We are part of the real future. Though it started before this century, via the internet we live a futuristic life. We have cyber friends we care for just like RL friends. I never thought I would be part of such a community. I'm happy to see the sentiments here and like RL, death often brings people out and together. Still worthwhile if even for a short time. the re-connections have value.
That's the one thing I like about my job. I've been able to travel the country and meet quite a few folks from here. Damn I was supposed to meet Tamar back in 2009 but she had a personal situation come up so it never worked out
I've also met a few folks here...but I don't know about these new mofo's. You know..the ones that have only been here like 10 years.
Well, shit. I would like to tell her friends and family that I am sorry for their lose. Tamar was a part of this community for years even if she later posted less and she made this a much more colorful place. I send my best wishes to them.
You're more right than you know. I remember exactly where I was at when MM called me to let me know that Techman had passed away. After that conversation, I immediately called Tamar. I remember how she took it. Tamar ran the race. I sincerely and genuinely hope she finished well and that her passing was without fear or pain. That said, Tamar's life is done. The person we should be most concerned about now is Zel. We should all remember him in our prayers and thoughts over the coming days and weeks.
Wow. Wow. Wow. I will be praying for Zel. It was always obvious that he and Tamar were madly in love. She was too young. I had been wondering about her recently when I got on wordforge. Man.
Damn. I think we all knew this was coming eventually but it still feels like a punch to the gut. Had so many conversations with her on chat in the old days. It's too bad she left the board for so long. Feels like we never got to say goodbye. Weird how you can know someone and yet not know someone for over 10 years. The Internet is a strange thing. She did fight the good fight for a long, long time. Hats off.
I hate this. We bicker, we bite, we hate, and it's all Wrodforge tradition, even when we forget that sometimes. Tragedies like this bring us back together again. Still, it's good to see some old faces stopping in again. I wish it were under better circumstances.
Fucking hell. This is terrible. I can't even find the words. I gave her a lot of crap on and off throughout the years, but I respected the hell out of her. I'll miss her terribly.
My heart goes out to Zel. Theirs has always seemed one of the most impressive relationships I knew, making both of them happy and giving hope to all of us; it still does that now.
Very sad news. Regardless of what anyone thought of her, she certainly put her heart and soul into this place. RIP Tamar
I'm still wrapping my brain around this, even though I knew that unless she got a transplant and it took without causing problems with potential rejection, this was the outcome. I just didn't need this bad news right now; I've got too much on my own plate as it is. That saying, Kel has my sympathy and condolences and I hope he has plenty of support from family and friends in the vicinity. RIP Tamar.
