El Chup appears to have passed away

Fuck, this is not what you want to wake up to.

I've got his phone number, not that we kept in touch much, if anything outside WF, but just checked his whatsapp status hoping this is all a big joke but it says he last was active last Wednesday. ☹

For as much as he was a pompous ass, his way or the high way, his heart was always in the right place. He put a fair bit of time into this place and we will certainly miss him.

20 odd years of being online mates, sparring partners, enjoy getting a rise out of each other. All gone it looks like. Take care my friend.

Early 40s i reckon.

El Chup gave me a lot of shit here, but his PM’s were very kind. We had a gentleman’s agreement that I won’t go into, but I assure, I hold no ill will towards him. His last PM to me was in late October and he was kind to me then. Whatever happened, it must have happened quick.

Well, fuck.

He'll be up there now, arguing with St. Peter as to why you can't discriminate on entry to Heaven based on religious grounds.

Holy shit.

He's earned his pips (did they import over from vBulletin?)

Crap, I hate when this happens.

Damn.



Damn.

You know what is really creepy? I have had Facebook friend recommendatios for his real name. Until I saw this I had no clue what his name was.

Unlikely, but did Chup post on TBBS after the original WF exodus? Should maybe let anyone there who still remembers him know. Though Bonz can prolly pass it on (and would know if he was still active there).

Who gets his wig?

I'm shocked, Chup was a Wordforge giant.

Who will carry on his side of the argument about whether Britain has a codified constitution?

do all Brit lawyers wear those or just trial lawyers? Because their lawyer advertising billboards would be hilarious!
If Chup were here he would jump all over that comment. I'm so taking off my Christmas card list this year!

Maybe he was so crushed by George Bush dying that he died in sympathy?

The fuck? How would that link you up if you don't have any other WF friends connected?

He didn't link to many of us cuz of the fianceé trolling stuff, so it's pretty odd you'd find his of all profiles by chance.

probably not, but half-baked theories have been formed over less! El Chup would be honored if we bicker over it.

Not with Facebook. That software is insidious. It looks at everything you do, and everywhere you go, and makes connections.

wow.....I guess never getting a Facebook account was one of my (rare) smart decisions.

So, has anyone broken the news to Dayton, and is Dayton okay?

It doesn't matter, Facebook still tracks you and has a database on you.

Shit, I got a friend recommendation for KIRK1ADM when I had no WF friends, and 0 mutual friends. To this day I don't know how it made that connection.

well you sure seem to know a lot about Facebook Tuckerfan.......if that's even your real name. Funny how I never see you and Facebook in the same room together, isn't it? How much is Facebook paying you to sell out your own people?

Shitty to hear.

If you have Alexa, Siri, or Google Home, your browser will have ads for shit you TALK about in the house!

I went to a job fair a year ago, and when I got home and logged into Facebook the first thing that I saw was an ad for one of the companies I had talked to, saying that they were hiring.

You were probably face recognized at a traffic light.

Is . . . is this real?

Nah, geolocation tracked via my phone. (Facebook knows where you are, even when they say they don't.) Oh, and Facebook's facial recognition software thinks I'm Nigel Farage, for some reason.

Welcome back, wish it were under better circumstances

Anything new with you?
