Re: Many will think I'm a dick because of this
I just have to say-as a member who's "moderately" active on this board. I was saddened to hear about this news and I absolutely have seen Jib's threads and comments for years-so I know it's a huge loss for the forum. SInce his passing, I've seen pictures and avatars and signatures and everything.....
While an argument has been made for "everyone to deal with this in their own way" I have to say that perhaps the best way to deal with that is to create another division of this board to deal with threads/thoughts/discussions about this matter....
At the end of the day-this is a dance music forum and there are loads of people who come here to be a part of a community of people who share the same love. If there are some new people, or even some seasoned members, who are looking to feel like a part of a community(one in which Steve himself valued tremendously), it can instantly alienate people and be a reason to steer clear. With all the bad news these days, job losses, war etc people often indulge in some time wasting here in order to escape from all this. It's a bit tough to check out some new music and friends and be confronted by SUICIDE everywhere.....
