Lamont 0 Posted November 21, 2008 This morning I managed to wake to some tragic news a friend, and a previous member of this community, had suffered from a fatal overdose and passed away late tuesday evening. Greg "Hooahman" was a active member of the BIS forums, prehaps a little too energetic for his own good as his run in with Placebo ended with him being banned and outcast from this community which he loved so dearly. With the recent death of his grandmother and his preformance at school spiralling down, this forum provided a real sense of community and belonging for him, a stability that you can only find with a group of people. Unknown to his friends at the time he was taking heavy doses of medication which compounded his already shakey mentality and with the loss of his outlet, these forums, he only sunk deeper into depression. No one could of known such a seemingly trivial action would lead to this tragic event unfolding and I am not attempted to direct any blame at Placebo, it is completly uncalled for, but I hope we can hang our heads as we remeber the good times with Greg "Hooahman" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

raedor 8 Posted November 21, 2008 Hm, pretty funny joke... http://www.militaryphotos.net/forums/showthread.php?t=146475 So he was still pretty alive after "Tuesday evening", when he was supposed to pass away. Lamont, you'll read from us. Closing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Placebo 29 Posted November 21, 2008 This morning I managed to wake to some tragic news a friend, and a previous member of this community, had suffered from a fatal overdose and passed away late tuesday evening. Funnily enough I just woke up to the tragic news that Hooahman had PM'd me at 6:45am today asking to be unbanned, never been PM'd by a ghost before, enjoy your permanent ban.

Placebo 29 Posted November 21, 2008 No I left it open so that those people who were fooled into showing concern/commiserations have the option of telling this sad sack of shit exactly what they think of such a devious and immature thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soul_assassin 1745 Posted November 21, 2008 maan i saw the thread in the morning but decided to post when i get home from work. Glad I didn't. Sad ..... very sad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chops 111 Posted November 21, 2008 Poor Hooahman. Did he suggest BIS update/fix/change the forums? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
W0lle 1049 Posted November 21, 2008 Poor Hooahman. Did he suggest BIS update/fix/change the forums? The intention of keeping this thread open was not to discuss why hooahman has been permanently post-restricted. Check his profile and see the last post he made back in May this year, then you find out why he has been punished. Insulting forum moderators is a no-go, no matter how 'famous' the member in question is (no it wasn't me who decided about the punishment). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

raedor 8 Posted November 21, 2008 And Placebo obviously hit the wrong button. BTW hooahman had a 2 week PR, not a perm ban. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
