and gets comfy*
Condolences to everyone involved. I'd come to enjoy reading her posts and have missed her in her absence. I can't deny I'm glad we now know what happened and can move forward.

I'm still a pretty big dick, I just found other people IRL to take out my frustrations on.
Well, I suppose it's about time to make this post then. I'm the member that Bel is referring to. Like Bel, i never knew what CR's last name was, and I don't have an article for you. Really finding out about her death was why I came back to AGN. Just never could summon up the nerve to post about it.
I was under the impression that she got run off because people were annoyed with her and fatcatfan or something. I had no idea that she actually died.
She did get run off, around the time that I stopped posting.
Why wouldn't more people have heard about such a disaster of epic scale? (It's always epic when someone you really care about shuffles off the mortal coil.)
Because without knowing CR's home city, it's difficult to dredge up articles that are nearly a year old. And i don't know any french to look in french newspapers.
I would hope that someone with "true" knowledge about Carrot Red would have come to tell us if something truly happened to her.
I told a select few. I never did make up a full post. I honestly don't expect her husband to come in here and post. Not with the way she left this place
Fatcatfan went crazy? I know he disappeared, but I never heard about that.
Wait, what? I believe FCF is still sane. He posted back in April, and seemed sane enough.
First, I pay my respects to Carrot Red. Didn't know her much here, but I consider everyone here a friend (except for the n00b-ish people and hackers)
Second. I remember Fatcatfan a bit. Didn't seem like a crazy person to me.
Third, I remember Axel screwing around with my joke thread, The Phobia of Dragon Omega which was popular back then for awhile. Somewhat. I've considered making a new one because messing with my brother is fun. :kitty:
FCF didn't seem crazy to me either, that's why I was so surprised when War Lord said that. He seemed nice, I just wonder where he is today.
Maybe 'going crazy' is just an exaggeration for 'stopped posting' ?
To me, 'going crazy' means that fatcatfan started lashing out against the staff because of some righteous indignation.
I don't know the details behind this though, as I wasn't really paying attention to AGN when this happened.
Dech:
there's a little more to it than just stopped posting.
From what I've gathered through search, is that there was some controversy between him and Breaker (and possibly other staff). FCF banned Breaker, the rest of the staff got fired up, then FCF quit.
Fast forward a year and a half, he comes by and posts in Bel's thread about Bel's financial situation back in April. Aside from that, I don't think he's been even lurking as of late.
I know, I remember when all that happened. Everyone gave him and Carrot Red some shit and they bounced. No doubt stuff went on behind the scenes, but some people here seem to be taking the phrase 'went crazy' a little too literally.
Her loss is felt by a lot of us here no matter how long it's been since the tragedy happened.
deathbyhokie... I'm really glad to see you posting again. I wish there was more I could say/do... *hug*

Hmmm... do you have a link? I don't remember that thread.
I found it here.

Check out post 31.
EDIT: Posted at same time. Nice.
Yeah, that's not crazy. :O
But meh, the drama seems to be dead so he should come back. :/
Or maybe he really is crazy.
FCF and carrot left because me and breaker/someone else (?? do not remember) were making snide comments implying a relationship between the two. FCF took it way too seriously and I think I got banned for like 2 days. Then I got unbanned FCF sent me a PM freaking out about me "humilating" carrot red and she also stopped posting (never heard anything from her though), then FCF stopped posting. Whoops.

I never made a thread about it because I was not the AGN member who originally learned of it, and I thought I'd leave it to that person if they felt a thread should be made. It's been quite a while though, so I guess it doesn't hurt to make it known now.
Carrot Red (I am not using her real name because she didn't like sharing it on the internet) was in Europe on vacation. From what I've been told, she was hit by a drunk driver late at night on her way home. We never would have known at all if her boyfriend hadn't opened her instant messenger and notified her contacts.
Damn.
I guess you're serious.
That's a real bummer.
By the way, if fatcatfan went crazy, it would be completely understandable, because he was her father. I know, the first time I heard it I couldn't believe it either.
i don't know if that was 100% true, Sam. i think it was just a joke to keep people guessing. with FCF not here, and CR... i don't think we'll find out about that anytime soon.
Fatcatfan was NOT Carrot Red's father, nor were they involved in any kind of relationship other than good friends on the internet. Just so there's no confusion.
This thread is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen.
If you don't know what the fuck is going on, then shut the fuck up.

My thread is not ridiculous!
;_;
Let me rephrase:
"The current line of discussion this thread has degenerated into is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. This has been caused, in part, by people who don't know anything stating facts that are incorrect. It would be much appreciated if these people would shut the fuck up. That's what I would do if I didn't know what I was talking about. I'd shut the fuck up. Shut. The. Fuck. Up."
Mars, bitches.
This thread went from old members reminiscing about the good days to new members claiming that other members disappeared because they were somehow related. I'm not an overly sensitive person, and usually things don't bother me. I'm just saying, if you don't know the facts, which you don't, then don't claim anything like that, especially in regards to the subject of death, which is very sensitive to many people.
:3
Anyways, Dechipher, I remember when you just a little annoying teenager who offered to help me with music on my old ZC quest that I never finished. 😃
Now you're just..
Dechipher.
