Thank you.

I followed in the ways of my master, lars63, actually took over The News of The Weird for him :tear: :tear:
Seems he's been gone a while and dearly missed.. ..

R.I.P. Keith Larson :tear:

Also known as lars63 , one of our own and maybe as his icon 'nom de plume' says, a FuddyDuddy.
The connection - Keith was my pen pal for many years in this email era. So many stories :tear:

Sadly missed :tear: and even though we never met, I came to appreciate Keith was a kind and understanding soul.

Cheers mate.

A long, long time ago Chemical Burn posted a history with notable moments in Q3W history. Unfortunately I don't have that post anymore, but after that I did start saving links to notable threads since 2010. YES I AM SAD LIKE THAT!
Here's what I have so far

17 aug 2010
LawL posts his "should I stop posting" thread. He promises to stop posting if more people vote in favor than against. A few days before the closing date of the poll more people voted against him leaving. LawL claims "victory". Shortly after, a large number of votes are added to the "yes" voting option. LawL gets upset and claims a "bitter" admin has hacked the poll. It turns out Captain Mazda registerd a large number of alts and voted for the poll.

I did go 14 days without food and I did lose a significant amount of weight among other health benefits. Highly recommend it. **

**I didn't go without nutrients, I drank juices I made myself throughout this "diet"

Hello Foo! I’ve left the basement unfinished as it’s just serving as my home gym and storage right now - and I diverted about $30,000 into a backyard renovation - put in about 100 feet of new retaining wall (well, I paid professionals to do that part as well as rip up an old pool deck, take out some huge pine trees, and pour me a new patio). Designed and installed a pretty extensive sprinkler system all on my own - that was fun. Laid about 2500 sq feet of sod about a month ago (unloading 5 pallets of sod at 48 is a blast). Still have to do something with the upper tier of the yard, but that is for another year. Finished a remodel of my kids bathroom too.

Good times.

Been a while! The most memorable times were in the years of 2000-2003 for me, but those threads are lost forever. Not sure you guy remember dmmh. He was one of the only q3w members I've met IRL and he became a friend for many years. Later on we had sparsely contact, also cause I moved for my work to another place in the Netherlands. dmmh (Sander) died two years ago after an unfortunate accident when he hit his head in a drunken stupor on the bedpost and had an brain hemorrhage. I only learnt from this 6 months later. It's quite a shame and things might've been different.

Till next time!

I wish it was. When I learnt about his death, I was devastated because I thought he committed suicide because he had a clinical depression and a severe alcohol problem in the past few years. I saw him in 2020 just between the COVID lockdowns and he had become fat of all the Bacardi Cola's. He told me about the nightmary visions he had about hell and the devil. He was still Sander my old friend, but the years of recreational drug-use and alcoholism had cause psychosis and depression. He had a good job, house and a lovely dog. Too bad it went downhill this way.

His facebook page is a memorial now. Look up his name: Sander van der Linden

Damn. I figured out his name from the first name you gave and profile (msn addy), saw he hadn't put anything on his dmmh GitHub for a long time, but didn't manage to find the facebook page. Got it now. How unfortunate.
